For Sale Cool Guy Car For Sale

[Kamauxx]

If anyone's in the market...(someone took some really bad pictures)

Not mentioned in the ad is Vertini wheels, Nitto tires, SSR mid-pipe, Thermal Catback, Stillen intake, Eibach springs, Girodisc brake pads, some hard to remove velcro from my woofer, all weather cargo mat, and most importantly no sunroof rattle!


I'm hoping someone from out of state comes to Raleigh to buy this so I don't have to see it around town. Otherwise I might shed a tear for my baby when we pass each other.

Visually I think you traded down. So I understand you will when you see a Stinger.

You got rid of the Stinger so you could become a mod here didnt ya? Wash

I think someone is repeating them self. Wonder if a relocation to Fl and G70 is in the cards.

*520 hp. The Stinger really does look better though, I gotta admit. Kia did a helluva job designing it.

To be clear, this isn't a for sale as from me. This is the dealership I traded the car in to. I'm just hoping someone sees it from the other side of the world and buys it because I would hate to see it driving around all the time.

As for "why" I traded it, I don't usually keep cars for over a year. I mod em, get bored, and move on. I had my Stinger for 21 months. I enjoyed it (mostly) but I've been eyeing the S6 and M550 for quite a while. After test driving the M550 I decided I had to have it. My wife didn't object, so I went for it.

If you wore a hat. I would be asking you to eat it. As you can see below a 1/4 mile trap of 113.046 and eta of 12.281 is NOT walk the doors off a Stinger stats. Now for you own personal edification I would like to humbly suggest you flip over to the Official 1/4 mile thread and view the track numbers that @Tonkabob has so kindly compiled for us "Stinger enthusiasts".

Comparing stock cars to modded? Hell there's 2005 Honda Civics with <$5k in mods that run 9s.

2020 M550i are faster than the numbers you posted though. I'm guessing those are with the outgoing engine. There are a lot of 2018-2019 M550 on the BMW forums running 11.0X and one running 10.93 @ 127mph with just a tune and exhaust. Looks like most of the focus over there is on 60-130 runs though.

No worries. Your wife is very understanding. Wish I could afford to change my cars that often. Good luck with your new purchase.

How do they handle? They look like very heavy cars, are they more suited to German autobaun driving versus track duty? Not to say the Stinger is a track beast or anything but curious how they handle.

They are very heavy cars. The ride is more soft and plush than my Stinger. In comfort mode, it's kind of like driving a fast low riding Lincoln Navigator. There's one special curve on my way to work where I'd take the Stinger up to over 80-85mph. I feel less secure taking the same curve at the same speed in the BMW. It may be able to handle it, and it may be because the car is still new to me, but the Stinger felt more planted. I think it is geared more toward fast cruising on the highway than thrashing around twisties or drag racing.

That's what I figured, nothing wrong with that, especially if you're looking for a comfortable cruiser that can still lay down some great straight line times. I bet the twin turbo v8 more than makes up for it. Any exhaust mod plans?
