Everyone defends BMW yet half of the BMWs Ive seen that were 5+ years old were garbage.
Id go with a Coyote too, personally. Or a higher mileage C6 even.

Its going to be a lot easier to add power to the 5.0 than subtract weight from the SRT8

Owned a 6.4L Challenger.

It's fun for a street car. It's heavy, gets pretty shitty mileage, and has really bad blind spots.

The 6.4L responded to power adders really well. Not sure about the 6.1L though. I know they don't like Nitrous.

Has an average lower maintenance cost than a toyota camry. I did my research. :p
Also great safety ratings, insurance is fairly cheap

BMW maintenance is the same as American. This is a myth from the 90s

You can buy the manufacturer oil filters for $3 on Amazon and it uses the same oil as every other car.


Just go test drive one and you will buy it. They don't charge you for test drives so what will it hurt


HE SAID THE BMW PREMIUM IS A MYTH
THEN CLAIMS AMAZON PARTS ARE ACTUALLY OEM

I'M CRYING :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


But for real though, you shouldn't be allowed to give people advice.

I had an old 5.0. About 30 years old. (I believe it was an 85). Theyre not nearly as fast as people make them out to be. Theyre quick off the line, that's about it. Anyone whos driven an old 5litre mustang knows this. They are fun cool cars, but nowhere near the hype they get. and I AM a Ford guy. lol.
