Time to move on
 

Hey guys,

Today, I have decided to move on from the Z community. From my 2012 Base coupe last year, to my 2012 Base Roadster Tonight, I have traded it in on a 2010 BMW 335i Coupe...in Jet Black. I don't know anything about BMW, but always wanted one. I had my Z, which was my dream car, and it was a fun ride, but it's time to try something new.

More importantly, I wanted to thank all the kind people here who answered my questions and gave me many nights of laughs and words of wisdom. The Z community is a special group, one I hope that BMW offers. I will be keeping an eye out for the next model of Z to come out in the coming years. It should be good.

Thanks!

Darryl

Darryl, it was good having you here, we always want members to stay with us no matter what car they have!!!

Not to be biased, but this IS the best and most active car forum, and BMW forums don't hold a candle to the awesomeness of this forum!


In any case, again, you're 100% welcome to stay, and I hope you do!

Post up pics of your new ride!

Thanks man! Yeah, I'd love to stay and shoot the sh*t about general stuff.

Here's a couple of pics.

You didnt happen to be the vert that drove past me Tuesday night in Aiea were you?

enjoy your new ride and drive that hard too

This is a classic case of car ADD.

Good luck and thank you for your 34 posts.

You'll be back :tup:

Lmao...youll be back in no time to the z, those bemmers are like a gentle fairy car, just shifting it makes me feel like ill brake the knob off, plus they brake too quick, its a fact. My friend had a 135i n55 engine or n54 the one with a single twinscroll turbo so he jb4-ed it + intake + intercooler+ downpipe+ tune. Drove nice but not Z nice. I think it was at 17 psi boost anywhoo out of about 24k miles he had that boost for about 800 miles and then the car just broke down, clutch went, problems starting the car wiers burning, bolts dropping out i mean we took it apart and put it together like 6 times to make sure that everything is bolted right and all, still new things kept going wrong. In the end he whent out and bought '13 black Z happy as a pervert in a ladies dressing room in a stock car. So if you wanna go there we will be waiting for you back here:tiphat:

What?

no.

Dude, Are you just writing for the sake of writing right??? :wtf2:

OP
The BIMMER should be fun to drive. I myselff do prefer the Z as a STOCK sports entry but if you carefully mod a bmw with quality reliable aftermarket parts? You have a jr. supercar on your hands. Good luck and enjoy.
BMW's can be special cars in the right hands.

[QUOTE=UNKNOWN_370;2212768]Dude, Are you just writing for the sake of writing right??? :wtf2:

Dude i dont post alot and when i do i mean what i say.

:shakes head: 2012 for a 2010 and not even an M series at that. Upsetting I tell ya!

I don't think so. Where exactly?

Thanks! As hard as Honolulu traffic will allow! lol

I agree with that. Get a used M series or something, don't just switch to a more-expensive-to-maintain vehicle. to each there own I guess. and the beemers are beyond sexy. I want an M6 though. With carbon fiber interior. Unless you need more seets I guess :tup:

Enjoy her OP! :tiphat:

It's quite an annoying thing to be honest with ya. lol.

You're welcome! :icon18: Most of the time, I'd rather have read then contributed. Most of what I wanted to say had already been said by someone already hot on the keyboard.

Thanks. I didn't mod the Z (except for the stereo) so, I don't know how much I'll mod the Bimmer. The car is plenty fast right now the little I've driven it (from the dealership to my place). On top of that, there aren't many go fast spots here in Hawaii without me constantly looking over my shoulder for the PoPo. lol

Yeah, it looks that way on paper, but for me, I'm still getting a lot of class with just as much tech in the car. It looks like it will suit my needs. The M series honestly was just out of my budget for about the same years.

:tup:

Good luck with the 335i. I think many here crossed shopped these two cars before deciding on the Z. The 335i has always been that car in the back of my mind. I'd love to hear your impressions and comparisons.

Good luck with the Bimmer! As a past owner of 5 Bimmers (2 M's), and a current owner of one, I will take my Z over them all anyday:driving:
However, I did miss them, so got my current one to go with the Z.
They are expensive to maintain, unless you are a DIY kind of person. Look up indy shops there in Hono called A&A Motor Werkes and german Auto Specialist. Great shops!
Oh, and juice box that bad boy and have some fun!

You were turning up past Anna Miller's. Well maybe you lol.

Wait, was this last Saturday?? I do remember now I saw a 350/370z coming in as I was coming out. Small island! :icon18:

Definitely! I've always been curious about them, and this model in particular looks bad a s s to me, so I said, "why not?".

I just gave the car back to BMW today to detail since I took it home the first night without a proper take home wash and wax, so initially my first thoughts are...

Pulls very decently. Smooth trans (AT). It's a lot quieter (by my aging ears), takes the many potholes and rough roads a lot smoother then the Z. It's nice to have a back seat again, even if I can't fit normal sized adults in there for more then quick jaunts. I have a TRUNK, and a big one at that. Only been able to drive it probably 2 hrs in the less then 24 I had it.

The bad, or perceived bad...

It's not a Z. The Z is a special kind of car. The stereo is very non-standard, so my Kenwood DNX9990 or whatever it is won't fit. There are too many bells and whistles I need to figure out, but once I do I'm sure it will enhance my comfort or convenience.

That's it so far. Like this site was, I have a lot of reading and questions to search out before I begin to mod the car. BMW wanted $495 to tint the car, I thought that was a little much to be honest.

Thanks for the info! I'll check them out over the weekend and coming week.

Bye bye

Thanks! Enjoy your new ride :tup:

[QUOTE=DOOMMONKEY777;2212800]So BMW's have faulty knobs?

What is braking to soon? I'm so confused there.:confused:

The rest of it, from what was barely legible... Just sounds like your friend doesn't know how to mod and screwed a lot of shyt up himself..

I know the TT N54 was unreliable. But the N55 TSST??? There's a lot of holes in this. I'm far from a Bimmer fan but... There's a lot off here.

He was the mighty god of lurking. LOL

:icon17:

you should get the M series !!!! however, good luck hope to see you bounce back to Z again with 2013 Nismo or 2013 with AMS kit because it is very different scenario between driving Z compare to BMW 3.

Later bro. Enjoy the bimmer, don't forget your Z brethren at this forum.

A new car every year. Nice.

Aloha & Enjoy that 335. Give me a shaka sign if we pass each other so I no it's you :tup:

Good luck!

Bring More Wallets
 

Good luck with a Bimmer, bro. You do realize that they have atrocious reliability ratings and are insanely expensive to service, right? FYI, brake job per axle at BMW dealer is $1,200. Waterpump replacement = $1,200. Run-Flat tires=$450 a piece. Oil change=$150, etc., etc.
