Default Time to move on

Hey guys,

Today, I have decided to move on from the Z community. From my 2012 Base coupe last year, to my 2012 Base Roadster Tonight, I have traded it in on a 2010 BMW 335i Coupe...in Jet Black. I don't know anything about BMW, but always wanted one. I had my Z, which was my dream car, and it was a fun ride, but it's time to try something new.

More importantly, I wanted to thank all the kind people here who answered my questions and gave me many nights of laughs and words of wisdom. The Z community is a special group, one I hope that BMW offers. I will be keeping an eye out for the next model of Z to come out in the coming years. It should be good.

Thanks!

Darryl

Darryl, it was good having you here, we always want members to stay with us no matter what car they have!!!

Not to be biased, but this IS the best and most active car forum, and BMW forums don't hold a candle to the awesomeness of this forum!


In any case, again, you're 100% welcome to stay, and I hope you do!

Post up pics of your new ride!

Lmao...youll be back in no time to the z, those bemmers are like a gentle fairy car, just shifting it makes me feel like ill brake the knob off, plus they brake too quick, its a fact. My friend had a 135i n55 engine or n54 the one with a single twinscroll turbo so he jb4-ed it + intake + intercooler+ downpipe+ tune. Drove nice but not Z nice. I think it was at 17 psi boost anywhoo out of about 24k miles he had that boost for about 800 miles and then the car just broke down, clutch went, problems starting the car wiers burning, bolts dropping out i mean we took it apart and put it together like 6 times to make sure that everything is bolted right and all, still new things kept going wrong. In the end he whent out and bought '13 black Z happy as a pervert in a ladies dressing room in a stock car. So if you wanna go there we will be waiting for you back here

Dude, Are you just writing for the sake of writing right???

OP
The BIMMER should be fun to drive. I myselff do prefer the Z as a STOCK sports entry but if you carefully mod a bmw with quality reliable aftermarket parts? You have a jr. supercar on your hands. Good luck and enjoy.
BMW's can be special cars in the right hands.
