Every time I get into a 335i loaner with an auto I get irritated, it's not as fine

I don't mind it in 328i loaners, but in the 335i it just bothers me

maybe it's just me, i dunno

I love Manuals though

what kind of track car do you have in mind?

Get an E30

6MT for the win! I just bought a transmission to swap the E46, too.

I think I'd prefer a coupe for the e30, but i'm looking forward to building the sedan

I just came up on a set of OEM BMW black floor mats from an E46 for $25, 10 minutes from my house.

CL FTW

oh, and they were brand new

So cool.

Kamil @ hirev picked that up last month.

I never liked SUV-type automobiles before this one.

I'm ok with the coupe because the rear seats are useless even if you have the extra doors, haha.

Free mats? Score!

Good to know. I want to replace the entire ratty carpet and mats in mine. That should make the interior 10x better.

Well, the carpet is starting to disintegrate a little (pretty sure it's original), so it's about time to get something a little more rugged in there.

A friend already took care of my grilles, mirrors, and wiper arms with some duplicolor. Woot!

[Zoeb@WheelDude.com]

all those panels used to be tan

ok time to get ready and head out, see you guys tomorrow!

do you have anything done to it?

Dude, I think I see way more girls in coupes. Old ladies in sedans, yes. But GIRLS in coupes more.

Just buy something that's already built with lots of spares. You don't want to spend weekends putting stuff together or pulling a head off a motor. Built spec Miatas are all over the place, and buy it with the trailer if you don't have one already. Most people will include enough spare wheels and tires, and sometimes engines too.

True, but it would REALLY REALLY suck if you wrecked your 335i on track vs just sucking if you wrecked a spec Miata race car.
