    Re: new ride

    Congrats.....So what model of BMW is that? I considered the 335Xi for a long time and was close to buying one, but then I test drove a new WRX Limited and had never drove a more fun car and went with that.

    Wow, are those 20's? Just sold my 19's from my last car and those look even bigger!

    Just hit 2500 miles and got some new rims on it (stayed with 17's; getting old).....

    very nice Mr. Townie!!

    I've considered getting a BMW and trading in my Camaro. But not sure yet, really love my Camaro and I don't think I could drive a BMW as then I'd be encroaching on Aaron's territory, and we can't have that lol!!

    Figured that was a 335i. My buddy just got the BMW 535xi msport and that thing is sick....he just traded his 335xi for it.


    Mdubb...sweet ride too...I want a Japanese truck...always wanted a lifted Toyota Tacoma. Wish they made that Honda truck in a longer bed and non-four door.

    Re: new ride

    Nice car Townie, I love the 35's. Not sure how someone could pick a WRX over one, must have white rimmed sunglasses, but I guess they are halfway fun to drive. 35 owns it in every other way.

    By the way, coming from someone who may or may not have been in a position to enforce such laws, get rid of those brake light covers ASAP. They were always one of my pet peeves, and I've watched a judge put 100% fault on the owner of them after getting rear ended. Huge liability, and the tickets are easy to write!

    By the way: tune, down pipes, intercooler, and you're sitting at 450whp. That 3.0 loves the boost.

    Got married April 16th in Cozumel man.....my days of picking up chicks are done. Was a pimp 9 day all inclusive at a 5 star resort.

    I see same ole Aaron on here..... the armpit of this site. Was hoping you went away by now...damn. Pretty obvious a new 335xi is quite a bit more than a new WRX....

    Ya new to new prices are quite a bit different. But the new 3/4 series suck. The 09-13 can be priced similarly, but if you want new then WRX it is.

    I don't know if i would call it getting old (even though I am old) as much as being practical. 20's don't bother me on something like a 1/2 ton truck where the tire is 30 - 35" so you still have 5 - 7" of sidewall. On a car like that where you only have maybe 2" of sidewall I would be constantly nervous about destroying a rim on our great roads. You cant dodge every pothole

    Yeah I was looking at a used 335xi vs a new WRX. I'd love to get a new 335xi, but was more than I wanted to spend and honestly the "used" scared me because of the lack of warranty; warranty was about to expire on the BMW. I posted a thread about the 335 and appears they are great cars, but if something breaks down out of warranty it gets pricey. Townie seems a bit more mechanical than me, so I bet he can deal with issues I could not.....I can do simple things like oil, belts, sparkplugs, etc. Forgot who on this site told me something that stuck "anyone can afford a German car, but not everyone can afford to keep one". And not dogging on your car at all Townie...I love the 335...I am just getting old and tired of taking risks.

    Aaron, glad we could just talk...so much more enjoyable Still drooling over my friends BMW 535xi msport...

    Yeah that was my issue why I gave them up...I felt every bump and crack on road, the roads in CO suck for potholes and ruined a few rims/tires, and unless I spent $3K on Volks I was not going to get a lightweight 19-20" like I could with a 17". I don't know what it is, but the older I get the more I think about things like this. I used to be all about looks on cars, but now I am getting all practical....at least I went with a WRX over like a Prius.

    And unfortunately the 335's reputation for reliability isn't so great. The engine itself is great, but between fuel pumps, coils, water pumps, it's got some issues. And shops will rape you to replace these parts even though thy aren't very difficult.

    If you got a Prius I'm pretty sure you'd be banned from here.

    Yeah I did my research and found those issues you stated and then called up a few BMW dealerships to see what they would charge to replace them....I nearly feel out of my chair at how much they wanted for repairs. 335xi I was going to get needed new brake pads and were nearly double what I pay for them on a Japanese car. Not sure how true it was, but they stated I had to get BMW parts as many have sensors that know if you used something else. The buddies I know that get BMW's get them new and then trade them in when warranty expires as it is a risk.

    Yup, that was right in front of Qdoba; had just washed the ride and remembered I had not got a pic with the new rims on (as I walked back with my burrito). I live right by there off of Belleview and Windermere.
