Project GTL!
 

Well as most of you know, I ran into a bit of bad luck with the Evo, and it found a new home! That left me needing a new car :). We looked at a bit of everything, but settled on a 335i xdrive. It was challenging finding one with a manual, but I found this guy in Boston. I flew out on Friday morning and drove it back.

It is a 2011 335i xdrive. It has just about every option, I'm not sure on what my future plans for it are, other than getting rid of some of the chrome and the "old man woodgrain".

Nice!

Re: Project GTL!
 

hope those cup holders hold up better that my audi cup holders

Re: Project GTL!
 

What's the curb weight on this thing? I have to say I whole-heartedly approve of this douche-mobile! Power is nice and linear, seats are comfy, it handles nice, and the list of features is a mile long. Really nice car!

Re: Project GTL!
 

Thanks! I like it a lot so far... aside from its inherent douchyness :)

It tips the scales at 3814.

Re: Project GTL!
 

Love it. Beamerstyle engage!

Re: Project GTL!
 

Looks great, impressive list of features! What is a Combox controller?

And what does GTL stand for?

Re: Project GTL!
 

Looks like an awesome car! Nice pick up

Re: Project GTL!
 

Very nice man! Some of the pics don't work for me though, anyone else having the same problem?

GTL = Gym Tan Laundry --- Guido motto :)

The combox allows the idrive to do bluetooth music streaming and sync text messages. Standard on all idrive after like 9/10 build dates.

Re: Project GTL!
 

The Combox sounds really cool. And I don't gym nor tan, so I guess I am just L haha!

Re: Project GTL!
 

Haha looks great! GTL = Escalade though, not a beamer lol!

Re: Project GTL!
 

I think i fixed it! sorry bout that.

Google disagrees lol :)

Vinyl wrap the wood grain with brushed aluminum and I think it will sporten up that interior nicely.

Re: Project GTL!
 

Yeah that's what I've been thinking about!

I've seen some dark grey brushed aluminum that looked nice as well.

Re: Project GTL!
 

I am totally an old man now, because I like the wood grain :)

You could try that hydro-dip process too, but you'd have to completely remove them.

Re: Project GTL!
 

Exactly what I suggested this weekend, that process is perfect for this (and how most factory "wood" grain is done).

Bringing it on the cruise?? I had a blast with mine last cruise! I was amazed at the cornering ability and how effortless it was, but still involving. Not like hustling a dsm/evo around!
