Joe Rogan on the 1970's:There was no texting, no cell phones, so there was a different type of urgency when it came to ****ing. You had to get it while it was there. Women were running around, doing cocaine and taking hot loads from guys they barely knew. If must have been a f*cking fantastic time to be alive.
For the most part. If memory serves, it's also the cucumber capital of Japan. Hence the home-market ads for the FT-86 featuring Takeichi-kun, the cartoon cucumber whose meteoric rise through the underground drift world has shamed him in the eyes of his school-master.
Somehow, I dont' find the pricing to be that offensive. Given how much BMW charges for the wheels, carbon fiber pieces, and the steering wheel on top of the custom paintwork (looks amazing), they are probably only (by BMW dealer standards) overcharging for it by four or five grand, which can easily be haggled down.
It's a replica of the Tii shown earlier this year. I don't really see what the big deal is other than that it's overpriced and has a dumbass name stuck on it.
The stripes and hood aren't my thing, but they're not that bad.

12k for CF mirrors/CF spoiler/flat black hood/flat black vinyle strips / Texas flag

I really don't understand? A tarted up 135 with “Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers” I thought a new unmolested 1 35 could be had cheaper
Although the miles seem high there is very little wrong, the work has been done by a DSM driver of who’s dsm still runs, which speaks volumes more than some silly ASE certification.
does that steering wheel come with shift indicators built into it??
Yeah, and a bunch of other stuff as well, it's got a lap counter, 0-60 and 1/4 mile timer, and G-Meter built into it. The wheel is $1k, and it's a HUGE PITA to install.
It's pretty cool, but it's more money than I would spend for a gadget.

You don't get it. Someone who wants this car doesn't want a used M3, they want a fully loaded 135i that's been hopped up with tii parts. Performance will be on par with the E46 M3 but the 135i is brand new and comes with a warranty. I'd pass on the stripes, mirror covers, delete the rear seats, and install the tii front seats and roll bar with 7-point harnesses.
They should have painted the roof and the rear decklid.
Other than that little gripe, and the rear decal (easily removeable), I like it.

I've often said that most corporations should employ an eight year old child of average intelligence. Anything that the kid thinks is dumb, evil, or incomprehensible gets tossed out.
heh I found it funny when these performance parts were announced how everyone in TCL was so happy and said it was amazing (especially the suspension, steering wheel and seat upgrade)
If it had an actual painted hood in flat black all the way around (some of the actual pics show that the underside is white), if it had the $$$ BMW performance seats like the real tii, if it had the actual BMW performance wheels, and CF interior trim then I'd say it would actually be worth the price premium.
All those parts are genuine BMW and are honored by BMW's warranty.
This seems to be dealer installed crap. They even try to justify the price by posting the parts sheet with installation costs.
I'm not really sure what the issue is with displaying the cost of the parts and labor to install them.
They're showing retail price, which no one pays for those parts, and the tint is a little high, but other than that the labor is reasonable and they're discounting everything at the end.

I love how it's $12,472.42 for the performance package. The lack of rounding means it can't possibly be a money grab.

Speaking of media, did anyone get any pics? Especially of the white Honda Accord CrossTour in heat 1. As we always say, nearly anything can be autocrossed. ;-)

$272 in labor to glue or screw on a lip spoiler? LOL WUT?
They use some pretty nasty adhesive. It took about 3 hours to do mine. Removing the factory spoiler is a PITA, and then the thing has to be prepped, test fit, masked, and then installed. It's a little on the high side but it's not outrageous.

Hey, that's at my roommates dealership, Classic BMW in Dallas. I remember him telling me about it the other day. They put that Texas flag on every car they sell.
