Just ordered my car

jeffb006 · 11-26-2008, 10:33 PM

Well I just bit the bullet

I have an 07 Subaru STi right now - decided it was time for an upgrade.

I have spent the pats year as the sales manager down at Slowboy Racing in PA, and I just moved back to Mass to open my own Commercial Equipment Leasing company.

So I was thinking my target clients have changed and I have always loved the new design of the coupes.

I just ordered:
2009 Alpine White 328 X Drive Coupe
Sport Package
Black Leatherette
Auto Tranny w/ Leather Steering wheel and paddle shifters
Navi
18" dual Spoke wheels

Its about a month away right now - cant wait, and glad to be part of the community

Congrats, man. That should be a good thing to talk about around the table during Thanksgiving. Although, I don't see going form an STi to a 328 an upgrade, so you must know something I don't lol. Anyways Congrats man and Welcome and Happy Thanksgiving!

Well going from a subaru to a bmw is an upgrade but you downgraded on power. Why didn't you get a 335i?

bud001 · 11-27-2008, 03:06 AM

I am guessing costs. Plus MA is not a speed heaven anyway.

Costs Yes, I'm only paying like $330 a month for the 328xi

And BMW > Subaru

The way I see it - would you be more impressed with your leasing agent taking you out in a smooth riding BMW, or a bouncy riding, kind of noisy STi?

LOL - easy choice - plus I dont need things to go fast anymore - if I wanted fast I would have gotten the 135i

True...it's not all about fast though (that's at least not the number one reason I bought mine). The 335i sounds better even under mild throttle, and looks nicer with the dual pipes. I'm not sure if there are other differences.

Congrats anyhow though. You made the right choice.
