AlexLah Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi all, Today picked up my new ride. BMW 330 (2004) with sport package and M3 styling. 18 Inch wheels. This car is freaking awesome!!!! A total new experience in driving, I am telling ya! When pushing the pedal to the metal it just not stops to accelerate, sick! Everytime I do a 100 meter sprint there is one big smile on my face. The sound of the engine, the G force what can I say. It is better then sex, ha ha ha . Will post some pics tommorow. I feel so happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upcountry Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Enjoy those 160+ mk runs on the straights, and thrilling mountain road curves! Mine is 11 years older, but still fun. But the depresser is that I have to upgrade my fuel system for ethanol or convert to LPG. The days are numbered for 100% 95 octane benzine. I know that ethanol presents a power and fuel efficiency downgrade, but yesterday someone said that LPG would bring 15% less power too. I hope they were wrong about that, since the engine was really designed for 97 octane. I'll always miss the tight cornering, super-tight u-turns, etc., but I really wish I could get a decent hybrid!

Maigo6 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I had BMW 735i in the UK, I wish I could afford one here, they are great cars. It was the best car I've ever owned actually. I think even second hand in Thailand would be way expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Felt the same with my first car, '91 Mustang GT when I was 16. Not better than sex, but probably responsible for me actually being able to have sex in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so happy! I picked up my new 2007 S-Class Mercedes recently, light bronze and i also installed it with custom CNC-milled rims. I felt like driving in a diamond-encrusted tank. Totally awesome. Other motorists kept gawking and staring at me and it felt great. Then sadly I woke up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareddiving Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Funny that everyone had Big BMW'S, Mercs, Audi's when they still lived back in Europe or the states, and now most drive a Jazz, City, Fortuner, Vigo, Isuzu.

This is true, but the Car Prices in Thailand are incredibly expensive for those models, I'd like an X5 BMW in Thailand, but have to make do with a Fortuner. The top X5 8,600,000 Baht. The Fortuner was 1,247,000 Baht. 7,353,000 Baht is a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyboy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 nice ride indeed!! A friend of mine buys 2nd hand BMWs from Singapore and sells them to dealers in NZ. The prices he picks them up for would be about a 1/5 of what you paid. But I guess thats part of the deal for living here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnyd Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 BMW. Is that a push-cart, ie does it have rear-wheel drive?-- Maestro Yes the 2004 BMW 330 is RWD. I just can't see owning one in Thailand except to put in a glass display to show to you're mates. I certainly wouldn't take it out on the roads, unless it was a rental. I wouldn't want it to get bent. GunnyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
