Hello Hyphen

[e90m3]

Hello hyphen, looks like I am going to be making the transition here once we lose oppo proper. I fully intend to keep up my unnecessary car shopping and love of all things E9X.

[davesaddiction]

Such a beautiful car. Does your betrothed like it as much as you?

[e90m3]

@davesaddiction She understands what it does for me and that I like it. Also understands my want for a garage for it. It helps her dad is also a car person, so she's got a basis for somethings. Her dad actually had a 6MT E93 M3 for a couple years.

[davesaddiction]

@e90m3 Nice - has he driven yours yet?

[e90m3]

@davesaddiction He has not, but I did take her parents to the airport in it a few weeks before we got engaged.

Howdy Mr. E90M3

@e90m3 hey man, just wanted to congratulate you on your engagement, I think I missed the announcement post on old oppo. Looking forward to more M3 content!

[e90m3]

@dawrx Thanks man! I appreciate it! I also intend to try and drive the M3 more, so I'll keep the M3 content coming, once I figure out my CEL.

Well Hemlo Thar

Hey there! Dig the car, I learned to drive stick on a silver E90 335i. Can only imagine that revvy V8 is a great time.

[e90m3]

@spacekraken It's a load of fun. My dad has a 135is, albeit a DCT, so I've gotten a decent amount of seat time in a turbo I6 BMW, but there is a some great about a V8 that revs to 8300.

[CarsOfFortLangley]

@e90m3 the want for a garage is real. thank god we found a place that she liked with a garage

[BeaterGT]

Welcome!

[e90m3]

@carsoffortlangley I told her that me having a garage spot was a non-negotiable in us buying a place. I think she's on board, I was also upfront about that very early on.

[CarsOfFortLangley]

@e90m3 I told her that I required parking for "at minimum 4 cars". Which...didn't go down as well

[e90m3]

@carsoffortlangley I'm not pushing my luck yet, once we pay off some med school debt though, I could see me having 3 cars. I plan to keep it at two unless someone offers me an E34 M5 at a price I can't refuse.

heh - pick the right specialty and make it go away fast! Or slow if you pick something else.

[e90m3]

@vincentmalamute We should be alright either way. I've got no debt, so we shouldn't be too bad off.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

Welcome to the hyphen! So much unnecessary car shopping to do!
I'll start you off!

[e90m3]

@whoistheleader I would've loved one of those when I was 20, now I would say it doesn't have enough power. If I'm spending my own money, it needs to be a 325i at least.

[RallyDarkstrike]

@e90m3 Hey! Was hoping we'd see you over here....glad to have you with us!
I think I missed your engagement announcement too.....congrats man!

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@e90m3 That's why I'm starting off with slow and low powered cars to begin with. 136 horsepower is plenty if you know how to use it. One of my all time favorite cars has 30 hp so that seems excessive by comparison.

[e90m3]

@rallydarkstrike I wasn't sure when I was planning on transiting over, but I figured I might as well do it sooner rather than later. There are going to be some things to get used to. As much as we all bemoan Kinja, it was actually a pretty great platform. I also seldom had issues with it.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[e90m3]

@whoistheleader It's more of driving in modern traffic.
