Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Is that because they are more addictive than cigarettes?

:lol:


I'm a little disappointed in those paddles. The ///M3 I drove had nice ones on the column. What car are we looking at here?

I drove both the manual and DCT M3 Sedans on Saturday. NO QUESTION about which was better and more the 'driver's car'.....the DCT. The manual had a ponderous clutch and vague shifter. The clutch was light like a Honda....no feel at all. I've driven a GT3 RS and its got a similar setup but the lightness is for quick work while it maintains tactile response as to WTF the drivetrain is doing. No so the manual in the M3.

Manual, 0. DCT 1.
