Feeling the pull of a 35i

Hmm,
I’m going to get the engine, gearbox and diff oil changed in my car and then I think I’m going to list it. Might list it anyway, with a note that this is happening hopefully this week or early next.
Think I’m going to have to scratch this itch

Can you think of a reason why not?

It’s only the unpredictability (or predictability!) and potential size of repair bills, but probably going to join the lunacy
Wouldn’t buy without selling my current car first, wouldn’t be too concerned normally but conscious of the current economic climate.
What changed?
It was only the other night when I got the feeling you loved the car!
The quick drive in yours made me realise how different our cars were TBH - the 3.0l felt much more 'normal' to me, wheras the 35is has just a bit more specialness about it.... sense of occasion? Not sure how to say it.
They are not 'the same car' but a 'bit faster.'
Very different - make sure you want that before jumping in. That 'specialness' will cost you every time you put fuel in, and every service.
If I were 10 years older, I would likely prefer yours TBH.

I think I’ve come to my senses for the time being, been out in my car this morning and I feel a bit like 95% of the time I couldn’t really use much more power than I’ve already got on the roads where I live.
Car handles much, much better on the B12’s, so maintaining pace is much easier than before. I feel a little like I might regret giving this car up, especially if I had any issues with a replacement.
Think I’m going to stick for now

No but I believe we are kindred spirits. Both looking for a utopia that possibly doesn't exist. I put it down to being ambitious; never being satisfied and always striving for better (or at least different).pvr said:
Profound that, wasn't it??

It has the heated seats, parking beepers, idrive, chocolate wheels, good colour way, tiny milage ( good start).
Price is even more than I paid!!!
If it has cruise & heated wheel, maybe the speakers upgrade, and the history checks out, and you can get the BMW warranty on it - lots of ifs - it looks about as good as you can get.
Don’t think to long on it if you like it, I bet it’s sold fast.
