Thats crazy I came across this thread. I'm buying at 335i this weekend. No trade in though so i'll be keeping my other vehicles.

I used to be a mechanic and still have resources available (tools, lifts, etc) so i'll be doing most of my own maintenance


wish me luck brehs:lolbron:

No tools with me bruh. Lost my tool set between moving out of school and moving back to ATL. Then you have to buy a special socket to remove the plugs because BMW wanted to get cute. It would be about $150 in parts alone.

Trust me, if this had been any other car I would have run up to my uncle's house and done them myself. Next time I have to do it I should have what I need to work.

Bmw spark plug tools are $20 on amazon :comeon:

Literally one of my favorite cars on the road and that I've driven.

The random bs though is just silly...


It's good you have the know how and set up.

I can't get away with a rwd bimmer in the tri state can I?

you can get away with it, but the question is "can you survive...?"

:laugh:

nah I never kept mine long enough to see winter, then I got Quattro again and never looked back at FWD & RWD.

don't get me wrong I love my RWD cars, just not in Jersey winter. The Z during summertime :noah:

every-time me and my boy had to go somewhere he'd leave his CLK home and I'd drive my A6 instead.

:sadbron:

I know mane, I been in the market for a new car for awhile too (I probably posted that shyt a few different times on here)

I just can't find the options that I want in the car that I want, and I'm the type of dude, that when I buy a car, it has to have the options that I want otherwise I'll walk away from the sale.

I hate seeing someone with a BMW 3-Series or any car like that without HID's or missing packages (sport, infotainment, luxury, etc...)

I look at the people like ":what: who you tryna fool breh?"

my girl just bought a CPO TSX, and when I looked it up online while she was at the dealership I texted her "what? no Navi?" :lolbron:

I know what you mean. It's like if I'm going to throw all this money it better be loaded or nothing.

Trying to find a 335xi loaded with a stick is near impossible.

:wow:

:ahh:

First year runs of the new body style almost always have problems. BMW are still better built and cheaper to maintain than Audis and Mercedes.

I know breh. I found a black 328xi coupe w/ red leather interior. loaded.

but it was a 328 :comeon:

Yeah haha I found two loaded 335xi sedans both sold within a week.
I found a 335xi coupe but it wasn't loaded loaded.
I found a really nice 328i coupe fully loaded cls wheels certified. Rwd :russ:
I guess I'll wait a few years till there are more on the market or I'll buy a B8 S4.

I see a lot of young guys over by me pushing the last gen M5 and M6 but they don't seem practical at all.

I found a B7 Avant I'm trying to buy this week or next. I'll let you guys know how it goes. It has a V8 and all that nonsense that comes with owning it but it has a brand new engine and was a one owner so it's well taken care of.
that c class black series is looking better everyday
Yeah they are beautiful, they're like 70-80k though.

:manny:
