Hello comrade. LOL. I am actually trading in my 2008 135i later this month for a black BRZ. I had a Cobb and some other goodies on it. The reasons are similar. Gas is expensive, I drive more now than I used to, maint fees are looming and my CPO ends next year. I started to think about things like... what happens if my adaptive headlights break out of warranty ($$$$) or automatic rain sensor ($$$$) I sat back and looked at it and I just don't utilize the power and when I do I'm eventually going to get in trouble or there will be an accident.

I've had the 135i for nearly 2 years. IT has been fun but it is time to go. As thill mentioned the car just doesn't seem that practical economically to DD. I only own the 135i and hate having a garage queen (tried it with the miata.) The BRZ seems more aligned to my goals right now.

My most immediate past cars were:

92 miata
94 240sx coupe
97 impreza wagon

So the BRZ is a good fit. 1addicts may think we're crazy but I think we just know whats up! Now back to counting the days until my BRZ arrives from Gunma.
