We’re two guys on a limited budget — but with love for our rides!

There have been leaked photos of from BMW about the 335is. The BMW 2011 335is has a more powerful version of the twin turbo N54 under its hood. Add to the improved powerplant a better handling and improved aggressive looks. The 335is finds it place right just in between the standard 335i and the performance version M3.

The new BMW 335is can be purchased either as a coupe or a convertible and delivers the performance expected of the brand. The 335is will have an output of 320 horsepower with a 332 lb-ft of torque. The roar of the engine is a bit lower than what you get from the 2009 Z4 which also uses the sDrive35is at 335 horsepower.

The power you get from the BMW 335is is more than enough though since you will be getting quick spool turbo technology giving you the 332 lb-ft torque at 1,500 to 5,000 rpm. There is also a boost function which pumps things up to 370 lb-ft in short blasts.

I’ve just seen the folding hardtop of the 2009 BMW Z4 live up in action and I have to say I’m extremely impressed with the compact, quick and robust solution BMW came up with for this new Z4. I’ve always liked the roofline of the coupe a lot more than the Roadster’s one — and with this folding hardtop you really do get the best of both worlds…

Photos thanks to our friends at BMW Talk!

Well my friend was asking for news of the blue beemer,.. well we have some news that didn’t made us happy. And off course.. I didn’t want to share this.. cuz it hurts really hard!

Well what happend?
I was driving to someone’s house to drop them off, when I was riding back to home, suddenly a cat was crossing the road. Well in the middle of the night, you have some reflections on everything, especially at 5.00 am. Well I slided with my rear wheel against the curb and it hits really really hard! So hard that the wheel was crushed! Here some images of it.. and yes! I wish I had a better insurance for my car!

What’s happening with the blue beemer? Word on the street is the blue one might be crashed? It might have been impounded by the Dutch Police force… What happened? It might have been turned into a cop car?

Stay tuned for more information…

Haha so I did end up selling the beamer buying myself something a little faster (without parking sensors, which isn’t too smart considering my ability to scratch cars…) but it’s staying in the family allowing me to still drive it every once in a while as it gets a great number of miles to the galon…

So — still expect some updates from the silver beemer on ourbmws.com too — can’t let the blue one get lonely can we!

Excellent news from my front — the checkup was ok… I’ve got new break discs and I need a suspension spring changed, but the car was in overall good shape, even after thousands of miles of painful abuse.

I was up to some poker game the other day, and parked my BMW 320d just in front of another BMW 320d. Man this is looking hot
I prefer the first car by the way… hehe

Wish me luck as I’m getting ready for a big checkup. I’ve done over 20,000km (that’s about 12.5k miles I think) so I’m expecting…. some issues.

Fingers crossed!

Of my scratched-up baby. Hoping to get it temp-fixed next week. Pray for me, please — haha!

Excellent news for those here to make fun of me — as I recently scratched my precious car in a flooded parking facility in the centre of Antwerp, Belgium. The whole thing was 30 centimeters underwater, and while backing out of my parking spot I bumped into a piece of concrete that was just lying there in the middle of the damn thing…

I complained about it to the cops who told me they had similar complaints the same week, but they didn’t have the needed tools to remove the large piece of concrete. WHAT THE FUDGE?

Anyway, painful photos below, click for full size view!
