Picture of Your Car (2009)

[SubaruNation555]

Here's an updated pic of my faithful ride...

New rims and tires should be on this week then it goes away for a few weeks for a much needed heart transplant: Ver-7 STI engine

Love the white and gold! What wheels/tires are you getting? Where is the swap getting done?

 

[quagmire]

Real Evo drivers live their lives 1/4 mile at a time...

But, isn't the whole point of an Evo is their handling capability?

Pictures from tonight:

^ Beautiful.

^ Beautiful.

in concur! not much of a BMW fan myself, but those pictures are amazing.

 

[hatehereyes]

^ Beautiful.

Totally Agree.

An M3 has always been one of my dream cars.

Sold the beast, copped a new whip. Who needs a V8 when you can bounce the 8k redline on an i6 and make more ponies.

Just curious, what V8 [worth mentioning] are you making more ponies than?

The m62TU v8 in my 540i made around 290 crank hp. The s54 i6 in my m3 makes around 330.

One more perhaps?

My dream car...

 

[upsguy27]

My car, a white 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer. Best car ever.

The ZR1 is forced induction, though it is a supercharger instead of turbo's.

There is also the Corvette Callaway with a S/C V8.

I'd rather have a ZR1 after Lingenfelter did his thing with it.

Not a Maserati?

Ah, I thought you were comparing it to other V8s, not just BMWs. What year is yours? From what I can tell, it's between an 01 and early 03.
Beautiful car. One of the guys I used to work with has a supercharged E36 M3, over 400hp. I love the 3-series, back to when my dad had a beautiful 83 or 85 320 coupe, and a black/red 325i convertible 5spd after that.

Some guy in my area has a new M5 with an exhaust system on it, it sounds like a bag of ass. I keep thinking a ricer is nearby until I see his car. It makes me sad in pants

Do you live your life by magazine 0-60 quotes? If that's the case then I guess you think .6s is worth looking trashy in an evo.

I'm sorry, did I blow your theory with a few facts? Have you even driven both cars?

Don't worry about him. He is one of those people who gives BMW drivers bad names and rely on the image the badge gives him. Both cars are great vehicles. I prefer the 135i over the Evo, but doesn't mean the Evo is a horrible car.

And US mags have gotten the 135i 0-60 in the 4.6-4.8 0-60 time. Just a friendly FYI. But, given the money I would save up a bit more and grab the Corvette Grand Sport.

Indeed, both are great cars. Didn't really have chance to open up the 135i but it is a great car. Depends what you're after I suppose, but I wouldn't dismiss either, but personally it's the Evo, as tuning parts are more readily available

True as the Evo has been out longer, but there are tunes out there for the N54 that gives it a good power boost. There are 335i's out there with 400 HP with a simple tune.

Nice! It's definitely got good tuning potential, was chatting to a mate of mine in Germany who's uncle has a 335 and there's a few companies over there tuning them. We're a bit behind in the UK though

 

[Chase R]

In your opinion anyway. Let's take an Evo IX as an example. They're pretty nice inside, with enough luxury for most.
Evo IX FQ300 0-60mph in 4.5s
BWW 135i M Sport 0-60mph in 5.1s
So Evo IX > 135i

You've got to be kidding if you think that the Evo has a nice interior. Just look at your stereo... it looks like something from the 80s. Sorry, but the interior in the Evo is pretty bleek.

My car (Fiat 500) and my dad's

The Fiat 500 is a great car.......my girlfriend just got hers - Lightblue, diesel, sunroof etc.
We just drove from Copenhagen (Denmark) to Stuttgart, about 3000km in all

 

[Tracebuzta]

Here is my car - 2008 Audi TT Roadster.

Yes I have driven both cars and I own a wrx. Simply put, I'm tired of driving a tin can and I'm sure that an evo is more of a tin can than a wrx.

I'm not relying on the image, I drive a wrx and I know that it is a piece of crap. And I know that an evo is built to be even shitier than a wrx. My wrx with 30k miles has no luxury, rattles, and shakes like a mother****er when it idles. I also know that my sister drives an x5 with a 140,000k on it and it drives like new despite the fact it hasn't had any basic maintenance let alone an oil change in the last 40k miles.

After owning my car I would never again buy another tin can boy racer. Seriously, what's the point when for a few thousand more you can buy a 135 with 6 pot brakes, an "m-tuned suspension" and an insane amount of tuning potential.

Cheap cars are cheap. Who would have thunk it?

You don't get it. A cheap car doesn't have to be cheap:

A BMW 135 starts at $35k while an evo mr starts at $37k.
