Ahaha fuck Miro, hilarious... once again.

Daily only. This is the practical car. This is the, Seb has grown out of his need to build cars stage of life.
Seb has now entered the "needs a functional car that gets from a to b, with good gas mileage and is comfortable, has AC and is actually usable."

crazy how much more enjoyable it is to ride a bike when you stop throwing sticks into your own spokes

Welcome to being an adult. It's pretty nice.

My car might be low but not disfunctionally. Comfortable, has ac, gets 21mpg. You can build something functional but still have fun. Just saying. If it wasn't rusty I wouldn't have a single issue with my car, personally. I get the use of a normal daily but my truck gets 11mpg so the bmw wins in that department.
still not 20 haha and hellrot is planned to be a more functional car.

I didn't think rolling shells had motors

when you said you were "swapping everything over" to the hellrot, i assumed that meant engine and tranny too

I got the okay from Jennifer to get a new car, she doesn't like the BMW and never has to be honest.

I've been eying B8 Audi A4 Avants for a good while. They're at a price point which is definitely affordable right now so going to try and score one.

One thing to keep in mind is that those 2.0 engines are pretty maintenance heavy. Theres currently a class action lawsuit on the timing chains stretching but oil consumption is a big issue. Most cars have been fixed, but the job involves a two step diagnosis. First step is replacing the front crank bolt, front crank seal, and pcv breather. The second fix is replacing the pistons. The wastegates on the oem turbos go bad causing you to replace the turbo, the chain stretches and will skip timing, and less often do the cylinder heads fail. If you seriously consider going that route, buy one that has been dealer maintained and have history on those things being done. Otherwise you could face some pricey repairs. Chains usually go around 75k miles. Food for thought

No point as they are both auto 2.8's. the hellrot actually has less mileage. Going to try to buy his^ manual and swap over but keep the 2.8 in it.

[Kielan]

Seb you really are a glutton for punishment huh. Lol. I'd suggest going E90 touring before getting a b8 avant.

[Quillhill36]

Also, metallic white or metallic light gold for the style5 centers? Thinking white w BMW caps or gold with red bbs caps. but I can see with the white the cleaning might be more of an issue.

right on

[Kielan]

Paint your wheels whatever you want man.

[Quillhill36]

I'm just torn, as the red and gold are a proven combo but I feel the white would offset the red a bit better. Worried about the clash between blue in the logo and red on the car.
