Hi, I'm been snooping around here for a few years now, but never registered until late last year....I'm a serious car fanatic/enthusiast... my car ownership history..... scared me when I counted.....I currently still have a E90 323i and a 986.Am currently looking to buy a E93 335i. Was initial tempted by the 200+kg lighter E92, but I prefer convertibles... And yes, I do drive with the roof down.... although the rain and mid day heat does limit those runs...Have only tried one E93 335i and was alittle disappointed in the power (vs my 986). Not sure if it's the weight that dampens it or there's something wrong with it (was expecting more from 306bhp and 400nm). Will be trying others to compare. But was impressed with the ease it gobbles up highway miles which was what I was looking for.This is a very informative site and I've learned alot from here, will be very useful in my hunt for the E93.shlim8

Welcome to the forums bro. What's the 986? Porsche?

Ahh cool. Is yours the pre-2005 Boxster [First Gen]? That's a nice ride.

Thanks.. mine is a 2001 2.7l Boxster. It is a wonderful car, in perfect condition (almost... bumper is pitted due to heavy duty highway driving). Was looking for the 335i to take over the highway role.
