Hold out for the 4.8is. You like working on cars, that's the one to work on. I absolutely love how great it is to work on it. It also doesn't have the crazy clutch fan. And the electric fan pops out in 2 seconds giving you 8-9 inches of work space infront of engine. So shit like belts, tensioners, t-stat, whatever else is a pleasure to get to.

Add on top that it is a monster. It hauls ass, handles crazy, has a much more pleasant ride with the air auspencion. It absolutelly eats bumps. The exhaust itself makes me drool every day. I can keep going. I know it will cost a lot more. I was there. But keep looking. I got mine with 75k, black on white, loader less running boards, PPI, post sale inspection through manheim, delivered from florida, registered and tagged, $500 to my dealer, for $26,011. My dealer got me all the service records from BMW too. Yea I had random bullshit issues, but all in all, I would not get a 4.4i after having this.

Don't forget, that's 8.725% sales tax in the above too.


My friend has a BMW shop. He does swaps into E30s mostly. But every time we wonk on this car he swears it's built like an M car. As in it's meant to be worked on quick and easy.
