On the topic of convertibles I just walked by the Porsche dealer this morning and noticed they have a 911 GTS Cabriolet as part of their rental fleet....we should find out how the buffeting is on that.

I'm glad you're enjoying your new car.
However from your choice of mods.. If performance and numbers are what you're after, this may not be the best platform to build on..

Edit: oh shit he's serious about this car https://www.revscene.net/forums/717695-any-shops-aftermarket-seats-display.html

[Badhobz]

Bro why not just trade in for integra type S. probably save you money vs all the mods you’re doing

[BIC_BAWS]

While I understand (and have experienced myself) buying the lower trim / not the top sport model whether it be financial or availability reasons, I agree with Hobz. It doesn't make much sense to buy a regular car and delete some stuff to make it "lighter" lol.

At the end of the mod creep, it still won't be a luxury Si. You'll either have luxury or Si, not both. Compromised on both ends. It's tough. On the other hand, if it's just a street/stance build, whatever you're happy with bro. Anyway, go find some Civic Si seats, I'm sure those will fit great and since this is basically the same K24Z7 from the 9th gen si, there will be plenty of used parts on 9thgencivics.com or smt.

Time attack car.

[quegyboe]

For those who are asking, I bought the car primarily for the naturally aspirated 4 cyl + dual clutch combination. I know that it won't be any sort of super high performance car. My plans for the car are a cold air intake, some mild exhaust modification and maybe a ktuner. Not going crazy with it.

As for potentially buying the wrong car, I like the drive train but the size is what I am having to struggle with. I probably should have waited for a TLX with the same drive train for the extra space.

The seat issue is something I've noticed post-purchase that is a bit annoying. See that thread for more info if interested.

I haven’t driven any of the new bmws since the e90s

I’m in Montreal on business this week and they gave me a 330i rental. This g20 drives quite nice but not as connected or precise as the old e90 or e46.
The styling is great and it handles Montreal pothole ridden roads quite well. Engine is torquey but not as good as the old in-line 6. Also sounds like a tinny, cheap 4 cylinder (because it is) and it lacks emotion.
340i would be much better I presume but this is ample power for the city. The car already has 50,000kms on it and it’s holding up pretty good to this rental abuse. No squeaks, no rattles. Pleather is still good but the paint is destroyed already.

[Badhobz]

Yes the paint is really really bad. Bmw used to have some thick ass paint on the e90 and my wife’s old 128i but this new stuff is horrible. I get it’s a rental car and they don’t take care of it, and it’s black so it’s soft, but 50,000kms and there’s basically no clear coat left. Some parts of the hood already is showing peeling and primer.

The thickest paint in the world can't save it from being sanded down at the lot every other week for 2 years.

The whole space thing is annoying. I don't get how in Europe it's a mid size and great family car cause it's not. I drove a friend in my F80 and he's 6'1 and he had to push the seat all the way back and still wasn't the most comfortable. Are everyone in Europe under 6'? There's no way a 6' person would fit in the front seat with a car seat in the back.

[westopher]

Yeah that car has a sand and dirt filled brush rubbed on it every couple days. Nothing to do with the quality of paint.

People in Europe have to deal with way less room on the street and in parking spots. They are just more efficient in terms of what they're bringing and how they share space. A 3 series is considered a large car there - when I was in Italy I saw a lot of Up! and Polo and that class of car as a family car with 4 people in it.

You just squish everything in. Your legs are touching the dash. You don't manspread like you do in NA.

Much like what JDMDreams say, in Italy you also park by feel. You back up until you bump your neighbours and then go forward etc. Need a little more space? Just push the other car a little bit.

This is how they park in Rome.

Dem Germans are tall too so I don’t know how they fit in this. With two 6’ people up front it turns into a two seater. My sportwagen was packaged better and had way more leg room in the back. I can almost sit behind myself (knees would be in the back of the front seat, but it’s doable for short runs)

I recall sitting in a 2017 5 series and not being impressed with the rear leg room. Almost had the same problem as the sportwagen.

[asian_XL]

the mazda will look even better with one size up on the wheels, but that's personal perference, it is hot.

[dark0821]

^Interesting, I would say the current size on the Mazda3 is perfection.

Unless he is doing camber and hella flush style (which is not really my cup of tea anymore, hahahaha), then maybe he can do 1 size bigger lolol

You want some tire on it, like the FK8 IMO look the best with 18s, slightly worse on 19s, but pls no stock 20s, or change to another set of 20s lololol

I dont even like the rubber bands on exotics, I get the stiffer/smaller side wall and rim is lighter than tire argument, but yea...

Turo Whip for the day when I went to LA last week

[roastpuff]

Why would you say it's not worth it? Did you get to drive it in any canyons?

[Traum]

Is the newer boxster worth buying? I rented the 987.2 last time when I was LA and it was not worth it lol.
The 987 and 981 generations really excelled in 2 areas:

- handling
- high rpm performance

In a typical street setting, it isn't a super powerful car that can give you an adrenalin rush. To enjoy it for what it is, you really need to put it in the right setting where it can shine.

The latest generation with the turbo 4's are quite different. There is still not much torque below the 2.5 - 3k rpm range before the turbo spools up, but once you get that turbo spooling, it pulls very nicely all the way up to redline in the way you'd expect a 300 - 350hp car would. In that sense, that much stronger torque makes it a lot more usable and a lot more fun in everyday situations.

I haven't driven the newest gen car with the NA flat 6, so I can't give you any first hand description of what the car is like. According to other people, the midrange torque isn't as strong as the turbo 2.5L, but it has a much nicer high end. I hope I'd be able to get behind the wheel of one to see for myself.

In typical bmw fashion this 3 series broke lawl (not serious, just a puncture on the front driver side tire). Avis road side assistance told me 5+ hours wait due to Montreal’s crazy freezing rain event this week so they suggested I just drive on it. I said that’s nuts (they are using some chinese snow tire brand called far road ?!?!? And I don’t think they are runflats ) so I replaced it this morning with another bmw.

530xi.

Not bad, but it feels exactly the same thing as the 330i. It’s only a tad bit larger but the interior and driving experience is identical.
The rear seats are actually usable but otherwise nothing special. Gauge cluster is cool though, got this torque and Hp indicator. This sucker had 400ftlbs of torque ! And 320hp.

Not bad, but I don’t think it’s worth the extra 10-20k over the 330i.

That area around Schwartz is kinda scummy. Not surprised all the wackos are there.
Also the average Montreal car is a pos versa or a Yaris. I guess with their roads and winter weather, it just kills the cars so it doesnt make any sense to drive a luxury car.

^ Other than typical VC leaks, I know the VQ's are pretty reliable! Higher mileage ones will burn oil, so just have to watch out for that. I find these cars, along with 350z's, very easy to work on as well.

Most of them end up in the hands of Surrey teenagers & are completely rat-bagged by now. Would be worth waiting for a cared-for example.

Look up "headlight dust caps" on Amazon, eBay or Retrofit parts sites. They have them specifically for people hacking up the OE assemblies but I'm sure you could find something as a replacement you'll just need to get some measurements.

the OE RAYS Wheels on the Black edition / Spec V are very very similar to the TE's.

If I can find another full set of early black edition wheels, I will run a square rear wheel set up on that wheel for street use (the silver lip version, late versions are full super dark mag blue)

As for the spare fronts... maybe ill find a later model Stagea and mount the four fronts on a stagea.
i like your style... buy spare wheels then buy spare car for spare wheels :awwyeah:

[donk.]

On the topic of "overpaying" for a used car

I was out with my friend a few days ago, he bought a Subaru Outback two years ago, supposably they were 28k new back then.
He has put on 18,000kms on it, and told me he could sell it for over 30k, I called bullshit

Looked up outbacks on CL, and sure enough, a 2018 with 30,000kms are going for 32k, 2020s with 50kms going for 36k

Talk about a win buying a new car, this will probably be the only time in history you buy a "regular" car, drive it for two years, and it goes up in price

No one is gonna show up with $40k cash to buy a car without getting it inspected first

Years ago my friend won a Toyota FJ and decided to sell it. The buyer met them at the Petro Canada at Victoria and 49th to check out the car and literally had a garbage bag of cash on him (I think it was worth around $35k). My friend insisted on going over to the bank to have it counted.

[tofu1413]

anything over 10g of cash, you'd have to fill out forms with CRA.

at least on the dealer level.


The real boss transaction I had was a fellow wiring money on his notebook to us on the spot. Funds received by end of the day too.

[The Producer]

none of the dealers I sat in front of in the fall wanted cash offers anyways. any deals to be had would involve their financing kickbacks.

i could see them drawing up little 4 squares in their minds.

once that was off the table it was pretty much asking price only.

cash is dead - rent everything and skim a little off the top each time.

Was this always the case or was that recent? I recall people buying with cash all the time back in the days.

[GIZZ]

I never had an issue paying cash until 2007 with my denali. I gave the seller cash at the bank, bank manager Karen made a scene. I told her to pull up my account, I had nothing to hide.

I sold an nsx for USD cash back when dollar was par, and my street/strip suv for cash not long ago. But I don't deposit it all in one shot, not giving anybody a reason to question me.

You have to watch out on personal e transfers, even tho you get the notification of funds sent they can still cancel on you the same day. I'm not an expert on this, I don't use it with strangers.

[Simplex123]

You have to watch out on personal e transfers, even tho you get the notification of funds sent they can still cancel on you the same day. I'm not an expert on this, I don't use it with strangers.

There's two different emails you would receive depending on if you have autodeposit set up. If you don't have autodeposit, it will ask you where you want to deposit it. If you do, you'll receive one saying that it has automatically been deposited into your account.

To my knowledge if you get the latter email, there's no way to cancel it as it has already reached your account. In general, when dealing with e-transfers on FB Marketplace (non-car related), I only deal with people banking with RBC/TD because their transfers go through the second after you click send. Whereas other banks take 30-40 mins to go through - giving the buyer a chance to cancel it still.

[68style]

^ I don't have a link, but there was stories of how banks were pulling completed e-transfers too... and that it depends very much which bank, they all have different rules.

[Simplex123]

^ I don't have a link, but there was stories of how banks were pulling completed e-transfers too... and that it depends very much which bank, they all have different rules.

I just found this one: https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/etransfers-autodeposit-cancelled-scam-interac-1.6764431

What I mentioned still stands.

She saw that he sent it to her and saw the confirmation from his phone. It doesn't mean the bank pulled it out of her account because it had yet to be deposited into her account. Because of the delay it takes banks (other than RBC/TD) to process e-transfers, he probably went ahead and canceled it when he got back in the car.

I feel e-transfer is still safer than cash as long as the seller banks with RBC/TD and that you have autodeposit set up.

[westopher]

I just go to the bank with the person. To be perfectly honest I haven't sold or bought many cars, and the only big dollar car was the e30, but I sure as shit am not risking having over 10k in cash on me as a buyer or seller.

9.8L/100km in sport transmission, but ACC the entire way. Did a 84km drive just now, I guess the car doesn't count short stops as a stop. I did a few pulls and then just set eco mode + ACC and it averages 11.8L/100km.

Relatively, the FK8 does around 7.5L/100KM when I'm behaving. And when I have a heavy foot and do pulls, it's around mid to high 9s.

Can you tell us what ACC does? Does it just lane keep and radar cruise for you? Down to 0km? Auto pull away? And does it bounce, ping pong in the lane like Toyota's.

[JDMDreams]

Also it is awd, compared to fwd so it must be worse on gas. I wonder if the awd is permanent or fwd until it slips?

[BIC_BAWS]

Can you tell us what ACC does? Does it just lane keep and radar cruise for you? Down to 0km? Auto pull away? And does it bounce, ping pong in the lane like Toyota's.Correct. Radar cruise + lane keep. It doesn't ping pong as much as a Toyota. But it can be fine tuned via VAGCOMM. It goes down to 0, but no auto pull away. I haven't figured out if I just tap the gas or just press the RES(ume) button. I'll edit the reply later today.

Correct. Radar cruise + lane keep. It doesn't ping pong as much as a Toyota. But it can be fine tuned via VAGCOMM. It goes down to 0, but no auto pull away. I haven't figured out if I just tap the gas or just press the RES(ume) button. I'll edit the reply later today.

you just have to tap the gas

EDIT: the other thing you were talking about was following distance. I assume you have adjusted it. If not - pressing the central ACC button will change the distance. Still might not go to where you want though.

[roastpuff]

I think it's just your driving habits - you can get the Golf R to match the FK8 in terms of fuel economy since that 7th gear is so tall. Keep it in D mode and normal and you'll see that fuel economy number go down.

[trollface]

I swear to god I can't catch a fucking break. I just went to look at one and the only sales person there was newer than grass and understands every 3rd word I say.

Car has a not "Not ready for sale" sign on it, so I ask them if it's done inspection and recon, they say yes the sign is old. Ask to see the inspection and it's "not there", but you better buy it because someone will.

Fuck sakes.

[Badhobz]

Dude then ask for a different sales associate. Take life by the balls and do what you need to do.

[BIC_BAWS]

EDIT: the other thing you were talking about was following distance. I assume you have adjusted it. If not - pressing the central ACC button will change the distance. Still might not go to where you want though.I'll try that later today, thanks! I like how the car is smart enough to avoid going to full stop. It accounts for enough space to roll at 10km/hr even if the cars ahead are momentarily at full stop.

I've adjusted the following distance to the minimum but it's still enough space for someone to cut me off. ACC was great today with an accident on the bridge because no one is gonna cut me off LOL.

I find that the car doesn't accelerate fast enough to meet to set following distance, but I just press on the accelerator to solve that. It also slows down too early, but again I'll just add gas a little to account for it.

Buy a Golf R. It will solve all your life problems.

Finally got some time off and had some good weather so I took the R8 to gold river.

The car got wet because of this bad boy. It was spraying mist onto the road.

[roverT]

Relatively, the FK8 does around 7.5L/100KM when I'm behaving. And when I have a heavy foot and do pulls, it's around mid to high 9s.

[Gerbs]

damn the 335d is insane on gas

[whitev70r]

^apparentely the 328d is even better (understandably a lot less power) but it comes with a 8 speed auto transmission.

[The Producer]

i've never heard anybody say that it is better.

the ZF auto trans in the 335i is plenty stout and the M57 is a monster w some bolt ons (and bolt offs!) and a tune/trans tune. absolute M3 killer.

335d guys absolutely love those things. if it worked for my needs I'd have one.

[whitev70r]

i've never heard anybody say that it is better.


This from BMW forum, some who have owned or driven both

https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/anyone-moved-to-a-328d-after-a-335d.765713/#post-8280693

[The Producer]

i see what you're saying. did you ninja edit in the understandably a lot less power part? if not, I apologize and I totally missed it.

from a performance stand point. the m57 is a monster compared w the 2L in the f30. Simpler systems, less emissions shit. for making power, it's much better.

if you were buying strictly for mpg and long hauls, the F30 would of course be a better car for that (and the F31 wagon even more so). That 8 speed has been praised in every car it's ever been put in (which is a lot)

(i have driven both)

Come on by and say hi / hang out.

Proper meet etiquette applies or else I will personally stomp your ass and kick you onto the curb.

Who else is coming? I'll be there, gotta wash the car tonight. :concentrate:

[Gerbs]

Is the power delivery in the 335id as satisfying as a gas powered 335i?

I've sat/drove a A7 Diesel and it was lame lol.

[BIC_BAWS]

@Gerbs - you should arrange a ride along.. maybe ask to ride along in the 535d lul

[westopher]

Who else is coming? I'll be there, gotta wash the car tonight. :concentrate:
Fuck I guess I'm moving the car seat to the e36 tonight. It's such a goddamn hassle but that sounds like a nice solo dad outing tomorrow.

The mclarens will be all lined up and parked in a line.

I’ll be directing the parking. Probably just stash the euros in section at first and JDMs in another.

After that it’s free for all once it’s more filled.

See you guys in the morning and looking forward to finally meet you Hobs!

[radeonboy]

Somehow I managed to get up so I’ll stop by. I’ll look for the Ratrolla when I get there :lol

[Badhobz]

Thanks for the invite tofu. Great seeing all you sexy beasts.

That wrx is quite handsome. It’s probably the most decent looking one since the original Impreza RS one. The black blends in all the plastic cladding so I get your color choice.

Led by me and my fearsome Hawaiian shirt! :gay::lol:lol

That was a good turnout. More people checked my car out than I thought. My sun-baked brain didn't realize I was talking to Producer at first :derp:

It was great meeting you all in person. Maybe I'll bring my van next time.

The drive home was busy but lots of eye candy while waiting at the red lights :ifyouknow:

Badhobz: I ended up talking with the owner of that Toyota Avalon that we saw pull in. He was in his early 20s and a huge fan of early JDM sedans. We ended up talking for around 30 minutes. His Avalon was fully loaded including the White Diamond paint (colour shifting). Very nice car despite the usual scuffs and scratches.

I forgot I brought my camera with me so I got the car washed and found a decent location to snap some photos.

EDIT: You can see the factory tint on these windows. Not sure how it's applied but Lord help me if I have to replace any glass on this car.

You sure that young buck wasn’t troll face !?!? He’s hiding in da bushes again.

It was very nice to put some faces to your usernames. Such a great community of like minded enthusiasts.

A lot different than the RS of yester years where burnouts, fist fights and drag races were the norm. RS grew up and now we arrive to fancy car shows at 8am on a Saturday. Who would have thought this 20 years ago.

Pass the grey poupon motherfuckers

Is the power delivery in the 335d as satisfying as a gas powered 335i?

I've sat/drove a A7 Diesel and it was lame lol.

I didn’t get to experience the stock version of my car since it was slightly broken when I bought it. Within a couple months it was being deleted and tuned. But I think the I-6 configuration keep it lively enough and smooth. The torque is satisfying the most because that’s what you use in the city. The HP while it’s reasonably high, won’t be as exciting as a petrol because of different redlines. The D will get the job done without fuss and do it over and over again. The petrol will add drama since motor is screaming. Recently I’ve had a couple run-ins with an F95 X5M competition and have no problem staying with him. Same as a second gen TT-RS. Good enough for me at least. Without spending thousands of buckerooos. LOL


@Gerbs - you should arrange a ride along.. maybe ask to ride along in the 535d lul

And that was only stock. One day I’ll get it tuned but it’s so good as it is matched with ZF8.

Where are these meats.

Any meats in Richmond? I wanna go to a few this year.

[JDMDreams]

Market crossing has been pretty lit lately on Fridays, Richmond is kinda far, not sure if they still do chat time on Thursday, but it's also on a Thursday

[trollface]

The Chatime one just looks like a BMW dealership.

[Badhobz]

chat time has a meat? when? who puts these on?

When is the official RS one!?!??! last time we had an official one was at tsawwassen mills

Aw hell naw that's too far.

I'm going to insure my Datsun and Camry. If you see a Red Datsun or Gray Carmy, give me the finger so I know it's you.

Man I always want to go to one of these cars and coffee but I'm not boomer enough to be up and arrive at 8 am on a weekend.

There's 3 ways to get up early:

1. Use an alarm clock
2. Keep your blinds open and let the early daylight wake you up
*3. Eat a lot of Taco Bell the night before

*Number 3 always works.
