Have'nt been on here in a while as im not sure how well owning an e92 instead of a e30 would go down :wink:

Anyway ive been the proud owner of an e30 318is for nearly 3 years now and used it as my everyday run around. Those of you who came on the tour and nipped over to the Isle of Mull will know the old girl was driven hard and stood up to it all without a single hiccup! The old girl was becoming tired though so I decided to look for something new so I could keep the 318is for a weekend car and a restoration project.

Bit the bullet and im now the proud owner of an e92 335i Msport. What a car it is never felt power like it! The e30 and the e92 are so different though that they can not be compared. Each has there massive benefits. Still love my old 318is to bits and hope to treat the old girl to some new bits and pieces over the next few months to get her looking new again! (Want to keep it completly standard though)

The new toys graphite grey, was looking for a le mans blue but that one and fell for it!

Glad ive kept the iS though, still an ultimate driving machine and i actually reckon a quicker car on these narrow twisty roads around here!

well there we go, a man with an E30 iS and an E92 335i just confirmed the iS is quicker around the twisties. This long standing case can now be closed.

335i, epic ride
