I still consider myself an Audi guy though I've only had one Audi and both loved it (very much) and hated it (very much at times....due to its non-reliability issues). There has always been much to like and admire about Audis starting way back...though reliability has been an issue and not just...

I'm a big believer in seat belts (and have come around on air bags after first - a long time ago - being a skeptic). I wear belts 100% in all cars now. But it wasn't always that way. Up until maybe 5-10 years ago I wouldn't wear my belts in our old classic Mustang. My wife constantly berated me...

I hope its not an issue but I do have some trans clunkiness when its cold out. Though today I let the car heat up a bit before driving it and there was no hint of the problem...though the 2nd gear shift was still just a bit stiff.

maxm50 I think you got it completely 100% right. Its pretty much how I feel about the 4 V BW after 1 year & 10K miles of ownership. It checks all the boxes....comfort and quality and great handling and performance. Like you it seems - I prefer smaller nimble cars....and before I bought the BW...

Both my boys are good drivers (with excellent driving habits WRT turn signals and all the rest)....though had my doubts during the learning phase. What amazes me is their general adherence to speed limits and such...particularly as they've spent much time in a car with me (and were always...

I've left mine on but not without serious consideration to disable. I have concerns but maybe it will save a life or damage and liability one day who knows. I'm a pretty attentive driver and don't think the feature will ever engage (for a good reason). Hopefully it will never be an issue.

Best of luck! But I'm not selling mine. I like your cars BTW - my kind of car enthusiast. I also still own a 2004 BMW ZHP (MT of course) and absolutely love driving that car. Its a very interesting contrast to the CT 4 V BW. Both are similar in size but quite different in feel and character. In...

Thats great! Good for her (and you). You've taught her right. Both my boys currently drive MT vehicles and even their prior cars were all MT. They fully understand and appreciate the joy of driving manual. And both have taught friends of theirs how to drive MT (as their folks either didn't know...

Thats a shame....oh well....

Kudos to all the makes still offering MT. I really like to see the Subaru/Toyota guys (and gals?) taking MT in the BRZ/86....meant to be. And I'm glad VW still offers them in the GTI/Type R....unlike Audi (which is now dead to me)....lol

I'm too a big fan of that car...but FWD I'm generally not a big fan of. I've probably watched all of Zygrene's track and upgrade videos with his Integra S and enjoy the hell out of his driving with that thing. I also watch most of his vids though think he should give the 4 V BW another run - he...

I'm very impressed with the Tremec in the 4 BW - perfect for that car IMO. But I've pretty much liked all the manuals I've ever had in my cars - to varying degrees - all not perfect. These have been exclusively from German or Japanese makes (and nothing recent other then the BW). Of course I...

I'm not poor but I'm certainly not rich either (like some of you here obviously...lol). But I've long been a car enthusiast and driver who enjoys performance and I've always bought and owned cars that to me fit the bill without breaking the bank as it were. I think most would say I've owned some...

I have the oversize MAF & ported throttle body. I've only gotten the code once - shortly after install. It was summertime but a cold rain came in and I stopped for gas then restarted right away as the pump was out of service. Got the code. Cleared it a few days later and its never come back even...

Oh and almost forgot - beating my work colleagues from DC to Knoxville TN where we all left a morning meeting at the same time....i drove....they flew...and I was finishing checking into our hotel when they walked in the front door....epic...

The many miles of joy I had with that car oh my. The many years of pain due to unreliability....argh. It spent nearly 2 years sidelined with a blown bottom end that resulted in blown...well nearly everything - after a botched bottom end repair. I won a court settlement but was never able to...

E39 M5 (great car) was always too big and $$$ for me at the time....I'm very happy with my ZHP. I considered an E46 M3 at the time but I did a Euro delivery and BMW wasn't giving the 7% discount. I bought the ZHP new for $33K which was a great deal. ZHP is plenty quick and its still a very...

Its funny, both of my neighbors who each bought one of my prior cars at one time recently each owned exactly 17 cars - really exactly 17. They drive a bunch of them (like you said for different purposes) but many are race (autocross) cars and/or project cars. One had 2 1st gen NSXs (non...

I've long had the suspicion that the RS6 is exactly as you describe it - regardless of performance specs. Shame. My (MT) B5 S4 Avant was anything but boring. Reviews from the time suggested it wasn't an engaging car - they were so wrong. Of course when I bought mine used it was already Stage 2...

I agree with all and appreciate you. I respect and appreciate the Camaros but never considered one - visibility and size issues mainly and my wife is adverse to two door cars. Your E36 is super sweet BTW. My youngest son has a pretty tricked out 1st gen GR86 that I occasionally drive and enjoy...
