"Battery Tender Unnecessary" (carac)

I just put down a deposit on a i8.
I still LOVE pre-2006 models. I have a E30 M3, E39 M5 and I always wanted a M1. Nothing they currently make excites me in the slightest. It's a big reason I went AMG back in 2010 when I got rid of a E90 M3. That just changed. Carbon-fiber passenger cell. Next-gen telematics and infotainment system. 94mpg. Federal Tax credit. Swan doors (I'm partial to unconventional doors). EVO magazine drove one and loved it. I'm sold.
Now for a problem. I need to make room in the garage.

Don't tell me this means the SLS goes.
Also, when you get this, bring it to Nashville's Cars and Coffee.
Congrats!

NOPE. SLS stays. I will enjoy the irony of parking them side-by-side.

Well on the plus side, your average mpg among your fleet will go up.

YES! This will look great next to the SLS.

Congrats!!! You will, of course, be required to give us a full review once you take delivery!
...and about that little garage space issue - seeing as rb1971 hasn't yet accepted my offer to help with his i8 related garage space issues - I am happy to extend the offer to you as well! It doesn't even have to be an E9! Whatever old jalopy you need to unload will be fine, I'm sure :P

You lucky motherfucker. You'd definitely have fun with this thing while giving zero fucks about Prii(?) drivers.
Remember to rub the 94 mpg in the face of every person that drives a Prius. DO IT FOR THE HONOR OF THE JALOPS.

Hehe, I'll probably sell it before winter to make room. 99k miles. Sterling Grey. Until this spring when I bought it, it spent it's whole life in California. Resonator Delete, Magnaflow. Ground Control Coilovers. Comes will all the original parts (suspension, exhaust/mufflers). Shark injector. Short throw shifter. Brand new Michelin Pilot Supersports on the stock 18s. It also came with a set of 19" BBS RS-GTs that I will likely try to sell along side if I can.
Pre-purchase inspection from April showed it just needed a driver's side fuel sensor (the main one works fine, you just have to be careful when you get below a quarter tank). And it could probably use a new set of plugs. Other than that, it's good. Keep her as clean as the SLS.

Great stable. Bought my first BMW a year ago - an '08 E90 M3.
What motivated you to get rid of it in favor of AMG? The attraction of the SLS is hard to argue with... Unconventional doors FTW.
I'm worried about M as well. FI, electric steering, etc. At least the new M3/4 is dropping weight. I hope the M235i/M2 fully restores my faith.

Every saturday at the Carmike Theater in Cool Springs. But every first saturday of the month is the exotic car day. That's when the supercars come in.
