I just turned 39 on Oct 18th & unlike most people my age, I look & act younger than I really am. You might say young at heart, probable due to the fact I've never been married or had any children. So, I'm gonna get the turbo4 when Hyundai makes a light weight track version available like the NismoZ with as much performance parts available from Hyundai as possible. Then I'll spend about 10 grand on upgrades to make the thing stupid quick.
Also, for my B-day I ordered mod parts for my BMW 540iMspt (front & rear strut tower braces, factory looking front & rear lip spoilers, set of carbon fiber canards/dive planes, & AEF filter). Next week I'm having the body parts painted, installing all parts, then taking it down to have Magnaflow mufflers installed, the following week I'll take to a reputable tuner shop to have custom chip, dyno, & tuning done....
Changed mind, not getting chip or tuning. After spending several days on Bimmerfest forums I found out it would just be a waste of money. I checked into it further & was confirmed that BMW got all that could out of this car with regards to tuning, w/o major mods; SC, headers, etc. So it would do no good, thus the money saved from chip will go toward new suspension (Eibach/Koni).
P.S. My bro says his truck has about had it & he needs a ride real soon, but doesn't have enough saved to afford the 6cyl. So if he goes for the turbo4, I'm back on for the 6cyl. Supercharged of course.

Reason: changed mind about tuning
