My 335i might be my favorite car yet.

Ever since they stopped asking real questions in the girl's thread.

For women, I think size 14 is pretty big... Do you think it's reasonable to say plus size is a size designers don't make?

According to wikipedia...

According to PLUS Model magazine; "In the fashion industry, plus size is identified as sizes 12-24, super size as sizes 4X-6X and extended size as 7X and up".

Seriously... who bothers putting this shit in Wikipedia?

Pardon me Ma'am... are you Super-sized or Extended-sized...

My buddy has an F30 335xi that he tracks with me. Hasn't had any issues and he has a JB4 on it. They must have upped their cooling game on the F30.

Into my wife's 335, hahahaha.

From one unreliable car to another. Love it! Haha

Pretty sure this is the chat thread. Good try though.

For the first 335 (E90), it was only unreliable as the HPFP went. Other than that, it was good.

Second 335 (F30), it had more gremlins. The LPFP recall, the HVAC crapped out, and the headlight on driver side decided to get stuck in an upward position.

Honey, why does everyone driving in our direction flip us off... while we are stuck at the side of the road... in the heat...

jtodd_fl - Size 14 for a woman 5'11" or taller is NOT the same as a woman who is 5'3" or shorter...

Just sayin...

TOTALLY with you... was quoting a source - it is a technical distinction. That stuff is all BS - it is all relative to the individual.

Edit: However, there is a reason Moo appears twice in that style of dress.

Haven't lived with an M, yet. Probably will change that in a few years.

Honestly, I don't track everyday, I drive and put miles. New M3/4 pricing, imo is atrocious. Yes, your getting a high performance vehicle, but it's not as practical or worth the extra $ imo.

That said, neither is a new 335 and actually any car in its category. I got mine for a steal, so I'm pretty happy. I would not pay sticker for my car.

Drove a new 911 for a week. Loved it.

Hahahah! Literally cracking up. But they happened at different times, thank God.

The HVAC issue was no fun. Dead of summer on a fucking road trip. I was so tempted to call roadside and tow the bitch. The black leather didnt help either.

I daily drove Ms for years and loved it. They are hardly track cars in stock configuration. Compared to a 911 they are plush luxury cars. I much preferred the E92M over the 911GTS for daily driving duty.

But i get where you're coming from. Sometimes i wish i was one of those people who viewed vehicles a just conveyance and nothing more so i could have a vacation house in Aspen. lol

I had a 2014 4S for a week, a year back or so. Back then I was driving my A6. This one had the 18-way seats, sports exhaust, and Bose-system so I it pretty much ticked all my boxes. Was really refined; probably as refined as the W222 S-Class and Model S. And I loved the steering and pedal feel. But yeah, for my current situation, I don't think it would be as practical.

That there are only a handful of cars that I'd pay sticker for, the 911 is one of them.

The thing with me is, I really like getting good value for my money. I've been blessed to have experienced both the bad and good sides of life. I've never really looked at things for the flash, more so for the workmanship, history, and usability. If I pay $50,000 for a car, I expect it to feel like $50,000. Paying above $40,000 for a 4-banger makes me cringe. This might just be my old man mindset, but that does not seem justifiable in anyway to me.

Like with watches, I would never spend my money on an AP, Hublot, Tag, Cartier. I would spend on a Rolex or Patek. I appreciate the later than the former.

Did you trade the M for a 911?

I wish I could DD an M car. I just drive too much. 22-25k miles a year is the deal breaker. So I'll always have to have one semi boring car. I think a 335/435 would fit that bill.

You have good taste, sir. Hit the nail on the head with the watch comment. Recently picked up a Tudor as I plan my Rolex purchase (I really want a Daytona but we know how the availability on those go).

Dude! Meant to tell you. I'm actually getting transferred to my local office, not even 7 miles from my house (working under a derivative management as the regions are being consolidated and the tasks are getting redistributed)!



So, the M will be leased without a problem.

Aatish - to your watch comment/analogy....if you buy a Tag at a steep discount and price point, does this not create value? A $30.00 Ironman Timex can tell me the same time/date a $15k Rolex will...And, even a broke watch is right 2 times a day Then again - I do not buy watches for resale value, however you may actively buy/sell watches.

I do agree with your workmanship comment - and I apply this to everything I do in life. From tools, to furniture, to home purchases, etc. This is why I build a fence, rather than pay someone to fence my property.

On the other side - I am also at a point in life where it is more financially sound to pay someone to do certain maintenance items around the house as opposed to using what little free time I have....
