Do it!

04-06 sti's where awsome! 07+ have crappy factory maps and pistons. If you want an 09+ I'd just get a WRX. Couple mods and your 300whp.

^ 09 wrx still have crappy trannys. If you think you will mod the car, save yourself the headache of repairing or swaping in a 6 speed and just buy the STi from the beginning. Trust me on this one...

P.s. Welcome

Will you get rid of your 335i? Thats a fun car too. My wife has a 3 series, I enjoy everything except the maintenance cost on it.
