The ship docks in Port Hueneme on December 7th (17 days). It could take up to 2 weeks to get through customs and trucked to the dealer. I should have it right before xmas.

 

nice x-mas gift to yourself. Grats bro, can't wait to see her

 

i want a new car again!

 

i think me going to go test drive the cts this weekend... am tired of fixing da beamer all da time... she's been in the shop all week. german cars no age so well and not so nice on da wallet...

detrich is pissed

 

lol, way to crap on my new car!

 

don't worry, det's had that car for about 50 years

 

yeppers..

10+ years & 105K+ original miles & counting... LOL. Well, I was really just venting a bit. Overall the 3 has been very good to me. It's just annoying when I have to keep going back for stuff as she ages. And I'm just exhausted this week... But in all fairness, what 10+ year old car doesnt have problems?

Don't worry Roger... Your 335i sb fine.

 

oh ok, I feel a bit better now. lol

I was told that as long as I break her in properly, I won't have any problems.

 

8.0 mpg

 

Well German cars do tend to have more electrical problems as they age. And parts are HELLA expensive... BMW quality has gotten a lot better over the years. But, it's still a bit inconsistent.

My friend bought his 3 new also- a year b4 mine- a 97... He hardly ever drives anywhere cuz he works from home. And his car has literally fallen apart. Hes got less mileage than me & he's needed a new cat ($1200+) & a laundry list of things of expensive things. His radio/ tape player is like a vibrator LOL One of bosses at New Line leased a new 06 545i & same ****- right after the first year. They mustve just gotten lemons.

 

^^. The mpg meter is a joke... Mine has said 5 to 5.9 mpg (NOT mph) for the past 9 years- yet I get 21/18 LOL. German electronics- LOL

 

Once I got to 155 mph and stayed there for a minute my mpg increased to 15. Thats better than the rx8 at 80mph.

 

^ the bmw is a joy to drive though- i have to say. isn't it? i'm sure the 335i is a blast. well, got my 3 back from the shop today, but they realized that they forgot to change my thermostat. so, i have to go back monday.. again. @#$%^^ of course, my check engine light came on again on the way home... it's the inconvenience of dealing with all the trips to the shop that have started to annoy me... >

 

sounds like you need a better mechanic

 

I've heard from other people that german car's have "electrical demons." - I'm sure there is some truth to it.

As far as German cars, I've read that BMW is the most reliable. Although, it's still not close to being on par with honda or toyota.

 

I'll race ya when you get it.

 

You never been on a track Jedi. Your gonna race?

 

who needs a track

 

he will play mind games with you..haha

 

been to the track has this Jedi Master.
very wise are you Michael.

sssshhhhh, give away my secrets you should not.

 

i am a zombie and i love civics.....


wait a minute..i didnt say that!

 

haha!! you know you love civics

 

We did our 626 meet night run this past Sat night, and it was a blast. But, I do have to say tho that I'm really growing more & more disappointed in the lack of passing power of our cars. Down shifting just makes the engine rev louder & that's about it... LOL. With a 150+ lb passenger in the car it's even more a lost cause...

Other than that though, canyon carving is still a lot of fun... Just the power thing is frustrating...

 

405 = 3 am race track

 

just blow your car up so you can get a new one...

i know someone that did that
