Goodbye Dodge Neon Hello Bimmer!!

shentographer · 02-17-2012, 11:49 AM

I finally got it!! Thanks to the forums I've logged on at least 3 times a week for months going through the good and the bad. I started off wanting a Acura TL then Infiniti M37. I went in to see what the fuss was about to my local dealer and drove the 535i and was BLOWN AWAY! I am a proud owner of a 2011 535i!!! It's seems unreal

damn that's a huge upgrade!!! congrats man!!! my favorite rims on the 535!

gatoman39 · 02-17-2012, 02:23 PM

nice. I think you need a new camera too. BTW, I don't think I have seen a bigger spread between previous car and this car. You win

joey5622 · 02-17-2012, 03:37 PM

question tho, did you for real go up from a neon to the f10??

lakerholic · 02-17-2012, 05:27 PM

Serious upgrade! Awesome ride; you're going to love it.

CONGRATS!

mit · 02-17-2012, 10:24 PM

Congrats!
Just image what it takes to make a stride as large as this when you're due for the next upgrade.

I sure did. I've been wanting another car since I had to get the Neon 7 years ago. I've been saving for 5 years to buy a really nice car. I started with wanting an Acura TL then moved onto the M37 after testing the TL which didn't impress me. I was completely into the M until I tried the 535i. I couldn't believe it. Mind blowing is the only way to describe the drive and everything about the car. I know it's a huge stretch but I said I would get my dream car and I did.

Commendable patience.

7 years in a neon, incredible upgrade, enjoy!

Wow, congrats bro. Alpine White is my favorite color for the F10. Hope to be getting out of my E46 ZHP sedan and into an F10 in the next year. Enjoy!

wow, your camera is so bad those pictures look fake. it looks like a model car/miniature on a table top city in your attic.
