Alright Noize, tell me what kind of deal you got on it. You can PM me if you want to keep it private. Thanks!

28k for my car back to stock ($30,400 allowed when you consider tax credit- hence why I traded it in.) Car stickered at $40,100. I got $1500 off that and put an additional $2500 down to keep my payment sane.

Are you thinking of jumping ship also?

My reasons for an Evo X instead of a BMW… Three reasons actually, Mortgage, Tuition, 401K. At age 52 I just smile everytime a 30 year old writes he’s too old for the Evo.

Cool! Hope I feel the same way you do when I hit 52.

Noize, congrats on the car! I really like the looks of it from the rear. That's a pretty sharp interior/exterior color combo. Hopefully, this appeases the wifey.

Yeah, I got some grass on my driver floormat. Need to vacuum it already right there.
I'd love to knock you but that is the perfect color combination. I hope you enjoy it. I really need to drive one!

i dont get the 135i.
How much lighter is actually then the 335i?
I dont know maybe just me but if it's really needs to be a BMW and cheaper then M3 ,
then i would pick the 335i.
I just cant used to, how the 135 looks. Sorry.

its 250 lbs lighter
its cool, alot of people dont get the 1er. i love it because its a small, nimble sport coupe and an absolute rocket

theres been plenty of 335 vs 135 arguements but in the end its whatever fits you
the 335 just seemed like a boat to me

Cool EVO X GSR vs E90/E92 M3
What does it take to beat an M3 in 0-60mph and 1/4 miles?

How would an Evo X GSR compared to an M3 on the track?

anyone test drove/own both here?

The X will need some mods powerwise for sure. some bolt ons and a tune should be good enough to hang from a standing start.
