A. its a 3 series (the poor mans bmw) B. its a bmw (they aren't known for supercar making... just luxury sports cars) C. its a convertible (not only that, it is a hardtop convertible so even extra weight)

If you ask me, 5.1s is very respectable. The $175,000 price tag is what worries me.

It's not acutally a car for "poor man". The price is around 70,000 Euro.

the car will be about 70grand usd, i have my sources not supposed to be for a poor man, u take it too literally its for those who want an m6 conv but can't afford it, so this is just a step down also that 5.1 (mfr claim) sec is also off, its really 4.8 or so

oh god, another account? How many have you made so far? It seems that the more you make the worse your regard for the English language gets.

Man this thing is getting a little pricey for its britches....5.1 0-60 time is a little unimpressive for how much you are paying for. That M badge is a nice sticker but not worth the extra 20+ g's you have to throw up

i think 70k usd is allitle much for this car, but that v8 sounds great and the way that top folds is just cool. i wish it did have abit better performance for the money though. but if i were to buy one i would go with a coupe in silver or black, but if i did have an extra 70 or 80k lying around i'd probably buy a new nissan GTR, bang for the buck deal.
