Enjoy those rides boys. Good stuff in here.
San Marino Blue is my favorite, but I warmed up to the Estoril when I saw it in person. It's a unique shade without being a huge attention-grabber.

BMW is kind of strange when it comes to which colors you can select.

I did not follow this strategy, which is why I'm getting a 235. :D
435's look pricey. $50K. Yowsa.

I got to keep it at $40K. I can go up a couple of thousands but not $10K. I still have a 11000 lb boat dock and lift that needs something parked on it other than a pontoon boat.:rolleyes:

Eh, that's only ~$130/month. :)

Really? Back in 2005 when I bought my Mustang it was $150 a month more for the 8 cylinder model. I figured with inflation and increased repair costs it would be much higher.

Their website shows 3.1% interest (they might even beat my bank)... they also come with a maintenance free warranty for 4 years/50,000 miles, which I don't think existed anywhere last time I bought a car.

Having just gone through this process, I'm full of rationalization and I'm happy to lend you more as needed. :D

NOOOOOO!!!!

If you go three series - ABSOLUTELY do NOT go w/ 328 - go ahead and get the 335 - PLEASE!! Bearcat meant use that method w/ the new releases - such as two's and fours - you go three - you MUST go 335 or you're just downright robbing yourself of huger power differences - the same formula bearcat metioned will not apply to 3 series - it's 335 or m3 here.

I have to rule shit out. Do due diligence, right?

I've only drove the Mercedes.

What should I do first?

Simply Red 02-09-2015 07:57 PM
and 750's are Yachts. Stay away - they're HUGGGGGE.

Simply Red 02-09-2015 08:00 PM
BRC - let me level with you.

Simply Red 02-09-2015 08:03 PM
I've owned the following cars:

Infiniti Qx4 SUV 1999
2000 Mercedes S500
05 Audi 1.8T - Tuned
06 Audi 3.2 straight six A4
2 Infiniti Fx35's
a QX56
and older acura's and Q45's
and finally two BMW 335i's - low mileage 07 and and 09 -

Now I have a 135i and that M5 - and I will look you in the eyes and tell you - The 09 335 was the funnest car out of all of them - The M5 is close - but just not as nimble and not an outright 'WHIP' - that tuned 335i was absolutely a sick vehicle - and by the way - faster than an m3 after tune.

Simply Red 02-09-2015 08:06 PM
even a guy in a 911t thumbed-up me - when we pulled. We raced as best as we could - I got him for a while in the 335 - also - I beat the crap out of an s4.

Isn't the 328 the same 240hp engine as the 228, with some added weight? The link says 180hp, which would most definitely suck, but I think that's on the 320.
