    Had a loaded 2015 BMW 335 MSport in Mineral Grey and Red Coral interior. Been a bimmer guy for years.

    Bought a cottage and traded my 335 for a Black 2015 Taco Limited.

    I miss my car, yet I feel more virile. Loving it so far.

    Thanks for the welcome.

    I don't want to post pics of my 335, it still stings. Found this on google images:

    Here is the truck.

    Took the rigid mud flaps off today. They were scraping on just about everything that isn't pavement. Looks better.

    Let me tell you another sad story. I had a Tacoma & a 745li. Boy meets girl. Boy buys house for new family. "They" decide a Bimmer is no longer practical.

    Happy ending in the making but I stood my ground on the Tacoma! Lol

    Technically, you can tow a boat with a bimmer. But, that's what a truck is for.
