Hello Everyone,
After reading the forum for couple of days I decided to register. Currently I am driving a 2006 Acura TL. I started my car journey with couple of Mustangs, Audi and 2 Acuras. I hope my next car is going to be (if my wallet allows) a 335i. I've been wanting a BMW for a while now but I haven't had a chance or the budget to afford one (not that I can afford one now, but lack of money never stopped me from getting what I wanted). So anyway, I found this forum very interesting and hope to continue reading and contributing for a long time. My current lease ends in about 7 months (feels like 7 years), and once I finally get the car I will be able to share the experience of having the car with all of you here.
Nice to meet you all.

Welcome

I came from an Acura TL also, just a little bit older than yours ('96)

Thank you guys, honestly I don't care if its E90 or E92, as long as I can get a good deal. I had a crazy idea of turning in my lease early, but the value of the TL is 4K above the actual wholesale value and I cant see myself spending over a $100 a month more to lease the car now. Which brings me to another question, what do you guys think about a used 2007 335i.? I saw couple of 335i Sedans fully loaded with less than 20k miles for around 30k. I've been leasing cars for a while now and it has worked for me, but 30k is not really that much money for that car. My only concern is maintenance cost.
The TL is a great car, has enough power to pretty much satisfy what I need in daily driving, but its a very boring car and after 2.5 years of driving it I realized I am too young for this car. ( I am 30 years old by the way).
