Default I'm thinking about leaving...

After 7 years on CL, I really hate to say that I'm thinking about leaving. After test drove the new Bimmer 335i twin turbo, all 300 lb-ft comes available at 1400rpm. With the famous Bimmer handling, what can I say, it's really tempting...

I hate to see you are leaving CL family. Your car look clean. i like the wood steering wheel. Anyway, 335i is a good car, I am happy to see you moving on the new toy. good luck
I have a few questions about the wood steering wheel, Where did you get it done? I was thinking about to buy the 01-05 GS300 steering to put on my GS4, so i can keep my e-shift function, the problem is i have to change the airbag( RX300), which is a lot of money. can you give me advice?
please ignore my questions if you were not feel comfortable.

"American Stitches" in Dallas. There used to be a GB on CL for $425. I was the 1st one to jump on that deal 4years ago. I had to use a temp. ES 300 wheel for two weeks but it really worth it. Last time I heard, AS stopped doing the wood/leather wheel for GS

I don't drive it that much. It's always garaged, that's why it only has 67k miles...

I know I'm from the 3GS side but I will be doing the same when the 135i coupe comes out. I have my deposit for my order in already. anxiously awaiting for it. but would love to keep the GS for daily driving.

Always loved your car bro, especially with those beautiful rare wheels...hate to see her go, but I guess that time goes for everyone at some point (and this years seems to be the year for a lot of the OG's). Best of luck with the new car.
