Is the 335 e92 fast?
Hello from a long time reader, 1st time poster. My story is: I went to Iraq, ordered an e92 in Iraq, came back to my base in Germany about a month ago, picked up the 335 two days later... fell in love.
I went on vacation and got to put on some miles to break her in. Put some nice snow tires on, passed the 1200-mile-break-in a few days ago, waited for no traffic and a dry straight road and I let her go on the autobahn..... DAMN. Seemed like there was a little more to give too. Man, I love this car. |

Nice, you didn't waste time opening her up after break-in!
I have a pic of my odometer at 1200 miles...however, I'm was going ZERO miles per hour at the time. You were going slightly faster, I think. lol |

Nice. Just curious though, are the snow tires rated for 150?

Thank you for your service.
Awesome to see you taking advantage of the car in Germany. I have to say having been out with a Lambo and a few GT2 Porsche's (some highly modified) and man they make you realize that the 335 is just a quick car. Not fast at all. |

Wouldn't German Cars be in Kilometers first, and then MPH?
Great Pic!

I spent quite a few weeks in that wonderful area when our unit came up from Vicenza to train. +1000 on the "armpit" of duty stations. Welcome back bro and congrats on the car, I know how you feel. Sucks I'm in the hospital right now and miss mine SO much......

I was about to tear into you and ask you if you think you're cool after posting a pic of you at the limiter, but then I actually read the post and realized the title was in jest and you're in Germany. Awesome pic.
