Just bought Black Saphire Metallic M235i

Demetrius Joel · 07-10-2014, 02:57 PM

Ok so recently I got in to an accident with my 2012 328i, ran over a curb avoiding a jack rabbit. The insurance company and BMW just got back to me and told me it's a total loss. Completely blew my mind. So I pulled the trigger and bought an M235i. Test drove one a while back and loved it.

What else can I expect from the 235i? Anything I will miss from the F30 328i?

You'll miss the run flat tires and lack of horse power.

You'll miss being bored and the flat plank dashboard and nightmare interior design of the e90

And having less than 300 HP

Haahha fair enough. Can't wait to pick her up.

You'll miss the guilt-free conscious of someone who avoids small animals from now on

Did the jack rabbit remain at the scene to verify your claim?

hahaha. I'd say he did you a favor. get a new car out of the deal :/

Yeah I guess that's one way to look at it.

Congrats on an excellent choice! 6MT?

Another advantage: The front end is low enough to aspirate the jackrabbit up front and eject it as hasenpfeffer at the rear.

No 8 speed. I'm a city guy, sad I know, lol. Haahha next one is mine for sure. No more swerving.
