Me 3. Big time. Find me one with under 150k miles for $15k or less, and I'm on that motherberkeleyer like stink on E36 M3.

All the cool kids DRIFT in their BMWs. You could be one of them.

EDIT:

Speak of me kindly...and often:

1. CTS-V 2. 540i6 3. M5 4. M3 Reasoning - CTS-V is an M5 without the BMW BullE36 M3 tax. Cooling systems don't blow up, pixels don't randomly die, etc. BMW's, for all of the good they have in the driving department, are kind of pieces of E36 M3. That's why the GM beats all the bimmers for me. Now, if you're going to go with a BMW, then I still rank them by the amount of bullE36 M3 you deal with. The 540i6 is most of the good of the M5 without most of the bullE36 M3. Yeah, your power steering is still going to leak, and yeah, it's still got a water cooled alternator, but at least there is no Vanos to E36 M3 on you nor ITB bullE36 M3 to deal with when you have to replace the VC gaskets. M5 beats M3 because you said you were tired of toys, you wanted a Q-ship.

This is why I like lexus, IS/GS/LS, rock solid to stupid mileage with most of what you'd like about BMWs.

Cute. I was thinking more along the lines of:

When will people learn the difference between v1 and v2's?

Somebody please insert face plant meme....

Lexus = Automatic = He might as well get that Clubman if he's gonna go with a car that has a tampon dispenser.

Pretty well sold on the CTS-Vizzle. Any particular maintenance stuff/issues I should be looking for a record of at ~120k?

Wayne cyber-stalked the dude with the black one last night. Looks from his "business website" (friggin facebook page) like he works for Mazda selling cars and flips stuff on the side or something. Might be a little shady...or it might be his personal car.

There's another good looking one on CL in Kentucky, and that's about it (there are a bunch of others, but they're either out of my price range or shady looking.) One in KY has no price listed.

Carfax shows it was originally sold in Jew Jersey, then went to PA, then to Maryland, then to GA. Maintenance records look good, until the new owner; no record, of course, I'm guessing he didn't waste money having it serviced at the dealer.

We were sorta shopping for similar cars. If my price range was a bit higher the Caddy would be a top contender. Although it does have a lot of flat edges.

That car has good upgrades but seems pricey. Also dislike how much it's moved around. Sounds like an auction queen. I would pass.

You can completely do a fly and drive! Here's one near by

Holy E36 M3 that mutha had brimbos break pads. Shyeeeeeeet. Better buy it before the DEA discovers the 2lbs of columbian white under the back seat and the midget hooker in the trunk.

In reply to Fueled by Caffeine:

"2lbs of columbian white under the back seat and the midget hooker in the trunk."

Sounds like a bonus, the hooker isn't even dead!

Been looking at that one. Dunno if I can get over the silver vs. black.

I have a real bad hankering for this one on CL. It may not be that bad of a repair if you know how.
