Bye bye SRT-8

Kiefermeister · 12-26-2010, 01:29 PM

old ESS TS2 e46er...
Sold my Jeep SRT-8 for a 335i sedan, fully loaded nav, prem, sport. Jeep was great while I had it, but after tranny issues, driveline failure, and cheap interior that I never got used to, 335i is night and day upgrade for me. Last straw was the tranny noise and impending doom with warranty running out (only 3 years 36k without ext) 335i is not the straight-line rocket my SRT-8 was for sure, but overall a more complete package as a daily driver. Wife picked the new car color. lol. Already managed to get myself a used JB3 and DCI. Between deposit and Xmas gifts, i am totally broke!

BOOSTED4DR · 12-26-2010, 06:49 PM

NICE like the color.........

MassBimmer · 12-26-2010, 06:56 PM

Nice, those 189's look good too

dmz · 12-26-2010, 07:06 PM

The 335i is an upgrade to your Jeep SRT8 for sure. But you will find out that the 335i is not a poster child when it comes to reliability.

Kiefermeister · 12-26-2010, 09:53 PM

Thanks guys! Love the new ride so far. Waiting on the JB3 and DCI! Haha. Gonna start slow with modding this one.
