Do you all think it needs a spoiler on the back?

I think this car can get away with a spoiler. 💯

anyway margate330, my car DOES have a spoiler... it's just secretly hiding.




see it there?

it's speed actuated by default, but there's a button to raise/lower it manually too.




oh and since you can see the tail light there i have to post another gratuitous pic of that because i think they're the coolest tail lights i've ever seen with mirrors inside i think to give an infinite effect, at least that's what it looks like, and the pic here isn't the best.

Other than that it's nothing but 80s some 90s an classic rock.
and a crapton of commercials.

much prefer using a music streaming service so better quality music, what i want, no commercials. and with youtube premium i can play videos with no commercials too.

I have YT Premium as well lol. I use YT for my music in the car, etc. etc. It has my taste down just about perfectly.

Your car looks stunning.

I think the could get away going more bold on the spoiler for this car.

When I say bold I mean bigger but it looks good.
The tail lights are awesome. 🏆

like you i had a big library or ripped or bought songs i'd stick on devices to play, but my best friend eventually convinced me to go the streaming route, and it's such a wonderful thing exactly because it will start playing something you've never heard of based on what it knows you like or listen to. it's introduced me to tons fo great stuff. recommended.

most of the time i'm actually listening to FM which is where i get most of my music discovery from, but i still value having the physical audio files... also a high quality (128 or 256 kbps) song played through the LS tape deck, or playing an actual CD from the changer just sounds so good on that old pioneer system... HD radio does sound good but a lossless CD with uncompressed AIFF audio can't be beat

And you know that you get ad free YT on all of your devices, right? I never realized you could buy your way out of ads.

My crazy *** friend who is the longest time friend in my life other than my brother bought a 2011 M3 recently. It’s low mileage and clean. I don’t know why every used car has curb rash on the right side wheels. It’s really not difficult to not hit curbs. Anyway, this friend started a very successful auto detailing product business and has a nice car collection. The M3 is the least interesting to me. I’m gonna go visit him and check out his whole collection soon.

My money is on drive-thrus. Some of them are pretty damn tight for some inexplicable reason.
