Default Time to move on. Farewell to my CL brothers...

It's time for me to move on. After test drove the Bimmer new 335i twin turbo, I was addictive to that turbo power (300lb-ft from 1400 - 5000 rpm) and decided to take the route and jumped to the dark side. I may be suffer with the Bimmer reliability but hope I can really enjoy that twin turbo engine. I joined CL before I bought my car 8 years ago, I've learned a lot from this community, really hate to leave this big family after all these years

Just ordered my 08 E90 335i last week. I'm glad the GS4 still stays with the family. I'm sure she will be taken good care of with all the caring members. I joined the e90post.com just to learn more about the new car but let me tell you it's a jungle out there. That's a much bigger community with much younger generation. I'm sure I will miss all the civilized activities here on CL. I promise will come back and visit CL just to see all my dear brothers from time to time.

Here is the future plan I have for my new Bimmer, hope you'all like it:

best of luck...Im sure the new car is going to be a beast, and no doubt you'll mod it tastefully as you did the GS

Very very sad to see her go. Your car (along with Glen's GS) was my idol when I joined CL. Its a sad moment when your Idol retires. Good luck to man.

Looks like a nice ride man! Good luck! A twin turbo Bimmer sounds even more unreliable than a natural aspirated one but at least you'll have a warranty

Ultimate driving machines are pretty well built ... mechanically they are tuff!

Its just that Lexus has raised the bar on reliability .... and nobody can quite match it
