With a 6-speed manual. An actual honest-to-goodness good short-throw 6-speed.

Anyone know how much they are selling for. Not MSRP, but market?

Pfft, east coast. I'm sure everyone on here could agree that Salk Lake is centrally located...

Do you guys meet with your local BMWCCA? I've only been to a few local events (2 car meets, a driving tour(where my hpfp died)., and the track day last week) At the car meets there were several guys from E90Post. Seems like a good community, a few offers to help with mods and such.

I run the Southeast E90's. We are a baby club. I was big into the BMWCCA Peachtree Chapter years ago, not so much now.

You know I live in MD, and I haven't been to any I talked to another member on here with a sick ass E92, Wonka, and he told me about a few upcoming ones (kind of far from me, but I guess that's also part of the fun. I'm around 20 minutes from DC). I just need to free up my schedule a bit, and I'll definitely make time. I love BMW camaraderie.

Maybe this video has been posted before. That's why i'm not posting it as a new thread. Pretty damn entertaining..and maybe useful. I know that I want to be able to beat a ricer or a Mustang off the line...though I don't lose any sleep over it. That being said...this video may help keep in perspective, what our cars were designed for.

You have an open diff. It should be okay. Mechanically not too much to go bad there. Unless, of course, BMW got cheap on the quality and strength of their rear diffs....

Sweet, thanks for the link! My friend kept telling me how the 335 were so nice because they had LSDs, and I keep trying to tell them they don't but he is convinced. Hes probably thinking of the open differential. Are LSDs worth the money for the 335?
