Just one quick update.... my last two tanks have been really good in terms of MPGAY, 24 average :impressive:

My misery-inducing 335i has been my best ever car purchase decision.

I am ready for my next rental in due time, and I literally treat this thing with :aintcare: like attitude.
Why worry about maintenance? Everything covered
Why worry about depreciation? I will not lose my ass like I always do on every purchase.
And... I don't have to wait long to get something else.

I will miss this car but I am also looking forward to my next journey. This has been a 5/7 decision. 0 Rugrets

The Z was a Yuge blunder... however I can justify it doe. I expected to continue working in the City... and keep it as a weekend car. But life threw a different job at me... :yikes:

DD'ing a tiny 2 seater with tons of road noise is ... not great.

This is usually caused by a defect in the brake pad. It scored the rotor. So I think it'll need a new set of pads and rotors since you can't do Juan side

Fuck that. Just ignore it and let BMW deal with it when you turn it in. That can't be considered excess wear and tear.

Its under warranty. Go glare at the new cool Beemah's and get it fixed right. Dont fk with brakes or the end of a lease. Wont cost you anything most likely and maybe, the dealer has good coffee, a nice lounge and an attractive customer rep for you to entertain, or maybe later she can quote you all the good lease deals at her place :)

He ain't getting no handys at the BMW dealer, lol.

I dunno I'd probably ignore it. If they gave you a loaner for free and it was all covered under warranty then maybe I'd get it worked on.

Right but I literally don't even want to waste my time going to the dealer. If some kind of service reminder pops up before the car is due back I'll bring it in

And then I'll be stuck in some rapy 320i loaner ? I think I have a brake fluid service due in September I'll wait till then, and ask them to do the oil change a bit early. Since otherwise I'll have to come back in November.

Ain't nobody got time fo dat

Tripple Toyota collision :disgust:

Corolla slammed on the brakes in front of me... i was able to stop and pull to the left to allow the Camry behind me to stop since I have :225: s and major brakes... Camry couldn't' stop... locked up brakes... hit me and then went past me and hit the guy in front.

At least it is a lease...

At least you didn't lurch forward and hit the Carolla... then it would be partially on you.
