Service records? Many low milage owners service the car based on milage alone and not time, so it may have had only 1 or 2 oil changes, for example. Also many of these cars are still on original...

Have you driven in the before on studless snow tires? I had Vredestein Wintrac Pro (a performance winter tire) and they were very disappointing in snow and ice, barely any better than UHP all...

Columbus gets about the same weather as Dayton. Cincinnati is a bit milder. You should be fine with either car. Do you have all season tires? Alternately consider getting proper winter tires and you...

Those are two oddly specific options. It seems that there are so many more choices between these two extremes that would be a better blend of "extreme road car" and "fun with the family car".

The MMI Pro looks to me to be the same as the Ali Express units at 4x the price. I was willing to consider Mr12Volt for the audio quality, but as I rarely listen to music in cars I opted for a...

I test drove an ND2 and found the steering very numb. Can't speak for a Z4, but my E93 is decent but not very good the closer you get to the limit. A real 6/10ths car. By comparison my BRZ is much...

Wow, that was fast. I waited for almost two months for a good E93 to pop up near me.



Does it feel any heavier than the F33? They are about the same curb weight.
Interesting about the trunk,...

The E93 is 400 lbs heavier than an E90, and I would say it's noticeable. I haven't compared trunk space to an F33, but according to the official numbers E93 is 9 cubic feet while F33 is only 7.8, so...

Measure the hole (especially clearance behind it) and see if you can find a rivnut that will fit there. I still think it'll be the best and easiest solution here.
