Rear engine no good?

white tux with pink shirt.

tiff and I got into this conversation yesterday. if things go well, the plan would be to move closer to OC and rent out the riverside house. She wants to stay out there, I hate it. But she is willing to move.

However............
she doesn't want me to keep the 330i if I am getting a newer one......... she thinks it would be ridiculous to have 2 bmws at the same time

Am I being selfish here? lol

Wait, you are living together again? I are teh confused.

No, I have my townhome through Sept..... she wants me to move home and then save up for a new place closer to OC, not sure yet.

While I wouldn't call it ridiculous, having two luxury cars isn't the most sensible thing, either, particularly if you want a thirsty M3/M5 to go alongside an aging BMW, unless you are:

1. empty-nesters, which you clearly aren't
2. fairly affluent, which I don't have enough information on (nor do I really want to know, that's your business)

In any case, it's good to have a workaday car/toy/wardrobe to go alongside your nice things. But that's me.

Right underneath the brake fluid reservoir.

Simple answer
Yes

It'd be nice but you have to admit it is a bit redundant to have a 330i and m3 of the same generation
Especially if you have other needs (such as mortgage, child care, etc.) unless if you are balling so hard that you can swing it all

40mm is wrong. 42mm in the piston size. My guess is that 44mm might be the piston bore size.

sound sensible advice...from albee? :hmmm:

but really he does make a point as does your wife. the 330i is already a daily driver. if you went the 335d route it'd become your toy. if you went m3/5 it'd be your aging needs work daily driver. best advice is always to never stretch beyond your means if a second car is doing that then the current one needs to be replaced or maintained. where you sleep, eat, screw and raise your children will always take priority to me.
