I went and drove this diesel 3 series in early 2016. To be fair, I was already bored with my 128i and was thinking about replacing it with something else. Since the 335d was automatic only, I wouldn’t feel bad about driving an automatic since there was no other option. Had I stayed in oil a 335d might very well have been in my future. There are too many what ifs in life to wonder about everything; this is one of those.

Ive always wanted a wrx. Almost bought one twice. Ended up with a Cooper S and a GTI instead. I do always wonder. I've wanted one since the old 2.5 RS, in wrc blue and gold wheels

My dad bought a Legacy 2.5 GT new in 1996. That was supposed to be my first car, but it died after ~190k miles in 2004. I wonder if that would’ve changed my wants when it comes to cars. I am a BMW person because an E46 M3 turned me onto cars in late 2003.

Hindsight is 20/20. If I knew what I know now, I’d probably gotten something like an E30 M3 or 1M instead of my E90 M3.

But of course if we all knew what we knew now, our unilateral acts would result in new realities with new regrets!

This is a good point.

I wonder what would have happened if that Dacia Sandero the orangutan and the American got for me hadn’t been demolished.

We were a Subaru family in the Northeast. My first car was a 94 legacy. Yet I never did pull the trigger.

Wait, Principle Auto?
So he’s not driving the bus anymore? What happened to Skinner? So many questions.

A friend in high school had a 330ci, all black with the manual. It was beat to hell and back but damn was it sleek and the engine/trans just worked so seamlessly. I Craigslist dream for one now and then

Just finished necessary car shopping. Had grand plans about seeing a couple different things. Got tired and ran low on time after 2. Went with the used V60 CC (see recent Volvo owners toast). Picking it up tomorrow.

I think we have the same friend. This guy bought the only 330Ci for sale , it had vanos issues, the cats were plugged and more. He's been working on it forever and now it runs like a gem :)

I wish we had the same friend, mine didn’t know Jack about working on cars or taking care of them. He had a VR6 swapped early 90s golf, and now he has an early 2000s Audi A4 that he put a K&N filter on and refused to oil it. All cool cars, killed all of them. Not sure the Audi is dead yet but it won't be long I'm sure ;(
