First the 4 series now this? Too many coupes now

That's actually a nice looking car. It's taken me years to warm up to anything they've released post E46, but I like that.

If the car is an auto, it has a 3.38. If it's a manual, it has a 2.93. You can use either, depending on what kind of gearing you want. 3.38 is more aggressive. 2.93 revs lower on the highway and will...
