Hello all -
I'm hoping to become the proud owner of a US 124 Abarth with a manual transmission.
I've been a long time lover of BMW, and have been building, racing and generally tinkering with all kinds of Bavarian iron for years and years. But I think it's time for a change.
Just sold a manual m235i, as it was simply too much. Too much weight when it broke loose. Too much power and torque for me to feel good about unleashing on a mountain road. I loved it, but I'm hoping for something with better rotation, more chassis feedback, and less power (I know... Atypical!).
I've driven the new Abarth 124, and I think it fits the bill... Hoping to pick one up soon. Maybe even today, if I can coordinate a ride to the dealer!
I've already been lurking here forsome time, and the aftermarket support I've seen here, as well as the general enthusiasm, have been big factors in my decision to move away from BMW and try something new!!
Thanks!
