      Just chiming in to say that the E90 DCT is worlds ahead of the SMG transmission that came in the E46. The DCT shifts extremely fast and has a much better feel when you're changing gears.

        We did after Cars and Coffee in Madison!  I took Matt and you took Chris!  That was when the 335i was running just a fresh e85 mix and a PROcede tune lol.

        Speaking of PROcede tunes, I have a Vishnu PROcede V3 for sale. If anyone is interested...

          I'm also thinking a LSB E46 M3 with a stick shift would be an option as well...

            That's a great track option, the e9x is a great all around option.

              Realistically wouldn't be doing much of, if any, track driving. It's just that the LSB E46 has always been near the top of the bucket list.

                I agree with you, I LOVE the LSB e46.  It's a car I had hanging on my wall as a kid.  I still want an e46 some day but the e9x just fits my life a lot better right now.

                          Hey, I came back with a 318ti.  Is that okay to do?  Also I saw that I was "spotted" not long ago.  Man I look fat from behind on a tiny motorcycle.

                                  But how reliable after 172,490 miles is the engine? $3,295 seems like a bargain, but it's in NJ

                                    Mine has 210K, and I paid 1100 with a blown radiator, delivered to my door.  Even after that, engine is quiet.  Buy one cheap.  You can get a pretty nice 318ti for not much.  They aren't worth anything.  

                                    EDIT: Didn't notice your auto-tragic troll post.  Oh you.

                                      So could that one in NJ be worth $3,295? Seems to be super clean, I'd be concerned about the reliability though.

                                      How much does the stock 4-cyl crank out?

                                        That white one looks like a nice clean car. I'd say it's a fair price if you can tolerate an auto and beigey-beige interior.

                                        They're as reliable as any other high-mileage 20-year-old car. All depends on maintenance and luck. M42 and M44 are both rated at 138hp. M44 has more low-end torque, which presumable makes it nicer to daily, but it's a real bore when you go to wind it out because nothing much happens. They also added rocker arms and a torture-chamber intake to the M44 which kind of kills the buzzy, raspy, grap-it-by-the-scruff-of-the-neck nature of the older 4-bangers.

                                        Anyways, speaking of beigey-beige, here's what I came here to post:

                                        Dug the Atari 1040ST out of storage. Mine was manufactured sometime in late 1987. 1 meg of ram, no hard drive, but one of the first PCs to come with a GUI and has MIDI ports built-in standard. Had a project in mind for it, but it doesn't really look like it's going to work. Figured I clean it up and kick it over to see if it still runs. It does. Most amusing part was trying to find "shutdown" in the menu, and then realizing there is no "shutdown", you just turn the power switch off. 👍

                                          A true classic that the Smithsonian would probably snap up in a moment.
