2009 BMW e92 335i – “Two days ago I was obligated to cut people off in my secretary car”
I don’t know how this one eluded publishing for so long. But fuck it, better late than never! This was my old college roommate’s car. He always wanted an e92 M3. And an M3 this isn’t. But it was the happy compromise that some Jeep dealer in Tampa sold him on. It slotted between his…

Man this was a depressing experience. The car was ok though. We had originally tried to get our cynical grubs on the newer 3-row VF9.
