Default BMW 330

this guy pulls up next to me at the lights.. i'm a bit of a bait taker in the traffic light gp and it was quiet.. what the hell, i knew he was gonna have a go against this little jap sportscar...

so i beat him.. did just enough, 0-30 it was even then the S pulled on him like i'd stuck the nitrous on so i eased off and just stayed in front.

next lights he pulls up again, not a thing behind me but he goes alongside.. has another go, i beat him again.. it's interesting, initially he may just have an edge, a 1/4 of a car or so but then this gap opens up at an alarming rate...

third set.. he pulls up AGAIN.. right.. i'm gonna unleash the beast this time, as i hit 2nd gear i'm pulling away like fvckery..

childish i know but what a donkey.. 3 attempts, still not learnt his lesson.. morale of the story? 3 series beemers are rubbish bar the M3

he passed me in traffic and cut someone up later.. private number plate and damaged ego

at no point did he indicate

330i owners are a pain

they genuinely seem to believe they are in an M3 chaser

and always seem surprised by anything that stays with them, let alone breezes past

God help us when the 335i arrives

Driving drivel.

Rightly or wrongly I think of someone (man) who has bought one of these as not being very intelligent.

The 335i is actually meant to be a stonker

Is the 335 the pile of shat they had on 5th gear a while back? Or was that something else. Remember some ridiculous grav metre concocted in the car

Buy the top of the range or the bottom. Middle's for bores.

I have a similar prejudice against many similar 'received wisdom' purchasers.

Wasn't that the 320si and the "G" meter?

But yours is only a 2000. And not a BMW.

Yeah, yeah. They read in Autobore that owning any BMW is better than crashing a tanker on KY jelly into the Girl's sixth-form college changing rooms on Spanking Day.
