Sold my 8, bought a BMW...
...and I miss the 8.
I have a 2006 BMW 330i Sport 4-door, 6-speed manual. White paint, black leather, real aluminum trim, 18" wheels... The torque is decent, but I have to wind it out to really feel the power. I bought it mainly for the real-life back doors and more grown-up look.
I miss the 8. I miss the sound, the handling, the flip-out nav, the short throws. Cherish your car! Just thought I'd share!

I backed off at the last minute.
It's a nice car, but for whatever reason, I got a case of the heebee jeebee's when I thought about the maintenance costs, etc. on the BMW.
It's a damn nice car, though! Congrats!

It's a Cavalier
MR2_Spyder, why did you trade your 8 in? Who cares what people think, unless you're a realtor or you have to drive business clients around.

Thanks for the props fellas...its a fun ride!
I can feel MR2 Spyder's pain though. The 8 will spoil you for sure...the handling is to die for. Which is why I searched for months to find a suitable replacement for my 8 before I sold her.
IMHO the ///M and 8 have very similar characteristics in responsiveness...although the ///M can be a bit of a handful at times.

Yup. I'm in the same boat. It's now between a 2009 GT RX8, or a 2008 135i. Every time i think I have rationalized and decided on one...Something pulls me toward the other.
Oh well, not a crappy choice to be faced with

Very interesting, and appreciated, perspective. I've often thought I should be in something "more grown up" myself, but then the kid in me prevails. 
ps: I did get the 335i brochure in the mail yesterday tho' .......
