Congratulations! I would love a 35D or even a 30D, but can't really justify or afford it.

I can't even begin to imagine just how rapid the 35D must be!

Thanks, coming from an E83 3.0d I just didn't find the F25 30d 'special' enough and wanted the extra grunt.

Having said that I did want a good spec and would've bought a decent 30d rather than a bare 35d.

The 35D is very potent machine and I doubt that there is much on the roads to better that performance.

For sure the 30D I used to have was more than adequate but I understand why you want a 35D.....more responsive and faster. Whilst 0-60 times don't say much about a car I find cars with a time around 6s is quite different to those that can do it in around 5s. 6s is quick, 5s or thereabouts starts to feel like a video game. The 35D is about the same performance as my old 335i vert. Great fun!

When are you expecting delivery? Did you get any discount?

Ranger 6 · 05-14-2015, 03:12 PM

Didn't buy new, so my 'discount' was a greater p/ex value.

Picking it up in a couple of weeks once the plate transfer is done so pics then
