The wait is over

Well I finally cannot wait anymore. I have given up my conquest to get a Ralliart and I have purchased a BMW 135i. I have been waiting a year for this thing and to hear about more delays is discouraging.

GL to everyone, I will definitely be test driving this when it FINALLY comes out!

A Ralliart? Why didn't you consider the X GSR when you were comparing with the 135i? Hmmmmm....

Is 135i better than evo? They are almost the same price right?

The 135 is nothing like the RA.. you had quite a ball park of selection there..

And the RA's will be here in roughly 3 weeks if all goes according to plan.. could of waited

He also said that 34k was a little over his price range, then goes to the 135 which should have been way over 34k.

This thread makes as much sense as a post saying; "I couldn't wait any longer for the new Honda Fit so I went out and bought a new G37."

Did I miss something about delays? I thought they were originally slated to be released late Sept, early Oct? Or is the OP just talking nonsense?

Moved to Other Cars. Add me to the list of people who don't understand why you were waiting for the Ralliart when you could afford a 135i or Evo X.

I was waiting for the Ralliart too. Then the delays were announced and the initial performance numbers started to trickle in.

I counted my pennies and figured that once I optioned the ralliart up and added a decent set of tires I'd be dang near to GSR cost... so I bought a GSR.

135i's are nice, but I needed a usable back seat and 4 doors.
