Here's my 2 cents... Posted by Karl [Email] (#161) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Karl) on Sat, 27 Jan 2001 12:58:57 In Reply to: Shorten my list, rick_sands, Fri, 26 Jan 2001 00:15:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Rick,
I'd say go with the Aero. It's a wonderful car. Not AS good as it's predecessor, but then again...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
So get the Aero, black/black, silver/black or steel grey/black (at least those are my favorite combos. Also, I would suggest getting a suspension upgrade straight away. The stock 9-5 suspension is really way too comfort oriented. Either get a lowering kit (Eibach, H&R or equivalent...just make sure it's "progressive" springs which greatly improve comfort compared to "linear" rate lowering springs) or get uprated shocks, if for some reason you need to conserve stock ride height. I will go with Bilsteins and stock springs with my 9000 Aero so that I can keep my ride height (not that it's an SUV...just want to make it thru Swedish winter...).
Then there are of course numerous engine upgrades if (perhaps I should say when) you feel like the stock 230 isn't quite enough... That, of course, is an option that you don't have with the bimmer...
Good luck!
/ Karl
