Went from a Prius to 2016 M235xi

BostonM235xi · 10-09-2018, 11:44 AM

Hey everyone new to the forum, returning back to the BMW world again. Past 6 years have had 3 Toyota Prius. Feels good to be in a BMW again! Pic below of my new ride -

hwntime · 10-09-2018, 11:50 AM

What were you thinking for the past 6 years?! LOL Welcome back!

stevenvillatoro · 10-09-2018, 12:02 PM

WB! What made you give up a trifecta of Priii and return to the dark side?

Zwei · 10-09-2018, 12:12 PM

Only 3 Prius's in 6 years?

Welcome. I'm outside of Boston.

BostonM235xi · 10-09-2018, 12:15 PM

I had 2 other BMW before 328 and M3 but I was driving a lot so getting a Prius made sense. Now I'm never leaving again lol

BostonM235xi · 10-09-2018, 12:24 PM

Hi zwei, honestly loved the Prius. Where in Mass are you?

Zwei · 10-09-2018, 01:44 PM

I've driven rental Prius's. They are good cars outside of lackluster performance.

I'm in Northboro.

morphomeman · 10-09-2018, 07:56 PM

Years ago, I was trying to merge onto a freeway uphill in a Prius with four passengers. I thought for sure we were all going to die. Worse acceleration than my 1980 Rabbit diesel.

BostonM235xi · 10-09-2018, 08:27 PM

Your right Morph, it was not a speed demon haha Now I have no issue getting onto the highway.

Sportstick · 10-09-2018, 08:47 PM

If, over 6 years, you had three views of a Prius, were you suffering from a Prius prism?

530iAndroid · 10-10-2018, 05:54 PM

So basically what you are saying is that in the last 7 years you went from heavy steering, to lighter steering, to REALLY light steering. :-P

BostonM235xi · 10-10-2018, 06:16 PM

530i - sounds about right lol making the jump has been fun as far as modifications. No modding on the Prius haha

Probably the best looking mod out there for a prius

That's a badass Prius

xantdieselx · 10-11-2018, 08:04 PM

Congrats and welcome back. You picked a cracking good car to come back in.

BostonM235xi · 10-11-2018, 08:29 PM

Xant- appreciate it bro, love the car. Like everyone else went mod crazy right away haha

I'm in RI so if you ever want to check out some twisty B roads hit me up. I've had my car since March 16' and can't bring myself to mod it. It's just such a well balanced car that I'm hesitant to change anything.

GrimJaw · 10-13-2018, 06:57 PM

Op I like your splitters/flippers. Are those the eBay carbon fiber ones just painted matte black or?

BostonM235xi · 10-13-2018, 07:53 PM

Hi Grim, I bought the CF front splitter, mirror covers and rear spoiler from Turner Motorsport.

amw896 · 10-13-2018, 09:16 PM

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need pics of the Prius.
