BMW Test Drive Event 4/29

[Feersty]

Way to get us back on track, b00bies. I also thought that we would be doing some sort of parade drive through Charlottesville and there would a salesperson driving the first car setting the pace, but it wasn't like that at all. I drove down to Charlottesville with Big E and he didn't even care that he wasn't driving cause he wasn't 21, he just wanted to "Pimp that 745i" Sidenote: I signed up for this online on 29 March so I was banking on the fact that I wouldn't have any conflicts a month later. Thank God I didn't my st00pid Modeling and Simulation class got cancelled :o . This was a straight "Money shot." The drive down to Charlottesville was nice, we listened to Atmosphere, Bob Marley, and some Window to the Wall bull- sh!t. When we got the beautiful BMW of Charlottesville dealership(Crown?) I had to fill out a simple information sheet with my name, address, email, and mark some boxes about what BMWs I liked, obviously I checked all the ///M cars. They also took my driver's license and took down my SS# and date of birth(21, hint hint).

When Big E and I saw the cars, we were friggin stoked. Online I had originally signed up to drive the 525i manual and the 745i. But, for some reason they didn't have the 525i manual so they offered the 330i manual. I asked the chick, Angie if any Z4s were available, but she was like since you wanted a manual, this is comparable to it. So I was like, okay. Big E and I waited about 40 minutes for the 330i to come back, driving if after Mike. When the car came back, Angie called my name: "Feersty your car is here." I was like yup. Then Sherry from Cav cars took this picture:



As you might imagine, the shotgun seat was tight for Big E, but the exhilaration totally outweighed the cramped space. The 330i manual has 6 forward speeds and one reverse speed :wink: . It also has a ///M steering wheel, rims, suspension?, and shift knob, which was sick. Now I had never driven a Bimmer before so I had no idea what I was in for. As soon as everyone left the dealership parking lot, they gunned it, I even got passed by a 325 wagon when I was driving the 745i. The 330i was amazing, the ride was so smooth, unlike any domestik that I had previously driven. The course that they took use through was also amazing, seemed to mimic a rally course, with narrow roads, guardrails, and cliffs. I am sure Maeng gets nasty on those roads. Chime in now Maeng if you would like. The 330i also had some big 18" rims with 12-15 spokes which was some hot ish. Here are some pictures:



















I also got to drive the beautiful 745i, I guess not the rest of the club was interested in driving this one, but it was straight pimp. It is a equipped with a 4.4L V8 that puts out 325 hp. We even stopped at an elementary school to take some pictures and try and figure out the complexity that is the iDrive. While Big E and I were straight pimpin' some guy yelled something to the effect "Yeah for b00bs." He was driving a Jeep Cherokee so I could understand this :wink: We also discovered the capability of this boat on i64 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Maeng can atest to this. 50 Cent even mentions it in his song, Stunt 101: The lyrics are:

7 series BM. 6 series Benz
24 inches Giovanni rims,
All one wheel when I'm one of them.
Mod the boy out, shit what up y0.
....I don't really care if its platinum or white gold












From BMWusa:


Push button start on 745i:


Overall this was the best driving experience of my life, better than going 140mph in a Porsche turbo at VIR. Drive a 745i you'll thank me in the end. Long post, but it was so worth it.
