So the news is out that there will be no changes for the 2005 model year. So just for fun, what changes would you have made for this upcoming model year?

10000 RPM engine - that would negate the 04 1000RPM drop by a wide margin
18" wheels (for the blingy-bling)
bigger cross-drilled or slotted rotors - for bling, and to stop the 18s from spinning

thats all, for now

I would bring back the 10000 rpm again also I would agree with the post above on the bigger slotted rotors for the brakes.

definately some sweet looking cross drilled rotors....i was thinking maybe single exhaust positioned in the middle to cut down weight, improve exhaust gas exit movement, but still keep the symetrics in the back

What I'd like to see down the road is a NA inline 6 that can subdue an e46 no prob & an at most $10K price hike (I'd pay it). We would most likely have to give up the ideal "50/50" (49/51) weight distribution due to the bigger motor but then again maybe not. Ofcourse this is highly unlikely, but a man can dream can't he.

Huh??

You COULD have easily included it in your financing? Why didn't you?
