Mark80 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Wondering who the car people are around here and what cool cars people have. Last week I bought a 2018 BMW M240xi and it is nothing short of amazing. 0-60 in 4.2 stock. I will eventually get a performance tune and probably upgrade the exhaust, but I don't need to do anything yet because it is so fast already. So, when I'm starting to get bored, then I'll bump it up. This car just begs to be driven fast and it's so smooth and small enough to be quite nimble. By far the best car I have owned yet and one of the fastest I have ever been in. The fastest? An Ariel Atom, and nothing is even close. Now that thing will scare the crap out of you if driven right! I'll post a pic after I get the windows tinted tomorrow. So what you got?

Buffalo_Gal Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Mine is a favorite with the drug dealers (supercharged for fast getaways), so ummm super cool - especially with the doggie seat in the back. P.S. this is my favorite vehicle that I have ever owned. I'd buy it again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
