I just sold my E90!

What was I thinking?

rosskie · 11-03-2010, 07:55 PM

a 2011 e92

smellthebeans · 11-03-2010, 08:02 PM

No I must keep my eyes on the prize M3 ZCP or the 1 M Coupe?

As my beautiful wife has reminded me of.

Ahhh...drowning my sorrows.... I know she goes off to a good home.

The new owner is an auditor who never even exceeded the speed limit.

I was thinking...."here let me show you what this circle exclamation symbol does"!

what a wonderful machine for the last 4 & 1/2 years!

Chriztofor · 11-03-2010, 08:03 PM

Why did you sell it?

smellthebeans · 11-03-2010, 08:14 PM

We are moving to Stuttgart...
I purchased a Jetta TDI to use in Europe (shipped at govt expense) because of the fuel efficiency and a warranty.
I planned on shipping the E90 over but, my logical side won over. That money can be put to better use.

Honestly, the Jetta TDI is not to bad when mated with a 6MT. She produces about 240 lb feet of of torque and the driving experience is not so bad.

Here in Norfolk there are lots of opportunities to upset the chassis in carousel turns and what not. The last generation Jetta (which mine is) with full multi link independent rear suspension remains compliant when upset in turns. But, lets be sure. It is not the same driving experience.

I agree with your 1st post.

Oh well live and learn.

Tomorrow morning I will climb into the Jetta during the morning commute & attempt to drive it within an inch of its life.
{Just kidding!}

I have learned one thing in the TDI. If you can heel toe in a diesel you can heel toe in anything

I'm sure the sale will be worth it by that time.

smellthebeans · 11-03-2010, 09:57 PM

I have followed this list for almost 4 years now.

It's an excellent resource.

rosskie · 11-04-2010, 01:05 AM

zamboni · 11-04-2010, 01:24 AM

Have you look at a 120d in Europe ?

michaelthepsycho · 11-04-2010, 02:42 AM

I like Europe's default setup = Diesel + MT
As opposed to the U.S. = Gasoline + AT
