How is your Bimmer 335 doing? Any thoughts on what you want next? I need AWD here in the Colorado mountains so it limits my choices. I like the Aston Martins, but they are all 2WD and probably slower 0-60 than my Audi S6 with the Vantage V12 around twice the price. I have had 2 Porsches in the past and now also have the Mercedes C300 which is not very fast, but has AWD and handles well with the AMG suspension option. Advertising Guy has a C7 Corvette on order. They look very impressive, but they are 2WD too. The C7 is probably the most bang for the buck today. The Shelby Mustang is impressive, but 2WD and WHY are they still making Mustangs without independent rear suspension? Maybe I will wait to see if Audi will build a 600 HP RS6 sedan instead of that ugly Avant wagon style.
The ‘335 is great; such a sweet car. The comparison to the ‘335 another run-of-the-mill vehicle has to be similar to crop duster vs Stealth bomber.
Took it over the MdKenzie pass earlier this week on a business trip to the valley. Nice curvy road w/a few straight aways. Had it parked inside and covered for a week prior to the trip. It turned over slowly when I started it so I took it into the BMW dealer today. They said (I believe them as I don’t know any better) that with all the computers and servo motors running when the vehicle is parked that I was draining the battery. They recommended, and I bought, a 1.25 amp charger for the battery. Would you believe, as the battery for the ‘335 is in the trunk, that there are two terminals (positive is covered, of course, w/a sleeve) under the front hood to hook up the charger too?
Weather will be changing in another month. I plan to garage park and cover the 335 for the winter. My 2004 F-150 Lariat will be the winter car. I’m gonna hang onto the 335. I’ve only put 4000 miles on it since Spring so it only has a total of 16K miles.
