Missing my 335i

myboris · 10-23-2014, 08:46 AM

Been on holiday in Turkey for 9 days and the only thing I'm looking forward to when I get back is driving my car. Never had that feeling with any other car. Hired a Renault Symbol ( what ever that is) while here. The 335 is my first auto in 35 years of driving. I now dislike manuals ....... a lot

Its good to get a break from driving your own car every now and again. Makes you appreciate your car all over again

It certainly does, I adore my car

It's great to have an auto in stop start traffic but I find myself constantly in manual mode with my DCT. Not having to do the clutch every few seconds is great. Keeping the revs low in the busy slow moving traffic. I do hope DCT becomes standard in the coming years because I never want to settle for anything less.

I still look at my car every day, which I've had for 7 mths and think, what a great looking car! The drive is superb and thanks to a few minor mods the power is way too much for any road in the UK.

I love it too!

I'll be in Bangkok in 2 weeks. I wouldn't want my 335i there! It's more like dodgems!

I personally think that it would be a sad day if all BMWs were auto

I had a similar experience, I was in Florida for 3 weeks driving a Nissan Murano.

When I got back the first thing I did was open the garage door to check on my M3.

My missus just shook her head and walked indoors.

While away she caught me looking at a photo of it on my phone and commented about why didn't I have a picture of her on my phone.

I'm not as smooth as that. I think I said something dodgy like the M3 was better when it came to sliding up the back roads.
