That B58 is insane. Just get a tune and hold on.

Indeed. And there was no good way to enter that I have the M Performance LSD. There's just a question about "mods." So, I did not put it in.

Even if I end up getting a practical car, I think I have to hold onto this one--even though it's not purely impractical to provide even more contrast. The answer to that, of course, would be a Miata.

OT: I never can remember BMW engine numbers so I was doing some googling and ran into this:

https://bmwtuning.co/s55-vs-s58/

It's surprising how highly they speak of the S55's reliability. Also, I was not aware of any crank hub fix in 2016.

I wouldn't place a lot of value in anything on that site.

I don't. I wonder where the hell they go that info, that's all.

Someone was given 45 minutes to google.

This was interesting to see just now:

At the time I bought my 2017 turbo at $19k, I could have bought a 2017 SS 1LE for $31ish without much trouble.

The 1LE in the image will probably retail with an asking price of $31 or so.

In a non-logged in state, it was $18,310 this morning.

Screenshot is this evening.

I'm letting it go. For now.

Wut?! I thought you locked in your price.

I did and that is in process. Nothing stops you from going to the site in a logged out state and running another appraisal on the same VIN.

Screenshot of the same thing (plus a little more) when logged in just now.
