Feeling the pull of a 35i

Post by True-Blue » Fri Mar 24, 2023 2:28 pm

I’m starting to feel the pull of the ‘Darkside’…. I keep having thoughts about buying a 35i :cry:

My head tells me it’s potentially a terrible idea, especially for my bank balance… but my heart is starting to win

On the Plus side, I’m not in anyway considering a ‘Jaaaaag!’ (You know who you are :poke: )

Given some of the prices I've seen them go for recently, they seem a bargain right now. Very tempted myself tbh!

This is a well looked after one, and the bonus of new bmw turbos :thumbsup:

Previous owner was very gentle with it and it got very limited, easy use for various reasons

    Not sure that an owner who states 20" alloys for 326Ms is to be trusted! :tumbleweed:
