Indeed why not! The way I see it, cars are my interest as well as a means of transportation, and given how much time we spend in them for getting to work each day, visiting our families and friends, and going on holiday, then might as well have a nice car to do it in and enjoy it all as much as possible.
Life is for living, and for me that means cars! Shallow and sad as that may be... I don't really care!

My cunning plan is to go for a 3-4 year old M3 towards the end of the year or early next year.... I'm hoping that the launch of the new one shortly will mean quite a few will be traded in and slightly depress the values from where they are now.
The C63 has to be the best sounding "relatively affordable" car on the road, but i've wanted a proper M car since I saw my first E30 M3 about 30 years ago!

I was in the c63 v 335d xdrive camp about a month ago, agree the cockpit in Merc's is not great, the sound of c63 is the best but in the end opted for 335d xDrive, also c63 200miles per tank if you drive sensible not fun!

Yup, and that's if you don't drive it hard. There was a guy on MBClubUK who got just 125 miles out of a full tank... 125 |

I think the old fashioned auto would put me off. I'm already finding the Z4 box a little on the slow side now compared to the 8speed one in the 335d. I never did before! So the M DCT would be a big attraction. Also, the OH knows how to use the Pro Nav system in a BMW so she would prefer both cars to be BMWs!

I know this is a long thread and I haven't read it in totality so this post may be out of place but...
Just got my new toy, a Linear PCM Recorder, so decided to record the car today - inside, at the speaker - to start research on the potential for piped sound. Like others I have a suspicion there 'may' me something gin the rumours depute others not finding the hardware. Check out my recording on the link below - let me know what you think. This is a far superior sound recording to the iPhone attempt to capture the exhaust note (that the first sound file on the linked page). I may do some more 'research' and record other sounds if anyone is interested http://www.mysharedfiles.co.uk/Image...5xd/Sound.html

Because I can I made a quick back to back comparison of the M135i Active Sound with the 335D recording from Mark (Uncanny eh?): Last edited by Pablo68; 04-11-2014 at 02:40 PM.. |
