By the way, if your user pic is your car...I've also liked that color for the BW and your BW is sexy. I've seen a few in that color (mainly driving on the freeway) and like the shiny and deep red color...it's sexy. I'm not a color kind of guy (mainly stick to Grey, Black, or White), but that...

Something I've noticed over the yrs is that manufactures back in the day cared less, but focused on quality of their cars. However, nowadays, manufactures care and record date, while compromising the quality of their cars. It's crazy how back then it used to be the quality of cars and now it's...

That's the thing with our modern BW's...so much software and overthinking of our ECU is involved that it creates a misreading between 12 psi and 18 psi. I can't imagine how the BW would have been if it was created around the 90s. Back then, it was so much easier to manipulate the ECU on what you...

Hahaha! every car is going to have it's pros and cons. You're right though...chief complaints being gas tank size and turning radius. These are for people that daily drive their BW though...myself included. Yes, for the 4BW...it sucks only having roughly 17 gal and about 255 mi range. Since I...

Agreed. I can picture myself being behind a 5BW and them not being able to make a u-turn when I just saw someone ahead of them that's driving a Chevy Suburban and being able to complete a simple u-turn. But I guess I'd understand coming from a BW driver lol. But, like you said, must people would...

Wow! For $2k, that's some pretty good upgrades. From 472hp to 550hp is a fair upgrade. However, I heard a fairly cheaper way to increase hp is mod-ing the fuel system, installing a flex sensor, and tuning the ECU to run Ethanol...which would then make it possible to increase stock hp by 170hp...

1Evil55: I think MookdocOE really summed up the reaction of the terrible turning radius “like wtf” hahaha. I know it’s something that’s a 5-10 sec reaction and once the turn is done, you move on. But living and commuting in LA, the turning radius can really get annoying…especially if you have...

Champale: I liked how you mentioned that the 4BW is “such an exceptional driver’s car.” My uncle tells me why I didn’t get an M3, I told him cause I felt that the 4BW was more of a “driver’s car” than the M3…to each their own. Sure the M3 is the faster car, but to me it feels less engaging than...

MookdocOE: You’re correct! The nimbleness factor of the 4BW is great. I take it to the canyons and is a blast to drive around the switchbacks. I also have the same reaction with my 4BW whenever trying to make a u-turn…same reaction being “like wtf” hahaha. Sometimes I see full size SUVs complete...

Thanks all for your replies and insights. So, for those that have a 5BW, given that the turning radius is comical and probably very annoying, how do you all live with it? lol...do you just get used to it and learn to live with it or do you regret it and maybe have wished you've gotten a 4BW? And...

@seattlecubes – Yes, I’ve driven a 5BW; only via test drive though while I was at the dealership. I do appreciate and enjoy the nimble nature of the 4BW. Wish I could test drive a 5BW for a day and take it out to the canyons to see how the cornering is and if it’s something that I can get used...

@668LT4 - I agree! I definitely would be happy with the power upgrade. So with the power upgrade and the upgrade in legroom, I'll be a happy camper. @MookdocOE - Yes, love how the BW's are 4 doors. Just adds to it's practicality. Imagine if it was a coupe like an M4...the BW's would then lose...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my 1st posting. I figured this would be a good place to post this. I've been thinking on switching from a manual 4BW to a manual 5BW. Main reason for wanting to switch is because as many of us know - the 4BW lacks legroom for the back passengers. I prefer...
