25 g for around 21000 miles. That's the starting price. What would be a fair price, I have no clue. Anyways gotta make sure is stock first or close enough to convert back.

I don't drive aggressively on the street, I don't plan on going to the track. Only a poop load of Autocross, and usually if I activate the ABS on my M3 while autocrossing the run is toast anyways (braking too hard cause too late)

1. Better weight distribution F:R
2. Ability to send more torque to the rear using DCCD
3. Better low end torque due to 2.5L engine
4. Better travel with the rear suspension
As far as the RS having a premium, that shouldn't be the case as it isn't that much lighter than the base GSR or SE model, its a 55lb difference in a 3200+lb car. When you look at what you give up eg: ABS, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, etc, its not worth it (at least to me) ...

Perhaps... but I've always thought that was due to the fact that no one with lots of commitment and really high skill has ever fully prepped and run the car extensively.
Anyone as good as J Roberts in the STi camp ever campaigned an AS Evo?
