Cars that you had…..that you wish you never got rid of

Don’t have a picture but my 3G TL Type-S with a 6MT. was such a fun car, and we brought my daughter home from the hospital with it. Sold to buy a truck to tow the racecar

I’ve driven & owned many vehicles, these are still some of the best driving cars I’ve experienced to date.

2010 BMW 335d! Traded in my G37 (also fun) for the diesel.

To this day, I have not driven anything that comes close to how I felt driving the D. I know there are better cars but this my personal best. Definitely a sleeper beast.

I sigh every time I think about it.

That m5 tho
What you sell it for?

Interesting review. I would think the G37 to be quite comparable, in terms of quickness, to the 335d…if not a hair quicker. Infiniti/Nissan had some legendary motors with the VQ series.

A new X5 50i lol… It was a 3rd/4th car that was very rarely driven. Always wanted an E39 since they were new, bought it sight unseen on BaT a while back. I should have figured out a storage solution to keep it.

Yeah looks way too big to be a Lotus tbh

G37 was indeed quicker off the line. But the D would smoke everyone effortlessly at cruising speed.

You are going at 80, slight tap and you are at 100 in a blink, while staying in the top gear. Had 425 lb-ft of torque.

I bet that was a blast to drive. I wasn’t thinking of the additional torque with it being diesel.

Yes!
I have never been a 0-60 kind of driver (no scorn, just not my thing). The intoxicating power on tap with torquey rides is what I prefer. EVs definitely fit the bill so not all is lost but ICE and EV do have different driving characteristics and I guess I am just trying to hang on to the past.

The z4 was by far my favorite. The ah3 was great too. Both were picked up via euro delivery.
