I've joined the club

I took my '16 Mustang GT to Carmax, to see about trading it in for a Corvette... Saw this car on the lot, and took it on a test drive just to kill some time while they appraised the Mustang. Ended up being a fan of it

It's my first BMW, and I'm starting to understand the cult following. Bummed that I couldn't get my hands on a 6MT, but at the same time, the auto seems very capable, and I've enjoyed letting it do all the gear management while I zip around

P.S.: Potbelly has a new flatbread gyro sandwich... s'gooooood

Congrats and Welcome! I'd be interested to hear some comparisons to the GT once you get a little more seat time. Been a fan of Mustangs since I had a 90' LX 5.0. Love my M235i more than any car to date. Never fails to put a smile on my face. Enjoy it!

Haha! Your story sounds so familiar. I traded my C5 corvette in for this little white bulldog called the 135i in 08.

Congrats and welcome

Good move! The ZF tranny is nice, it'll allow you to munch down a gyro and cruise easily at the same time.
