If you couldn't buy the 1 ...

Ash83 · 07-14-2011, 09:32 AM

new 335i or used Boxter S

IS+1 · 07-14-2011, 11:53 AM

I would have kept my 2004 IS300. The plan was to keep the IS till the 200,000 km mark, but once I saw the 135i I had to have it.

My wife still misses the IS300... it was a great car, but it's no 135i.

Would've kept my '08 Acura TL-S 6mt

or

G37S Coupe/Sedan 6mt...if I could find one.

Surprised no one said Cayman S. Used ones are around 40k.

Tom K. · 07-14-2011, 12:26 PM

Having a 3 series as a daily driver, I would have either kept my '03 Z4 or replaced it with an '08 Z4.

I would have kept my MINI CooperS. I specifically bought the MINI as my "bridge" car to tide me over between an aging vehicle and reaching the point that I could afford a BMW. I fell in love with a 2000 330Ci in 2000, but couldn't afford it then. Ordered my first 135i in 2008, sight unseen, since it was so close in size to the 330Ci, but with 75 more horses under the hood!
