What else do you drive?

rowsdower · 02-23-2019, 11:35 AM

We had a thread recently about what you would replace your 1er with, and the consensus was that there really isn't much out there that checks all the same boxes. So, a similar question - what else do you have in the stable to supplement your 1 series?

I had a Tacoma but hated it, now have a 6-speed Mazda3. It isn't as fast as my 128i but has enough power for a DD (184hp), handles pretty well, and has tons of features missing from my 128i. The shifter is excellent.

My other car is a 1983 BMW 320is. This car makes me feel like twenty-something. It's quite fun.

sixburgh · 02-23-2019, 11:55 AM

Of course I did an engine refresh after thirty-five years of service.

zx10guy · 02-23-2019, 11:56 AM

My garage inventory:

2019 Toyota C-HR LE
2013 BMW 135i
2009 Ducati 848
2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

MightyMouseTech · 02-23-2019, 12:46 PM

2010 Civic Si Coupe. Track slut/winter car. Wish the BMW was as reliable.

PA135ii · 02-23-2019, 12:53 PM

My winter beater and daily driver.

Dalecan · 02-23-2019, 01:14 PM

Here’s my lot. Some would say I like the color red!

blue135 · 02-23-2019, 01:59 PM

2010 Colorado Crewcab ZQ8 (1" lower option) w/V8
2015 Lexus RX350
2008 135i E88 w/Dinan S3

Each serves its role very well. Problem I have is I cannot find a replacement for the 135 or the Colorado that might be acceptable

Just the 1er DD & the wifey's mini-utility vehicle

The 1er is my one and only.

Here's my other...damn fun car since it's set up for autox and track... Magnets are used when attacking cones, you know they give you HP...

Rmtt · 02-23-2019, 08:07 PM

My 128i was my new daily. My weekend car is a a 2008 Z51 equipped Corvette with some mods that I've had for awhile.

Always had Corvettes as weekend rides.

My wife drives a typical SUV.

LOL. I wonder which one? LOL. I've gone back and forth about keeping it. I know a few people who would love to buy it from me because of the condition it's in. But I just can't seem to let it go. I've been having a hankering on getting a BMW S1000RR. I've had the pleasure of running the RR on the track and the more seat time I have with it, the more I want it. But I can't justify a third bike. And it's hard to choose which of my current bikes to get rid of. There's still something about the 10 that's hard to replace. With the 848, it's the V-twin roar and all the work I did to the suspension with a full Ohlins set up and springs set for my body weight.

Decisions, decisions.

Craig in Alabam · 02-24-2019, 11:53 AM

ZX10guy,

I understand the dilemma! I used to have a 900SS SP and it started my love of V-twins. Intoxicating! I've also done a couple Keith Code schools at Barbers on their S1000RR and that is an incredible bike. But I decided that, for me, it would be wasted anywhere except on a track. Actually, with me most of it was wasted on the track anyway, but I digress...

I just sold an '84 R100RS and replaced it with the mini-duke. I've only had it about two weeks and the weather has been horrible here, so I've only put about 90 miles on it. But I think it's going to loads of fun for our typical back road rides once I get past the break-in period.

I'd keep the ZX10. Sounds like you've got it well sorted out and it's already in the garage!

Cheers!
Craig
