Man I wish had that second chance to get that car in a 6 speed.

Great car, nevertheless. It's extemely athletic, and a very neutral & forgiving car to drive hard.

I miss it.

Mine is an 04 6MT.. I drove it for the first time since picking up the BMW today. Yesterday was its 6 year birthday. It was actually hard to drive compared to the 335i. I forgot how crazy my clutch/flywheel combo was after not driving it for 2 weeks.

Bet you love the 335i's torque dearly compared to the tiny bit in the RX8.

Oh god yes.. driving the 335i for 1000 miles was so easy.. get the car to 80, put it in 6th, cruise for 100's of miles at a time... need to pass people, just give it gas and go around.. oh... and averaging 31mpg while doing so doesn't hurt.
I drove it back from the performance center.
As a daily drive car, it's awesome.
As a performance car, it's awesome (wish i had LSD though).
As a track car? I'd probably rag out the 8 all day long, lol.

I've never driven the 335i before.

I always wonder how good the torque feels in it, compared to high-revving cars.

And when you get it, then you'll want a faster car than the one you already have.

The desire & urge never stops.

the S65 and S85 engines are great and all, but I'd much rather have the TT v8 they're putting in the x5M / x6M, or a twin scroll single v8.
I'm actually hoping the next M3 is FI. BMW really has the right idea when it comes to forced induction. Small, fast spooling turbos for instant torque. Now, the N54's turbos are undersized, but if they were any bigger, the 3 series would encroach on the M3's domain. Check out jpsimon's turbo upgrade thread on e90 post, or the ASR 1 series that hit 178mph trap at top gun with upgraded turbos and meth injection (for reference, a ZR1 does at 184 mph, Z06 175).

There's more than enough potential to be had from the i6 to suit the M3, they'd just have to do the turbos right to keep it separated from the normal 3 series.

As long as I'm in town I'll make the meet. (and as long as its not a freebirds)

Chipotle is so much better than freebirds.

Nawaaz · 03-18-2010, 08:08 AM

I don't know how the hell I'm gonna break the 2 or 3 way tie that may happen in the voting outcome.

Any suggestions?

Lol! They're both good..they're very similar. Freebirds has more options while Chipotle is more burrito based (they also serve tacos). All three are great restaurants, I don't mind which one we go to.

Maybe the one with the best parking lot?

Wow Shady thats pretty sick.

Can you give some details on the rear camera / DVD integration with the navigation screen? I am very interested in doing this but curious about price, what to purchase, and who can install. (I have the '08 nav as well)

I've seen it in person and it's legit. I think if a few of us want it, maybe we could get a 'group buy' price from the guy since he'll probably have to fly out to DFW

aitsu · 03-19-2010, 10:13 AM

Wow, yea, that backup camera is pretty sick. Looks exactly the same as my friend's nissan.
Really looks good.

Btw, I'm bringing my D90 to the april 3rd meet for photos, so if you want pics, just let me know.

peter@wheelexperts · 03-20-2010, 10:36 PM

Just found this thread. Might be able to make it, with both the M3 and the Z06.

I think if it's the right price, a few members will want a group buy as well!
