128i M-Sport to 335is

Matt 335is · 05-24-2015, 05:47 PM

I wanted to thank everyone on 1addicts for their help when I purchased my first BMW, a white on black 2012 128i M-Sport. Was such a fun car for the 8 months of ownership.

I didn't post much but appreciated reading everyones informative posts!

Coming from 3 previous Audis (2 A4s and a TT) the driving experience of the 1 was definitely superior.

I know a lot of large individuals here fit and love the 1 series but being 6'3" 225 I needed something a little bigger. I test drove the 2 series many times but didn't connect with it the way I did in the E82/E92s.

I bought a 2012 335is that was listed here (love this community):

It was between my 135 and a 335 - and I'm not a small guy, 6 even and, well, WAY north of 225. After driving the 135, I knew it was the one for me. Yeah it's a bit of a close shave over my head, but really, so was my 540, and my old E36 328. I did still drove the 335, and while there was indeed more room, it pretty much confirmed my decision to go with the smaller car. I rarely drive with any passengers, so back seat room and 2 doors is no real factor.
