Your picture is a 3 series btw.

and the bmw is a 300+ horsepower monster if you have to ask this you are a fag. but don't buy the 3 series drop top. if you really want a drop top get a Z4 M Roadster. Trust me. 330hp of straight six sex.

Miatas are for fags.

Twice as fast as the miata. Interior isn't shit. And since it is used it is far cheaper. This is the car the miata wishes it could have been.

>>14295367
Lol u retarded boy? There's a wealth of information at your finger tips that can lead you to the conclusion that bmws are expensive to fix. Use fucking Google you backwoods retard

>>14295554
They are expensive to fix. They also don't break very often. That said that is the cost to drive a car that isn't a slow ass jap piece of shit. Well worth it in the mind of many. If you could afford one maybe your opinion would matter. Yes, they'll nickel and dime you to death but at least your interior doesn't look like it was made by fisher price.

>>14295634
Lexus and Mercedes for the most part, have more genuine interiors. I drove a 335 and being faster in a straight line in no way makes up for the hard stoney feel of every part of the interior. A 2009 335i costs almost 8-10k LESS than a 2009 Lex/Merc competitor for a reason, the fun doesn't last for very long.

>>14295689
>e90
Fair enough. Those are shit tho. Also it would take an act of god to make that much wear. Try again. That is ridiculous. My family has three e90s and none are even worn there. This fag has kids that kick the console 24/7. what do you want them to do, make tan plastic lol?

That is not even remotely "normal" wear.

>>14295705
I owned a detail shop for a few years.

And no it is because of their shit turbos. Not their nice interiors. Also autos are for women. And you.

>>14295678
Im not mine was falling apart and when the lacquer peels off theres real wood under it. Spraypainting soft touch composites doesn't work. Theyre made in the final color. The leather seats are real leather.

>>14295712
Show me another picture that isn't from a guy on a forum with kids who rested their feet on a center console made of plastic for 50k miles.

>>14295701
Thats the thing it isn't smooth. The transmission feels like it has no idea what its doing shifting randomly too late or early. Then when you eventually "manualy" shift it is has a delay like it thinks you dont know what you're doing. The suspension isn't good either. Its jiggly and yet not firm enough at the same time.

>>14295712
They really don't. Past 04 they went downhill for sure.

>>14295732

To add to it.
The carpet falls apart when you look at it.
The seats are always cracked.

If you detailed a single car, no matter the marque, like that then the owners were terrible people who either blatantly abused or neglected their cars. Probably why they came to you for their services. After all, you are on par with a jiffy lube in terms of customer competence.

Same. My e36 looks brand new less the drivers seat which wear is wear after 180k. My e30 is amazing minus the cracked dash and my e85 looks like it is a 2015. People like this either deal with the lowest tier of owners or are full of themselves.

>>14295758

What a shame. The people who can afford these fine cars abuse them out of apathy. Money in fact, cannot buy class.

I'd recover the seats if I was you. For 1k or so you'd look good as new. Many kits out there for vaders. How many miles anon?

>>14296109
The 1m and 135 are very different. The m has wider track, a more agressive suspension set up, more power, better exhaust, and probably some more goodies im forgetting. They're both great cars but the price difference is more than justified and 135 are already depreciated significantly 12-13k near me while 1m literally appreciated from the gate.

I fucking love this car, traded my BMW in for it.

OP here, I bought the Miata today. Almost that exact car. Gray Club with the Brembo package.

I did go drive the 135i first but it just wasn't for me.

I love watching the butthurt panic from Miata fanbois as they rush to cherry-pick laptimes where the Mazda is .1 of a second faster than a car on prius tires whenever someone posts that image. I can't believe how insecure they must be in their choice of car.

Good choice mate, I'm sure you aren't disappointed. I've never liked miata's before this one.

>lol i trol you

is that what you say everynight to yourself to cope up with the buyers remorse?

>>14295472
It's a superior to 4chan because everything doesn't disappear after a day or so and there's less shitflinging.

That being said, there is a reason the le reddit meme was created...
