Here is my (short) list...

135i > Keep my ZHP for another year > 2009 Face Lifted 335xi > 2009 Face Lifted 335i > Keep my ZHP until its paid for (should be 12 months to go at that point)

I've owned lots of "other" brands, and I'll more than likely only own one from now on. Honda and Acura, however, still have a big place in my heart...

Boo IS350 auto and no realistic way of turning off the "safty" aids.

I honestly do wish I had a second choice. Everytime I hop in my car I'm dreaming of a 135i. And I do mean everytime.

having a tough time making this decision too. i'm 33, married with kids, so my wife thinks i'll look immature in a 135 and would rather i got a 335 sedan to show a more serious, professional demeanor. whatever!!! i want a fun, practical car, which is the 135. if pressed, however, the 335 is the only other option for me.

I know you said Subaru was too "tinny", but you may want to have a look at the Subaru Legacy GT 2.5T or 3.0. Both have around 250hp and can be easily tuned to your liking. Plus, it's more of a grown up car than the wild child STI. Anyways JM2C good luck car shopping! :biggrin:

VW diesel. 200hp. 54mpg. At least you can afford to ride around in it if gas continues to go up...and great resale value.

Imola.ZHP · 06-26-2008, 12:14 PM

^ I have been waiting (forever it seems) for VW to release their "new" TDI cars. I might jump into one throughout my school career then come back to a 1er...

EDIT: wasn't "random" was not yet awake.
