I will check in from time to time to see what is going on in Camaro world.

My '13 SS was my first car.

Initial impressions of the M3 are........OMGGGG THIS THING IS AMAZINGGGGG.

There is one flaw. It has ruined the impression I had in my head on how good my Camaro was, how good my first car is. This is not me leaving the Camaro camp and bashing it as soon as I leave. It is genuine sadness.

Who is Farwell?

THIS!!!!!!! my first year with my E38 was a honeymoon,I spent nothing on it for maintenance... but it was because I bought a two-owner, BMW CPO, well maintained car and paid premium $$$ for it... it was the next three years of driving it without warranty that cost me about $2k a year. Lesson learned.

I love my SS, and other than a couple minor electronic glitches that were easily corrected without any "Stealership" involvement (fingers crossed in the future, as warranty is now out) it has been completely problem-free... Perma-grin!

Nice! Love the black GFX with the black rally stripes. Sweet.

Is this lowered? The wheels look like 2016 wheels...

OK, let's see now.......I've owned three 5 series, five 3 series and an 850i. Does that qualify in your book?

How many years before you can write at the level of a third grader?

I sold mine for $3k more than I paid for it, a year later. I think you all just picked the wrong model.

Are you serious. Break My Wallet, world known saying.

Is everyone hating because its a BMW or because he traded out of a Camaro? Just curious. I do agree; BMWs seem to love maintenance/repair after 50,000 miles or so. I always see A/C issues, oil leaks, transmission issues(auto), and the tires seem to wear quickly. This is all in my experience. As far as Euro cars go, nothing beats repair like a Volkswagen. Those things break for ANYTHING! The first time those break down its new home is the nearest shop/dealer. OP, this is your hard earned money so enjoy the car. Congratulations!

Now if I had to pick another car besides a Mustang, Camaro or Challenger, I'd go with a C63 AMG (if I had the money of course). Now I don't like the body style of the C63 AMG unless it has the spoiler attached like the one in the video here, but the SOUND is amazing in person.

Shorter 2" Primary headers shorter in length and cost $3000. Maybe this would be a good Idea for our headers, shorter 2" primary headers I mean not the price LOL. Honestly My cam LS3 sometimes feel like it could use 2" headers.

You definitely know what I'm talking about. I still own a 5 series and a X5. All great to drive. I envy your 850i experience.
