After 5 1/2 years its time to move on.....

To the BMW 135i!!!!!!!!! Trading the evo in saturday for one. If you havent driven one of these yet i highly recommend it.....just be prepared to do what im doing. I bought my evo in 03 and honestly i tired of it....... and i know what everyone is going to say..... the evo is a great car why leave it..... well very few of anyone on this board have driven one for as long as i have.... its gotten old. No regrets though great car just not for me anymore. And yes some parts of the evo will be missed.

I have owned my Evo for 5.5 years as well. Interested in knowing how many miles on your Evo and trade in value. I can sort of relate to how you feel. The Evo is a raw car and loves to be pushed more than I care to on a daily basis. I am not the same driver I was when I bought the car so my outlook on having a daily driven car is a little different. Good luck with the new car and post some pics and some frequent reports please.

I don't think I'll ever sell the Evo. Once I get another sports car, I will keep the Evo exclusively for track duty. Not worth selling something so cheap.

Congrats on going from RAW Man machine to the "girl" Kia looking BMW I went to test drive it one day and the minute I saw it in person it looked like KIA with BMW badge on it. +1 on 335i

considering its an 03, if you have any number of miles on it, a brand new 135i should be a huge upgrade. Hope you enjoy it! post pics. I got to ride in one, and the performance was awesome. Torque comes on way earlier - and its just a much more comfortable car than an Evo.

everyone knocks the looks - but it completely grew on me.

post pics!

I'd probably go with the G37 or wait for the 370z... the G37 has one of the highest resale values of all cars right now.. and they are quite nice looking IMO.

I have to add this ( not a knock against the OP ) BUT... the BMW is VERY expensive to work on, from what I have seen their resale value sucks, quality isn't all that great and they are just expensive POS's... but maybe some of that has changed over the last few years.
