Default Farewell CL!

Hi guys, the time has finally come. I switched over to the dark side yesterday. Just wanted to give a quick thanks to all the people that I've done deals and helped me along the way. It's definitely been a fun 8 months since I had the IS350.

My new baby, 2015 M235i:



Once again, thanks to whole CL community!

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone that wouldn't upgrade to that from a 2IS if able.

Killer ride! Definitely something I've personally looked at in the past few months myself as well.

Thanks guys! Got a good deal so had to jump on it. Drives soo different than the IS350.

No set plans for mods yet. Other than tint this week, I MIGHT get a JB4 just to see what the fuss is all about haha

^What is a "JB4"?

Just looked at a white on black M-packaged 335i this afternoon; so tempting!

Congrats!

The placement of the ///M badge on the newer bmws confuses the heck out of me. At first i didn't know if people were sticking it on themselves or if it came like that from factory.

Congrats.

I am looking for another car myself, but I am keeping my IS350 and S2000.

Yeahh it's pretty much like the F-Sport of Lexus and the S Line of Audis. I think BMWs are trying to dip into that market.

BMW got so much bad press for the 2014 M235i haha. It had like 17 ///M badges haha - they called it down on the 2015 models

Congrats! I love german cars when they're under warranty only. After that they need to be dropped like a fat kid on a see-saw to avoid the monstrous repair bills.
Also im sure their deletion of a ton of badges is because the m2 is coming out next year.
