So there is a new steed in the stables.
2010 BMW 335d
- Car was custom ordered with every option (except adaptive cruise) Guy changed his mine, car sat on lot for 7 months till we came along and snatched it up. Dealer wanted to get rid of it. Got rid of the G =( very sad and the RX350. I drove the g like a beast and it smelled of burning oil. haha. did burnouts, reved it up, u name it. drove it like it should have been driven. got a good deal and took it home.
- Having diven a 335i, the 335d feels so much smoother and faster. The torque is nuts, 425 ftlbs all around you. just tap it and you move into your seat, no downshifts, tach slowly goes up and the speedo just rises. it's crazy. i love it. Its gonna be a great replacement.
- I also test drove a Q5 2.0t today, a 2011 model. its ok, makes noise from the 4 banger, moves a little slower. 8 speed tranny is cool, shifts quick and a lot. kinda weird. rides the same as ours, handles the same. just not as nice or smooth. we were looking at an A3 TDI but none in stock. so yeah.
here's some pics, shes lovely. I'll take some with the DSLR tomorrow!
