    QUALITY PARTS are all about the same. If you want to look up sleeves and "coil-over" springs on eBay then sure you'll spend 4 times as much for a BMW then a Honda! You buy QUALITY parts: Brembo brakes, high end wheels, H&R coil-overs, etc. then it's all going to be about the same price.

    Thats the difference between import and domestic. My engine installed by the dealership will run around $16K. Thats why I say Fuk import, Im goin domestic.

    Now THIS is true. But when it comes time to buy parts like headlights, see how much a nice set of BMW lights cost compared to a nice set of Honda lights...

    Actually if you're comparing say new S2k headlights to M3 headlights, I'd venture to say that they run about the same...

    well, the thing about that is you are comparing Hondas top of the line to BMWs bottom of the line. If thats the case, then I guess you are right.

    I'd have to agree
    “Alfalfa peak”—an odd ridge on a car that is otherwise a lava-lamp jubilee of rounded Oprah-ness.
