I do miss the fuel consumption of the 335, the 335 was like living with Margot robbie, looks great, drank a bit and partied when you wanted it to, the c63 is like living with Lindsay lohan - very loud, burns out and drinks out of your locked liquor cabinet every day

More socks4pres pics plz
C63 Nice

I think that would be my choice too if I had to trade into something else. plus who wouldn't want to bang Lindsay hahaha

@R32 that’s a real bummer. I would be devastated. Wouldn’t mind my current one stolen though ‘wink’

Also the fb group is full of idiots tbh
Hhaahaha Hey Nick
Glad to see you are still lurking mate
I agree with most of what ur say... expect lots of the forum regs are also on the Aussie FB page (Vince posted link below)
I know I'm a idiot but the rest of the FB crew r ok hahha

Hey Ndy
Nice ride, white is always a great color. CF lip looks great too btw... A set of H&R sports springs will fix that ride height up

Agree E
3 series is already a classic
Will never see another over engineered motor like the N54 again
Maintenance cost will weed out the weak and flimsy leaving the true enthusiasts standing

Remus is a awesome kit... seriously tried hard to find a remus sports before picking up the vanguard

I don't want to think about the $$$ either, but am past the point of no return

Lol, within 24hrs of posting this up, u got more replies than any other recent ones.
Goes to show that there are still some around.

The forum is a great place to share ideas, Q & A, and help others. It's been quiet and will probably get more quiet because it's a 10+ year old platform, so there are many that have already moved on, jumped ship, different forums and fb groups. It's people like you that still try to keep it alive

I joined up 4years ago and at the time had already sold my e92, but met a great bunch of guys and gals on the forum, and have done so many memorable trips, track days and meet ups. And through this, have made great friends for life. That there is priceless.

Here's a link to a calendar list of events since I joined up...
