I love it !!! No one cares about cops

Ah, nice! Brings back memories!

Actually, be careful- German cops are pretty strict about speeding (not on the Autobahn obviously) and will even show up at your house if you don't pay your ticket. Maybe if you're an American in the military, they will be more lenient though.

The Polizei dont mess around when it comes to speeding, but I travel these roads often and never see any so wasnt too worried. The Autobahn gets boring after a while, so its nice to find tucked away roads with very little traffic

Nice run, looks like alot of fun.

you at vilseck or graff? if so, snake road going from the two is badass to drive. i used to chase friends through there with our cars seeing who can keep up with who. be careful with black ice though. seen an MR2 flip like 3 times on that road.

Did you move from va to Germany? Thought everyone sold their cars before they deploy to buy cheaper German cars? Or has that changed?

Ansbach, but I know which road you're refering to. This year we havent really had a winter yet, so hopefully it stays that way. You ever check out the Nurburgring? Planning on doing a few laps mid April

Yes I bought my car in Va Beach, and brought it over with me. I got such a deal on it that I was certain I wasnt going to find another 335i in that price range so jumped on the opportunity. It needed a little work (injectors, brakes, coils, plugs, etc...) but even with all of that I still got it for well below its market value.

Looking at getting an s1000rr before going back to the states, theres definitely a huge benefit to purchasing bimmers overseas

StevenY. · 02-17-2014, 11:24 AM

That looks like a really fun drive. Nice video.

Hopefully it does stay that way. And no, when i was there i spent a good 15 months in Iraq, and another 8 months TDY in the US and Belgium. So didnt have too much time to do much but travel. Am trying to go back though.

To me the steering feels like any other BMW Ive owned/driven. This is my 4th one and theyre all pretty much the same from what I can tell

Gizm0 · 02-19-2014, 03:57 PM

Cool vid. Now practice on your heel-toe to make for quicker and smoother downshifts...

Thanks, yep heal-toe is definitely something I need to practice on. Only tried it a hand full of times and every time I either give it too much brake or the downshifts are very rough

Nice, what ssk is that?

Man I miss German roads. Looks like fun.

Its just a BMW performance knob with an alcantara boot. Works really well and is much shorter than the ridiculosuly huge stock one
