Fairwell 335d. It's time for petrol.

zooberoo · 03-12-2016, 10:49 AM

After two and a half years in the 335d it's time for a change.

I have been paying attention to the excellent advice

provided by this forum so the replacement vehicle is:-

1. Petrol
2. Rear wheel drive
3. Not on run-flats

Here is a photo... I collected it this morning.

I'll post a comparison once I've got used to it.

Very nice, but many more photos required.

That's certainly a change, well done!

Very, very nice M4.

d4springer · 03-12-2016, 11:55 AM

Very nice! Of course you could have acquired a Smart car and still matched your requirements

jnismith · 03-12-2016, 12:32 PM

Looks lovely. Seems to be a big trend back to petrol at the moment.

Only while it's cheap at the pumps.......

But I wouldn't say no to an M car. Probably the only petrol I'd buy.

Your car is Gleaming, nice one.

Do you not miss the endless torque and amazing 40mpg of the 335d?

Yes. Until I put the M4 in Sport+ and floored it. What is this "mpg" you speak of?

A little less but not much. The last £1k was the hardest. I also got them to throw in service inclusive.

I have edited my previous post to show the full spec.
