    Default New to the G8 world

    Hey everyone
    Just wanted to check in as I begin my G8 search.

    Currently have an E46 M3 that was bought for HPDE and my trips to the office, but a growing family 3 kids has scuttled that build.

    I test drive a Garnet G8 in 2009 but wasn't ready for the car having just gotten my first real job.

    I've come to learn that the LS motor loves mods and can take miles
    The chassis is solid, it might not be a M3 but it's entertaining
    The back seat will fit the kids
    And I'm seeing some really nice examples for sub 16

    Welcome. Good luck with your search. There are still 1 owner G8's out there. If you buy one already modded, make sure your do your research and all mods are documented and from a someone that knows what they're doing. Last thing you want is a car modded under a shade tree by someone deep in a 12 pack.

    Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of the L76 and the what are the preferred brands and vendors. The M3 world has its own issues of bad owners and mods
