The Rod Bearing thing i'm staying away from. I was just saying that STI's are WELL documented with issues in the MY12+ and 15+. The 15+ chassis is in a different world from the 14 and earlier (having owned both). The luxury and refinement is not even close. Remember the STI is an impreza (sub 20k car) with work done. This is a 3 series (40k+ car) with work done. Completely diff worlds. Funny I saw another guy on here with a Launch Edition 15 here too. Seems they cross over a lot.


All of our other DD cars are AWD (incl my other bmw, but obv not the camaro) and we enjoy rally when we can, so I don't think that will be changing too much.

This car is definitely not a dragster. We all need to accept at some point that anything with 2wd is going to lose to a lot of the performance cars out there. GTR, or tuned Evo, STI, S4, S5, even a 335x will eat us 0-60. I know years ago bmw said they'd never do an AWD m3.

With that said, Welcome!!!
