Introduction to the shop cars
Apart from taking my mums Rav4 for joyrides with the cousins. The 2014 BMW 328I was my first car. I got this car when I was on my P-plates; in Australia, you need to drive low powered cars for three years till you gain experience driving.
With a tune and Valvetronic exhaust system, this car is the perfect daily driver. 0-100 in 5.00 seconds and without lead foot all the time, this car can manage a respectable 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres driven. On the hand, with the little taste, I have had of the 340i it is genuinely a tame beast. The lofty suspension paired with an engine that has torque for days sees you passing the 110 km/h with a blink of an eye. At high speeds, this car wafts over bumps and goes around corners with immense weight shifts from left to right. This car intended purpose by BMW was too be a soft urban cruiser, yet I will be transforming it into my track day weapon.
