2015 BMW 335i M-Sport Estoril Blue
I am relocating to a northern climate for work and recently sold my 335i to Carvana. It was my baby since I bought it CPO in 2018 and I want it to go to a good home. It is in incredible shape, I did all the maintenance myself, and all common issues have been sorted. Never tuned. Charge pipe replaced last year, new AGM battery this year, and I did an oil change and oil filter housing gasket the week before I sold it. I would love to hear that an enthusiast buys it so I want to post a link here: https://www.carvana.com/vehicle/2867043 Happy to answer any questions. The only thing I think it needs are tires and it should be good to go for a while! |

You could have kept it! I’m assuming you sold it because it’s rwd. That’s not a problem with a good set of winter tires. I’m coming up on my twelfth winter in Chicago in a rwd 3er with a dedicated set of wheels and winter tires and I’ve never had a problem. In fact, I do better than the awd cars on all season tires.
btw, I moved here from Fort Worth.

I'm car shopping and wondering about this since I'm in Chicago too. Feel like AWD would just be better but how often would I need it's capabilities... Anyway OP good on you for sharing the history on your car. Looks great and well maintained and cared for. Hopefully it goes to an enthusiast. |

Good to know though, thanks. We have parking behind our building and nobody plows it. We clean it ourselves. My current WRX obviously has no issues, but can only picture a RWD struggling, even on the best winter setup. Plus there's a pretty good uphill portion out the alley to pull onto the street which won't help. Maybe I'll just move to Texas. Problem solved |

After this last mayoral election I started thinking about returning to Texas, but when I made the trip to Raleigh, NC in July to pick up my current car a day and a half there convinced me I cannot return to that kind of heat for seven to eight months out of the year. Summer gets going in April and doesn’t end until sometime in October.
