BMW a Driving Obsession
A fighter jet is not "just an airplane." Yes, you can compare a Cessna 172 and YF-23 fighter jet as they are airplanes. But saying a BMW is just a car is technically correct and wholly inaccurate!
Great story on CNBC about "BMW a Driving Obsession" http://www.hulu.com/watch/312338

How do you like your 12 335is? Seems to be rare these days. Don't see too many on the road and kind of like it that way.

This is a great vid.
Ahh the benefits of living in New Zealand... barely ANY 335i's, only a FEW 320d's & 320i e90's, LOTS of e36 & e46's + lovely 98 octane fuel Like magic.

I live just a bit North of SF and have seen only two others in the ten months I have owned it. Amazing machine as you probably know. I am just not crazy about these new f models BMW is producing, in my opinion we got the last of the good ones. Enjoy your ride...

I watched that the other night, was cool. The part about Rolls was ridiculous as well.

LOL. The pain part...I hope not unless you mean maintenance! Then the pain comes indeed!

I did not realize that the BMW Group owned Rolls and Land Rover - before they got rid if it. Good show though. I guess if you get European delivery they roll out the suck up treatment. Glad Mercedes did not absorb BMW...what a different world it would be car-wise.

Since BMW is still pumping the "is" out I am assuming the sales are good. Car is fantastic! I wanted an M3 but went for the "is" instead. Prefer the trade off for gas mpg and horses. I opted for the overboost 370 ft/lb torque factor rather than the 295 of the M3. This car gets up and moves...stock!

In California BMWs are everywhere. Towards the center of the US - not so much. 98 Octane fuel....I wish it was that easy for find here. There are some 100 octane places around Southern Cal but they are few and usually a good drive away.

Thought 335is owners would enjoy this as well as M3 owners...as BMW is the "Ultimate Driving Obsession."
