My BMW 1-series F21 M-Sport on 16' winter tires. Will post more on my 18' summer as soon as the weather allows it :/

It's my first new car and naturally I love it :)

The family wagon which is also a 05 VZ Holden commodore. Both V6's but we've had the wagon longer and I've modded it a little with custom exhaust,CAI, 25mm intake manifold spacers and lowered with satin black VX ss wheels.

I love your set up. Everything about it. Perfecto. Love the 1 series.

Don't listen to that guy going on about blacking stuff out. Chrome is tacky and doesn't belong on a car. The chrome on my car drives me crazy.

Thanks, and I wasn't listening to him anyway. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, that's fine. But I didn't build my car for him, I built it for me.

Nice little drive up to DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival. This was on the Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park on our way back to Ohio. Beautiful.

I had an 03 Infra Red 3 door SVTF. Loved that car. Had issues though. Intermittent stalling and the dealer flashed the car several times, followed TSB's, etc. Never could get it to go away. Always loved the orange, and an orange 5 door is what I test drove.

I would have bought that 5 door. Super rare as only about 50 we're made in the 5 door competition orange color. There were only 121 in the 3 door models for 2004 and last year for the SVT. Mine was the last one Ford could find within 1000 miles of the ford dealerships when I bought it new.

With the close ratio 6 speed getrag, it's a hell of a nice car to take through the mountains and canyons. Kinda under powered as it should have come turbo'd from the factory but the tuning and dual stage intake made it a drivable car with excellent handling.

I agree on the turbo/power adder. It lacks power. I would have loved to have picked that one up, but the dealer had that one listed at almost 5 grand more than the regular. I couldn't justify the price difference. Here is my old red one.

This is my "tank". Needed something I could fit 7-8 in and this is perfect. I manage to get nearly 20mpg which is great for the 6.2L engine! The magnetic suspension is a lot of fun:

And then getting a Chrysler 300 John Varvatos exactly as pictured as my daily driver soon (6-8 weeks), love the style, impressive gas mileage and features for the price:

BMW, PLEASE bring this car to the USA.
seriously. this would be the perfect car for my fiancee and I.
I've been dying to replace my car with the M135i but no luck.
BMW has no plans for a US release.

Only the 2 series is coming here to the US. What a shame. :mad:

BMWUSA really ****ed up. At first they said that they didn't want it because they thought nobody would buy it, and by the time they changed their mind it was too late because the car was already in production without US standards in place.
