There's an easy cure for that mileage problem you have - put a REALLY heavy return spring on your throttle cable. It's also quite a bit cheaper than an M1

Last two tanks were 22.7 and 22.9 mpg, but damn these Hill Country roads are fun! Also, my convertible is heavier than the typical E30 325i.

That is a great idea, but I am just looking for a reason to get an M1.
It is either that or the new M coupe coming out in July or August. The M1 would be more practical, but the M coupe is pure sex.

The hard part is convincing the other half that we need another car. Problem is that we only have a 2 car garage and I have huge trees in the front yard that get sap on any car parked in the driveway. I would be interested in buying her the new M coupe next year, but she would only want an automatic . That would be sad.
