Intro time: I've been in the euro world forever but have always loved muscle cars. I've been tracking and racing BMWs for 11 years.
I'm looking for a daily (I say daily but it's more like 5-6k miles a year) that I can take to my bucket list tracks, throw out the spare and go run all weekend. I'm not going to mod (that slippery slope ends you up with a racecar, I know). I'm considering the Boss and the E9x M3, of course.
I've seen all the reviews. I think its a no-brainer, but I grew up in Detroit in the mid-late 80s and admit to still having a bit of "American cars are crap" fear.
So, I searched but didn't find a good "buyers guide" thread and was hoping to get some input on what to look for when buying these cars. Sounds like the only real options are Recaro/Torsen or no. Any others I should know about? How about things to look for during a test drive and PPI?
Thanks guys!
