Took 335i on trip up the I5

paulGT3 · 05-19-2007, 12:52 PM

Man this is a nice sedan. I rode in comfort while my wife drove the car up to Los banos to pick up a new Porsche 997GT3- we were running 95 -100 and just as stable as anything-Going through a desert canyon on the way back and my wife driving the porsche I pushed the 335 in the twisties and it was as planted as my 996 GT3 was
this is one NICE grocery getter!! a couple of WRX's came up and tried messing around and my wife just left them. That kind of suprised me. maybe a torque difference?

CASHBY · 05-19-2007, 12:53 PM

Nice.... please share some pics of the GT3

gonzo · 05-19-2007, 12:59 PM

Loan me some money..I'm good for it.

HyperM3 · 05-19-2007, 01:23 PM

You should be ashamed driving an x5 thats a year old already...

Swoop · 05-19-2007, 01:23 PM

haha Los Banos....i hate that place...We used to play them in baseball and football in high school.....

paulGT3 · 05-19-2007, 01:37 PM

We actually went over to casa de fruitas to pick it up not Los Banos.
One pic of the Gt3 is in my sig I will get some more pics later in this thread.
Those seats in the 335i are better than any seat I have sat in. bar none as far as comfort- I love that 4.8is since there is no 07 4.8is just a 4.8i I am sticking with this one. I cant get the X5 seats to match the position of the 335 seats that are only 8way sport seats and the X5 are 20 ways. I cant get the lumbar to be as good as the 335.

CASHBY · 05-19-2007, 01:46 PM

Just noticed you location is in mammoth.

what do you do In mammoth to afford a GT3?

paulGT3 · 05-19-2007, 01:54 PM

I have a place in Mammoth but I am not there all the time- I am an engineer and probably dont make any more than you guys I did however make some real estate purchases at the bottom of the market now those purchases are worth alot more and when mortgage rates hit 4% I took out some equity bought my first Porsche and sold that for what I paid for it -same for the 996 GT3-this is the first one I bought new with alot less options than my 996 so it was only 20K out of pocket for the 997.

Smart moves.... to bad the market right now is just at a dead stop.

I work for Lending Tree, and we have seen the values of homes droping nationwide.... of course im sure it will pick back up.

But back on topic.... Nice Car!

very nice car!!! congrats!

paulGT3 · 05-19-2007, 02:11 PM

Lending tree huh? I used you guys once. then when some guy in Chase found me in Mammoth he kinda manages our mortgages He was the one that got 4% told me when the rates changed and redid my mortgages. I would NEVER have been able to do it with out him and some dead blind luck in buying realestate. Its not Like I knew what I was doing.

continentalg5 · 05-19-2007, 02:58 PM

Wow, that makes me wanna sell my 335i and go into enormous amounts of debt for the GT3...it's stunning to say the least and I hope you enjoy both of your cars! Congrats!

m3rxn · 05-20-2007, 02:47 AM

beautiful automobiles!

BMWPower06 · 05-20-2007, 03:27 AM

That GT3 is SEXY

renasis · 05-21-2007, 02:09 AM

looks all your cars!!

SROC3 · 05-21-2007, 02:21 AM

final drive ratio and torque diff. Everytime they try to race me I never even bother. not worth the cops impounding me over a race with a rice rocket (fyi, I'm an ex-ricer too

).

Beautiful cars man. and I hope someday i have a wife like yours that appreciates cars as much as we do - and knows how to drive it too!!!! You are a lucky man.....

paulGT3 · 05-21-2007, 11:16 AM

Ironicly it has clear bra already.

Ado · 05-21-2007, 02:45 PM

Funny this thread started about the 335 but is ending to be about the GT3.

I absolutely LOVE the GT3. I can't wait to be able to get one.

Congrats.

homerunball · 05-21-2007, 03:33 PM

paulgt3, were you the one that was hauling a$$ heading south on the I5 late evening Sunday?

I was passed by a silver Porsche, he was coming up on me so fast by the time I tried to get out of his way, he was trying to pass me on the right.

boostedtwin · 05-21-2007, 04:26 PM

Nice cars you have.
