Introducing my 335i replacement!

Vegas_Sirk · 03-22-2009, 10:11 PM

Here are some quick snaps of the new ride

... I shot them in that old abandoned water park that you see on the way to Vegas from So Cal LOL

Thats right the car is in the LAZY RIVER

On the bridge going over the lazy river

spacedogg · 03-22-2009, 10:26 PM

Nice. Looks fast. How is the torque steer?

marty_mcfly · 03-22-2009, 10:34 PM

congrats man! you're brave for going there.... it looks haunted or something. everytime i pass it i just stare. was there anything in that building that says arcade?

would have sucked if that bridge collapsed while your mini was on it! haha

DougLikesBMW · 03-22-2009, 10:37 PM

Awesome, you lucky dog. She's gorgeous.

Damn, I am jealous.

Good photography too

Not bad at all .. The car is actually quite fast, and is a BLAST to drive. Makes the 335i seem boring in comparison. The ride is slightly stiffer, but I dont mind and even being 6'2" It quite roomy inside.

They dont make a GP in the new body style ... only the JCW ... which is what I got. Also you cant really tell from the photos but my car as integrated brake ducts on the aero kit, which is the new version of the JCW aero and was the first car from that dealer that had them installed

Vegas_Sirk · 03-23-2009, 12:49 AM

Thanks to everyone else for the nice comments!

Garduna · 03-23-2009, 01:35 AM

Looks very slick, congrats! I LOVE IT

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 03-23-2009, 02:05 AM

I guess that one way to make down-sizing better.

gonzo · 03-23-2009, 09:05 AM

Astro Black FTW!

Alot like mine. They did not have a JCW when I was leasing. It is next!

They are a hoot to drive. Darting through traffic and parking are great. I paid just under 27 and KBB builds out that it is worth that still after one year!

29.2 mpg here in Dallas.

The first thing I did were Eibachs. They sit HIGH. PM me if you are lowering...probably a dumb question looking at your 335 mods list, I found a great price. 6'2" here too and plenty of leg room. The car does not feel so small while driving.

I am sure you are already a member, but NAM is full of info.

Hooked on Minis for life. Be careful hauling ass over dips in the road. They tend to lift you out of the seat a bit.

Change is always good IMO.

ragingclue · 03-23-2009, 10:31 AM

I like it. It's nice to see people with Minis that don't look so effete.
