I am not rich but my family and friends are pretty well off and I drive their BMW's and 'Cedes all the time. It always makes me feel better once I get back in my car. There's just not the same feeling that the RX8 gives me. Brings a smile to my face. Sorry about crashing your thread.

So I did it again.
I put my car on autotrader and started looking at BMW's.

I thought maybe a coupe with a little more HP would be nice to have. But after driving several of them, I would get back in my 8 to drive to the next dealership and realize . . . .. the 8 is what I am looking for, not a BMW.

So yesterday I had someone come by to look at my car. He offered me the full asking price if I included the wheels, and I turned him away. I felt bad, but I had made the appointment with him before I test drove the other cars.


Looks like the 8 stays for another 6 months.

what you need is a Cayman S. Anything else is just another car.

I would trade my car in for a 135i without even thinking twice.

I actually drove one of those too. They are quick, but heavy. Very smooth power, really nice interior, but a little bit too much weight to really corner the way I want it to.
I am actually looking at the E46, the body style that ran through 2005. They are a couple hundred pounds lighter than the new ones, but still available with all the goodies you would expect from a BMW.

Exactly. I bought an 83 RX-7 GSL a few weeks ago and i am having a freakin ball goin back and forth from the 8 to the 7. The 7 is my commuter/run erronds car and the 8 is my weekender/special event car. Somethin about that rotary that sticks. Just love them. My goal is to have one of each: FB, FC, SE3P and the mack daddy FD. I wouldnt mind picking up an old pre-7 RX car as well, they are cool looking lil suckers.

You have the same goals as me Except, for now, I'm OK with just owning one of each...not really at the same time, just in general. Just need a 3rd gen now.
