I really wanted to go with something different that I had not gotten before but everything seemed boring to me. M340i ... No, Not a fan of the 4 series unless its am M4 and a convertible, but too expensive, I thought about getting an STi again because I know those and know what im getting into, but I have had 4 of them, so no. Corvette... No, Already had an M5, and X3MC, so no on both of those. I really didn't know what to do until by accident I searched an M850i and found this absolutely brilliant Twilight Purple M850i.

If you like the 5 series and want something fast, the M850i used is a bit cheaper than an M5 and still has great power. I think it looks better too. The Xdrive Gran Coupe looks fast sitting still.
I had a 2017 STI... What an underrated car. Comfortable, spacious, and FUN FUN FUN. Not fast, but super satisfying to drive. The steering was so satisfying, I loved the character of the engine. My only complaint with it was the motor was too small and had no power out of boost. It was the first car I've owned that you would literally have to downshift to 1st gear at low speeds. It needed more displacement real bad... And another 50-100hp.


RIP Subaru STI.
