If you could make your own car...

If you can't have the M3, it's the 325i you need or at least the 320i. Everything else shouldn't be considered.

So, the straight six strikes again.

[pimento]

You forgot the 323i.

[Ferrer]

I thought it wasn't available in the E30.

Nevermind, let's include it as well.

[pimento]

Oh, it mos def was.. I had one! It was the top spec before the 325i came along.

The electric car will most likely have the future - for now, I'd say gasoline cars are still ruling the roost.

Not that I think your choice is stupid - I am just saying I understand why many chose the way they did.

Haha. Thank you, I'd not seen that one before.

Tesla does tend to get pretty touchy over their car, especially its range. I can't find the article but another magazine/blog made a trip to Laguna Seca for a track day and documented what it took, and how long they actually got to stay on the track after all that trouble. Tesla was not amused.
