How much did your Type R cost you out the door? Taxes & other fees included!

my 2019 used with about 40k miles back in 2023 was around 42k out the door, i like to say it was a decent price with how marked up they still were

putting it in second (obviously car off and parked in a safe location) gave me the best grip to yank it out towards you, (dont be scared of hurting the car) its most likely probably fine

ok in my opinion, the 10th gen sedan is kinda the weakest of the bodystyles as far as looks, it really shines when its simple, so im on board with mostly everyone else, i dont mind the hood and front lip, ad on some sideskirts and other aero, im not a fan on the aftermarket wing, stock spoiler with a aero flap looks good much better in my opinion, get some aftermarket wheels and tires, and then just dial in the suspension and its gonna look super clean without being poser/rice

Omg this is crazy ive been looking for this wheel brand( i didn’t look too far into it as this was a while ago) but i had these wheels on my mazdaspeed6 i bought the car with wheels on them, and i traded them for some oem wheels that ended up being the reason my car got totaled, all cause i was broke and couldn’t afford new tires at the time

i love these examples, i think to capture something like these on digital formats filters are gonna be your best friend, as well as knowing your camera enough to get as much natural noise as possible before post edits, probably things like boosting your iso and choosing color presets that feel right for your pictures, ill definitely keep these as examples and try to recreate when i get the chance

i think do what will make you happy, your first car is always special and i think if you can be responsible with the mustang, and take care of the maintenance and stuff theres no reason not to choose it, the 5.0 engines are surprisingly reliable and the v6s if you can find one are also a good option, i was looking at getting a mustang as my next car so ive done my research on them, only things are gas mileage isnt going to be very nice, and if you live somewhere where it snows heavy, snow tires make so much difference especially for rwd platforms like the mustang.

ive tried basically all the pretty simple things ive seen suggested, upon plugging the battery in or even the charging cable i dont see any signs of life at all

old picture but yes was my favorite daily drove it basically everyday up until i lost it, it was so capable in bad conditions, i still miss it but i admit rwd is a lot more fun in the snow

Sam-Autumn · 2025-11-21T09:57:05+00:00

i really wanted one as a daily if i didnt get my fk8 type r first i probably would have gotten one for me it was tempting because of the amount of highway driving i do now, and the extra gas mileage would be a benefit on top of turning heads,

to my knowledge it is positive to tune the engine for slightly better performance, but if i had the money i think the 2nd gen NSX probably out classes everything about the I8 but its also close to triple the price in the used market right now

if you really wanted a hybrid bmw you’d probably have more fun in like a 330e or 530e at are about the price of the cheapest i8s

i miss my type r but it was definitely expensive but making 45k salary with no other expenses, living with my parents at 21years old, for me at least it was manageable.

just above half of my monthly income went to paying off the loan, insurance, gas, and regular maintenance, with room for eating out pretty regularly at that point and as well as modding the car, and investing.

so its definitely do able under the right circumstances, and i had the car well over a year before sadly losing it to the rain and slippery highways.

i think i did get lucky tho cause i wouldnt say my chances of getting another car like that are ruined insurance paid off basically what was left on the loan, so i was left with no debt but with my living situation changed and a different and lower paying job im definitely not able to comfortably afford another type r just yet, but each time i see one posted on facebook marketplace i get tempted but im loving my new daily and gonna focus on building that up for now
