Double shock. A 328i? This is a mid-range car which is what, $50K up with tax? And it didn't have folding rear seats. I remember when I was looking at the C-class, a C230 was 39K or so, and didn't have folding seats. I thout it was idiotic that the premium package, which offered that option, was 4K - which, ironically, equated the price (43K) of a base C300 - which featured all of those. I would expect a 320i to have this, but a 328i? Really???? I put a Christmas tree in this damn thing as a sign of protest.

- Free shipping within the States vs shipping costs to Canada - Expensive dealer fees chaged by UPS and FedEx - Tax is neutral as you have to pay tax either way, but if you are in the US for 48 hours, you can save the 15% tax that's versus driving 100 kms roundtrip, for say 15$ gas The more you order, the more it's worth it to go pick up. My order was roughly $500, I think I have saved over $100 of dealer fees if not more + shipping costs. Oh, Nexus makes border crossing like 30 seconds each way

but i agree that its only convenient when u have a lot of stuff to pick up. no point going down there just to grab one package. oh and when i go down, i never forget to refuel the car too... since US gas is like 25% cheaper than what we pay here in QC.

Tony asks me at every event and I would like to come back and track. But you guys are so far ahead now that I would be stuck in novice or intermediate (it has been 3-years since I've done a tracking event). I told Tony this week that he's right and I should do 1 or 2 next year. |

As for the track thing, you should not be worried where your level is. It is important to have fun first, be safe and then fast/quick. When being fast/quick is taking over the fun, or the safety, it's time to back off and regroup/reassess. That is the reason I never tracked more that 5/6 days a year, nor getting a camera. Cheers!

I just watched the Johnny Lieberman review for MT. Interesting. However the essence of his spiel is that the 3 series is the fastest around the course (which implies excellent handling) but he didn't like how it felt. Now while he is perfectly entitled to an opinion, his review is therefore rather far form factual.
I will admit this: I actually like the new suspension, the car no longer crashes like a cheap clapped out pick up truck whenever a pothole cannot be avoided. And the chassis is stiffer than that of the e90 so there you go... Now I give full cudos to for the ATS as well as the CTS and the SRX all very worthy competitors in their segments. And by the way, there is nothing that will convince me that the current C class can out handle a BMW, sorry, I have driven the current C class - not happening Ps the light steering on my F30 I no liky - if I get another Bimmer, the new must have option therefore becomes the M Sport package.

I was never one to overdrive the car on the track, I still have to get home after the event plus I have heard of too many hot heads at some events. 5-6 days per year would be nice and I would like to try new tracks. |

You are absolutely right. Tony has the bug and jgalaxy has one piece of equipment. How are you liking the GT3?

i already did a 360 spin at mosport when i made the mistake of taking my foot off the throttle mid corner. hope to see you at an event next season. tony does way more track days than me so he would have a better idea of the track days in the surrounding area.
