No boost? No problem! Get a bigger Bimmer! I was happy with my Integra daily driver, my RX7 weekender and my Toyota 4Runner because my wife was happy with her Accord. Fast forward to our second child and now the Accord isn`t BIG enough for two kids, a stroller and trivial stuff, you know, like groceries and shit! So I sell off the Accord and my Integra and I get her a BMW740i. 4 litre V8, 280 some hp bla bla bla. Vettes are a problem but not a stock Mustang GT! Hell, I can carry even three of my friends in air conditioned comfort or heated leather heaven (depending on the time of year) and still have enough on tap for Pontiac GTPs and Grand Am GTs! Posers!
So anyways, I couldn`t keep it in my pants and we now have three boys! My wife informs me that we have now outgrown the BMW! Oh crap! If that isn`t bad enough, she wants a minivan! I knew I shoulda got fixed! Anyways, the deal was I buy her the freakin`van and I sell the BMW because there is no way in hell I`m getting rid of the RX7 or the 4Runner!
Ok so I got her the van but I haven`t sold the Bimmer yet because I blew the motor in my 4Runner for the second time this summer. (no biggie, it`s lifted, big tires, purely an off-road toy) So I announce that I`m keeping the BMW for the winter. She doesn`t argue since I got rid of my beloved Integra so she could have a "nice" car.
Well turns out having the 740 was great when it was my wife`s car but it`s really bigger than what I want as a daily driver.
Anyways, all that to say that having a BMW is great, especialy a 7 series, but I`ll be dumping it in the spring for....................you guessed it, an R32 GTR! At 35 years old, I`m in the middle of my mid-life crisis so big powerful luxury cars are not part of the plan!
IMHO, even a 325 is an econobox. Don`t get anything less than a 5 series or else get the Skyline.
