[QUOTE="01silverstang, post: 10703703, member: 21743"] The gas mileage is an issue to me, mainly because it's going to be a daily driver, and because part of me just can't fathom to own a car that would legitimately get around 10 mpg in the city. I love the new M3 and had thought about purchasing an E90 4 door, but that car in actual driving will never get more than 14-15 mpg city and often times much less. I want the ability to drive the GT500 up to Chicago to visit the wife's family and not needing two full tanks by the time I get there. Based on what people are reporting, I will use 1 tank and probably another 1/4 tank when I arrive. I'm ok with that as it's about what I'm getting in my 04' 5 speed 325Ci. I have a couple financial things coming together over the next month or two and depending on how that turns out I will most likely be looking for a GT500 this summer. While summer is typically sports car season for selling, my guess is if gas continues to rise the demand won't be there like normal. If I can't find what I want for the right price I may even hold off looking till next fall into winter as I'm sure the demand will go down with inclement weather. I'm coming to the conlusion that even if I'm not financially where I need to be on the 10' it makes more sense to wait till the price is right and get the car I want... than to try and substitute it with a car that will never quite be the same. Still going back and forth between sterling with silver which kind of has an eleanor feel... or red with white. The sterling seems a little to restrained in pics and the red and white seems like it may be a little too loud down the road... [/QUOTE]
