I've been riding her for sooo long and still...I have a blast :)
Angled driveway in sight with a 20% incline....!
Wife: Can you make that? Me: Yeah, I am not that low dear She is a bit worried from time to time from how low my car is. Wife: Those new BMW's look good Me: This is not a Just a BMW, it is "MY BMW" I will hold on to it for a bit more ughhhhh....How can I explain to her that my car it truly is an extension of who I am. How can I explain to her that I don't count the ticks on the odometer. That no matter what its book value is now, its centimental value is priceless to me, drove both of my newborns home in little coupe and I kid you not my 6 Year old calls my car "snow white" and gives it Hugs from time to time????? that last bit really does it for me when I see her doing that...lol but today I got in my car and I took a good look at the Odometer which I sporadically do other than glance at it and write down a number which is relevant to proper maintenance of oil and rest of the vehicles components. 120000 WOW...! Where has the time truly gone....! All these mileages and it still puts a smile on my face. I am a true believer that 2 cars are never built the same, the sum of all its parts, different parts made in different batches etc. and so I declare when it comes to my 335i = The most fun, most "Reliable car I have ever owned and will keep on owing" Best regards.

Guess I'm the only one who doesn't give a crap what you do to your car. You like it so good for you, I personally don't but I respect what you do to your car. Now on the other side wow 120k miles ! More details on maintenance or Any major headaches?

your car looks good, the n54 thing is nice, memories make a car great.
m badge? always triggers a little hat on non-m's.. to be expected even with the n54 glad its still treating you right hope it lasts another 120 |

Yes, 120K Nothing major, 2 HPFP per dealers advice due to hick ups. Turbos were also replaced after I complained about the WG Rattle, they performed software upgrade and that didn't fix things so they decided to replace my turbos with the units that had the upgraded WG arm, the turbos themselves were in top form. |

Either way, the car stays put in my garage, I Will probably add one of the upgraded turbo options out there, 80% most likely it will be a twin upgraded option but I will wait another year to see what the Vargas stg 3 units do against the RB's and how well the active autowerke perform. |

You let your kids draw all over your car and climb on it? You must really not like your car very much. I agree with everyone else, that fake M badge has got to go, unless you put on a turbo badge and a hybrid badge to go with it
As usually, the wife is always right, your car is starting to show its age, it still has the old i-drive for crying out loud. Its time to say good bye to an old friend and get a new car, this time, please do not stick on any fake M badges unless its from the factory |

Great to see your kids having fun with your car and she tried to make a nice red diffuser too...lol
btw..Nice clean car. N54 is innovative and nice touch:-) however, i would place the M stripe at some another place, but its personal choice. I'm wondering what kind of BMW enthusiasts would your kids become when they grow up :-) |
