From the frying pan into the fire

So after 7 years of driving a 2006 E90 320i poverty spec I moved to the other extreme. Saw the car at Auto Atlantic on Saturday, signed OTP on Tuesday and took delivery last night of a 2009 E90 335i Auto Exclusive in Blue Water Metallic with the following options:

1. Xenons with beam assist
2. Carbon fibre: front splitter, rear diffuser and boot fin
3. Sat nav
4. Logic 7 Sound
5. Bluetooth phone connection
6. Rear electric blind
7. Rear side blinds
8. Sunroof
9. Electric seats with memory
10. M-Sport steering
11. Rear pdc
12. Auto dipping mirrors
13. Storage package
14. 18" wheels
15. Voice control
    

This was an impulse buy but the 320i was starting get on my nerves with all the issues. I was actually starting to hate driving. After one night and a 100km behind the wheel of the 335i I love driving again. Can't wait to leave work today to hear the sound of that six.

This is what a BMW should feel like. The 320i was my first taste of BMW and it almost put me off the brand. Now I might be hooked for life. My wife who wanted to buy herself a small car like an i20 or Polo, told me in no uncertain terms that she wants this car. I can make a plan to get myself something else but this is going to be her car.
