Found my daily driver

Well the time has come with gas going up and gas mileage for my camaro going down lol to get me a daily driver. I've chosen to go with a 2007 BMW 335i sedan. With a 3.0 turbo charges engine. Almost 30 mpg's and will be perfect! Can't wait to pick it up and let the camaro stay in the garage

I love my Camaro SS. However my brother who lives in L.A. drives an '06 645ci and it's very nice. Congrats on your new DD.

Yup. A Beemer with twin turbo upgrade. You're really saving some cash! It'll take years to recoup the opportunity cost at the pump.

You will probably find that you only get about 20mpg in the BMW. If you only make 16 mpg in your camaro you need to learn to stay off the gas so much.
