Buyers Remorse

Poosik · 02-21-2017, 01:58 PM

So several months back i crashed my 2009 jr tuned abc deleted 335d.
As a replacement I got the 2015 cts v - 6.2L supercharged v8.
After driving it for a little while now, I really really miss my old little bimmer.
In comparison the 335d is really a great car cuse its a "drivers" car, you get a much better feel of overall dynamics. I just never really understood how great the 335d really was until getting a car 2.5x the bimmers price and having a less enjoyable overall experience.
so morale of this is drive safe and enjoy- you guys really have an amazing car.

Well said sir, respect.

There are plenty of things I would change on this car that seem to be standard on newer cars, but I will say this is an absolutely amazing starting platform and I plan on keeping it for a long time. Also, I envy your car. A supercharged V8 in something as nice as a Cadillac would be a blast. But like you said, BMW is a "drivers" car. I see Cadillac as more of a "driving" car. It'll get you where you want to go nice and comfy, and balls to the walls fast, but the dynamics aren't the same. Maybe one day you can come back to the dark and smokey side.

I'll swap rides with ya for a little bit, we can do that turo thing and you can remember the good ol' days, I love the idea of the cts-v but haven't driven one yet, I think it leans more to the comfort and luxury than the Bmw does, but I have never found any of the fun bmws to be that luxurious. Though compared 370z it feels down right pampered!

If your feeling nostalgic, you can buy mine

It's up for sale (sorry for the shameless plug) in the classifieds

Hey OP - I understand your position more than anyone.

I have a modded 335d and I also have a supercharged E9X M3.

The M is a BLAST to drive, but most days now - the M3 just sits in the garage......

Three is a reason many car reviewers have called the e90 steering the best power steering system of all time in terms of feedback and feel.
