Drove a BMW M

An X5M that is. A 567 hp suv with AWD. Like a really grown up Evo.

The handling was great and the torque curve on this thing is insanity. Combined with the tires, the acceleration from a dead stop felt like it was AWD. The only thing I didn't like was the carbon ceramic brakes, they need to be really hot before they work well. Doesn't make much sense on the street. I would save money and get the steel brakes. Overall, it's like a modern, four door Supra with Evo-like traction.

Its a Z3 M Coupe. A blast to drive, but not very practical for a daily/all season car.

An Evo will definitely give you more of that. It's nice to have a four door.

I'm very excited! I loved the four door i used to have, I've owned hatchbacks and coupes ever since. I drove my friends X and absolutely loved it. I wish i could say the same for the new sti. :X haha
