In town for the holidays and I finally saw a SG e92 on 93N last night around 9ish. We were about 5-10 minutes from Derry area.
I got so excited to see one and I tried to catch up in my rental car but it was futile... Lol. |

Cape Cod here. Car is my daily driver year round. Why own it if you don't drive it?

When I switch from the Accord to the M3, it just puts a smile on my face every time. Gotta love it |

Wish I could enjoy mine every day but parts can get expensive as a daily driver, specially during the winter. Not the best car for the winter because of the RWD. That's where my Accord comes in to play

Personally, if your looking for an daily driver, I would go DCT. If your looking for the drive once in a while type and be in control, then manual is the way to go. Good luck with the order. Hit us up for a quick spin

I actually witnessed two yesterday in the south shore area.. One e90 (I know guy and looks like he took my advice on getting a catback system a while back) and an e93. Both were Jerez black..
It was like seeing a purple squirrel twice in one day! I think these cars handle very well in the winter considering. Get a good set of snows and your in good shape. Heavy blizzard maybe not, but the rear diff helps quite a bit with tire spin. If you are really gung ho with driving it in winter throw a couple of sand bags in the back to keep the back from getting happy. I have personally never done it, but I have heard good things. And hey if ur stuck you got the sand to put under the tires to get you out! Car is definitely happier in better climates and the roads as we know are well...horrible to say the least. Guys in the west and south don't know how lucky they are! I'm glad I got the TTRS. Keeps miles off the M and this is a car I intend on keeping as long as humanly possible. Have a happy holidays and merry Xmas to everyone. PM any time if we have nice weekend weather coming our way and would love to meet up. |

West Springfield, MA. Pretty much stored for the winter although I have had it out recently do the nice dry and relatively warm weather. Definitely goes into hibernation after the first good coating of salt/sand.
We have a vacation home in York, ME, so I have been up there with the M also in the spring through fall.

To those guys asking about the DCR vs MT I was suspicious at the time of buying as I hVe always loves a MT. I am really disappointed that I never tear drove the DCT. I has the chance in the summer to drive an AA STAGE 2 with Meth and I could not believe how good the DCT was! Truly an amazing transmission. If I could do it over I would have chosen the DCT HANDS DOWN!
I just don't quite like the feel of the gates in the MT. I know you can always do a SS KIT. I have a 4.10 in mine and it is really aggressive around town and hardly likes normal driving. The TTRS has a great feel and the gates are nice and close (2nd to 3rd is a little long), but the feel of the shifter and weight is just fantastic. Wish I could put this in the M Do A DCT with the Dinan 3.62 and you will be smiling all day long. It's personal preference really and both are great. The DCT is just better. Any of you guys slightly adjusted your vehicles performance wise? If considering anything suspension wise, DO THE MONOBALL from Dinan. Best bang for buck and the control and feel of the vehicle is just sublime. Heard they may be making rare monoball a as well. |

Nobody cares if its .5 seconds faster. Quite frankly any manual is the better car over any DCT/Automatic/Tiptronic/SMG etc..I have an autotragic X5 and love it but for the long drives and snow trips, not for weekend fun and hills....
Bump.. Merry Christmas...

Agreed endless! Manual is pure bliss with the proper driving situations! Sometimes though I really hate it on the mornings driving into Boston
Up north has some great roads drive, but better watch for those sneaky state troopers hiding out! Come the spring we should put something together for a little meet and greet and then shed rubber on the street! Really want this blower broken in come the spring...global warming keep it up! Definitely feel bad for the ski industry up there though. I'm a skier and from the sound of it, conditions are not great |

Back to the thread....
I'd love to have a meet up / get together sometime. We live in a beautiful place... It's a shame to not get together for coffee or dinner and maybe a short drive up the coast! Edit:.... And Merry Christmas!
