I drove a 335i Gran Turismo...and I really liked it.

It's wonderful to drive. When you're driving, you don't have to look at it.

More than a 335i Touring?

Haven't driven one of those yet!

Other than the exterior styling, the 3GT is a very nice car.

The problem is that the wagon is exactly the same price, and better in literally every way, save rear seat legroom.

If you're going to be chauffeuring, go with the GT. Otherwise, from the voice of experience, go wagon.

We did, with a 328d Sport-line, back in June.

Hey man, I'm getting tired of driving my car in the city and I was wondering if you might be able to recommend any spots close to the city like in Westchester or even NJ (that aren't like 3 hours away lol) that I could take my car out before the weather gets too shitty. I'm not looking for speed but rather some nice twisty roads. I'm in the Bronx if that helps narrow any spots down, I figured you'd be the best person to ask as I know most other NY Opponauts live pretty deep upstate.

Go to Harriman State Park, explore, profit. Lots of fresh paving, no houses, and if you go on a weekday it's basically deserted. Bikers and hikers take over on weekends during the day, so go early if you plan to visit on a saturday or sunday. Enjoy!

It's funny you mention this, my friend's been trying to get me to go hiking with him there for about a month, maybe I'll try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Thanks for the info, I'm just tired of my only driving enjoyment being that big ass bump on the West Side Highway before the 95th street exit.

HAH! I live on the UWS and that bump usually means I'm almost home!

And yeah, do it. When I first got my license I would use "hiking" as an excuse to borrow my mom's E46 3 series on sundays and go tearing around on some back roads. Soon I forgot all about hiking and would just go driving.

Just looked it up and it's about an hour away, which means 45 mins without traffic. Definitely going to head out there soon. Thanks for the info I owe you one.

What do you drive?

2014 C300, not the most jalop vehicle but it puts a stupid grin on my face when I push it. Tom (Automatch) actually got it for me.
