My New Ride....

Re: My New Ride....

i drove the 350 while looking. it had effortless fast acceleration. but i couldnt live with the small back seat & a 6 spd only came in the 250. still a very nice aggressive style.

^^^ agreed, the new IS is gorgeus looking and very well powered, I guess thats why, within a year of releasing the 325 + 330, BMW relaunched the 328 + 335's to compete with the Infiniti's, Acura's, Lexus's to stay on top of the HP game.

Now that 335 is just bloody ridiculous...... twin turbos with 303 ponies.... incredible if u ask me

Re: My New Ride....

the torque curve on the 335 is fantastic, full 300lb-ft right off of idle, straight through to redline

Re: My New Ride....

Picked up an '06 Nissan Xterra. I was looking for a used new-style Pathfinder but for the same price I was able to snag a new Xterra. It's actually a decent little workhorse.

do you drive off-road?

do you drive off-road?

Occassionally but I needed it more for work purposes. Driving clients around while still having something to haul things in if I needed to visit a vendor or something.

Re: My New Ride....

are you gonna mod that Lexus any ? I'm already building a list of things to add to the Bimmer.... few of them (in order of priority) are

Chrome tip exhausts
Blacked out front grill
Xenons w/ matching fogs
Trunk Lip
Rims (in the distant future)
Performance Chip (when the warranty runs out in 5 years)

Though I must admit that even for a vehicle with a mere 215 Horses, that thing is wicked fast (considering my aging TL)

if you get the performace chip installed by bmw, isnt that ok with the warranty issues?

i know acura will mod your car and keep the warranty running, but not sure about bmw...

Nah, it's fine the way it is. I'm more into modding our house than our cars. We spend such little time in them anyway that it'd be superfluous to spend any more money on them.
