    If you can't tell I'm a bit of a BMW fan.

    2012 E92 M3 with a stroked and bored 4.6L (up from 4.0L) Dinan Stroker motor. Has a bunch of other Dinan parts like CF intake, bored ITBs, a tune, underdrive pulleys, exhaust, and Dinan springs (slightly shorter with a modified bump stop to preserve stock suspension travel). I thought this car was the fastest thing on four wheels until I got the 458. I still love it, though.

    2008 E85 Z4 M. This is the one with the 330hp S54 motor from the E46 M3. Stock aside from underdrive pulleys. It's a perfect beach cruiser and a blast to drive with the top down. I upgraded the sound system and it totally rocks now; there's an 8" sub in the passenger footwell that gives them a nice little foot massage when the bass is going.

    And then there's my 2003 330i ZHP. If you're a Bimmer nerd you know what this car is about. Rare-ish Imola red over alcantara interior. It's sort of a four-door baby M3. Doesn't make the power of the ///M (this one only has 230hp) but feels a lot like it. This is the workhorse of the bunch.

    I'm a little jealous of the Z4M. I still have my 2003 E85 Z4, now going on 18 years and still fun to drive. I drive my 458 every chance I can so the Z4 only made it out of the garage twice in the last 12 months (annual service both times), but I just can't convince myself to let it go. Six speed manual transmission with only the 228HP engine so I have well over five seconds before I am probably over the speed limit.

    The Z4 is a great platform. Rear end is a bit twitchy but that's part of the fun. I drove a friend's Z4 3.0 and I very much enjoyed it. The steering had absolutely zero feedback which was fun in a way -- almost like driving a racing simulator. It was definitely a bit more playful and less serious than the M which I found to be part of its charm.

    Haha get in line. You're probably the 5th person to ask me that. I hope to never have to sell it. I really do think it's the ultimate M3.

    Anyone waiting on new Escalade? Seems like there’s a delay in production...

    So I just pulled the trigger on this P-Car! I'm coming out of my '18 M5 lease in June, so needed to order either an M5 Comp or this GTS now, to hope to get in time. Being that this would have been my 3rd 5 series DD in a row and wifey has an X7, it was time for a change. Plus, I priced out a M8 GC Comp and I felt it was too pricey for a BMW. I am a big Porsche guy and have had many new and still have an '84 Targa, since '11. So here she is, in all her glory! Note the lt weight package and rear wheel steering, to further enhance the GTS' potential. :)

    Just a daily drive through Pike National Forest, just three miles from my Colorado place. Now Ford has discontinued the SuperCab Raptor. No idea what they were thinking. It's a different truck entirely from the SuperCrew Raptor: softer springs, differently set up shocks - way more off road performance than the Dad Raptors, as I call them. :)

    But you can get a four-door with 37's now. :rolleyes:

    Interesting...the Alfa was not even on my radar screen. I am currently in a 2019 E63s Lease is up in 5 months, so looking for a new DD. Seems that this car should be on the short list....especially if it appears to be a dependable car? the AMG has been bullet proof...just love it any other ideas gents?

    Nice, I was entertaining the X^M
    I am in very similar situation as you, my DD '18M5 goes back in June. I was going to get a comp or M8 Comp, when I got the Porsche bug up me arse. Wifey actually planted it. I wanted something different than a "BMW", even thought the M cars are amazing. I went w/ this and grabbed one of 4 allocations in the country this past Tuesday. Stoked!!

    Very nice… I had a Panamera GTS a few years ago. Was a great car. And the exhaust was amazing
