Those are pretty quick once tuned and modded. I’m a fan IF it was not a vert. Congrats and have fun with the maintenance cost lol.

I hear BMW labor is now $225 an hour. Have fun with that.

I wonder if people will be giving him thumbs up while he's out driving around.

Yup. It is around that. My good friend is a master tech for BMW. He said they’re a pain to work on and electrical nightmares. I’ll never buy euro cars again. So damn expensive for maintenance.

The E90 V8 M3 were the last real great driving machines. The new F80 M3/M4 are too electronic and have no driving feel. Maybe he'll be back in a 6th gen

First I only posted to say thanks for all the information and tips I got on the forum. For the most part everyone I had communication with was very helpful and nice. I used the forum countless times and it was great. Maybe I should not have posted anything?

Second the maintenance is fairly easy and its certified with a full bumper to bumper warranty till 5 yrs or 100k miles from now, and since I'll only put on 2-3k miles per year so not that concerned not sure why you all are?

Third compared to my 2011 Camaro its like going into the future 25 yrs not 4. Its much faster, sounds better, handles better, quicker off the line, more customizable to how you want it to ride, and it feels like a luxury car on the inside. Much of the comments really come across as jealous. Don't be such haters.

But no sweat on my back! And yes my wife likes it much more, that's not a bad thing.

My main reason for switching was to have something a little different to change it up a bit. This does that completely. My Camaro was great and I enjoyed it but this is a totally different experience.

Good luck everyone, stay safe!

I wish you the best of luck man. I thin they are awesome cars and definitely perform, but maintenance and repair costs, as well as reliability are just too far out there for me. If you have the means, then go for it.

As for your sold Camaro? I take solace in the fact that someone else will get to experience a low milage, well taken care of specimen and become part of the Camaro community. The automotive circle of life.

Once again, best of luck man. Drive the hell out of that thing!

Very nice! Always liked the BMW's. I'm keeping the Camaro....but I really want to try a Land-rover Velar or maybe Cadillac CT5 (tt V6 and Bose premium sound a must). Wanna see how the luxury side lives..

Jealous? Thats the BMW owner coming out in you. Dont confuse getting the gears from Camaro5 members as jealousy. Its the same response when a member flips to a Mustang. If I wanted a BMW I would just buy one....dont act like you have a car that people cant afford. Jealous? Haha...i guess thats what the M3 driver must have thought I was when he tried to flex on me at the light in Mexico.He did the left hand turn of shame after I flexed a little more.
