Goodbye to my 335i....

Hi all

Sadly parted with my E90 335i LCI this week.
I will miss it, but due to my work situation I was hardly getting to drive it.

After doing the wheels and suspension, I really liked the look of it. It all seemed to 'come together' just right.

I won't miss the somewhat unpredictable throttle/turbo lag though. On some days it was so responsive to the slightest pedal touch, and other days it would be relatively slower to respond. Could never work that out, even after so many years.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone who provided assistance all these many years, esp Hoper!

Perhaps see some of you on the X2 forum.... Yup, I did it, crossed over to the BMW X side

Thanks Socket. Will keep visiting the boards....I have to at least keep my 'Captain' rank

It took me 3 months to finally make the colour and trim choices on the new X2.

Never bought a new BMW before, and this one's being made to order for me in Jan 2019, thanks to my peculiar option selections

Congrats on the new car.
Selling the car doesn't mean you have to leave the forum
