F30 335D xDrive and S14a 200SX

[AQuail]

Hi all. Long-time lurker here, although I've only recently registered for the forums.

I'll be attending my first PH meet tomorrow, so thought now would be the time to post what I drive.

The BMW arrived in January, and it's thoroughly lived up to expectations so far. Very fast, although very effortless, so it doesn't necessarily feel as fast as it is.

I have owned the S14a for 10 years now; it is a long-term project that I've been working on since I was 19; hopefully it'll be staying in the fleet indefinitely.

335D

Day of delivery:









After some fun on the backroads:



S14a















The BMW will be staying standard, but I will be updating this thread with any major changes made to the Nissan.

Lovely looking 200sx. Could be made into quite a weapon. Any plans to track it?

Lovely photographs! Particularly like the 335d looking down the road and the last interior shot of the S14. Any reason for bringing the 335 to Bruntingthorpe rather than the S14?

Thanks! No plans to track it as yet, perhaps other than the odd trackday once it's in a state I'm happy with. Quite a few things I need to do before totally happy with it (new suspension setup, etc)

Thanks! The S14 is off the road currently; it needs a few bits finishing before I bring it out for the Spring.

Both look great, I would de badge the BMW for a cleaner look.

[AQuail]

Thank you; yes the BMW rear does look quite fussy, especially with the xDrive badge.

I fear the harassment from Passats would become too great without the 335d badge though.

Great choice of car, I own an F31 335d and I'm about to purchase my 2nd next month.

Debadge the Xdrive badge though, they are all 4wd anyway, so I don't see the point in having it.

Oh, and Passats will not come anywhere near you once you ahem, accelerate slightly!

Ahhh I remember this S14a from the SXOC days! Nice to see you still have it, and are keeping it very very clean! Loving the 335 too!

A lovely choice of cars and I especially love the 200 and I still miss mine, have fun and enjoy them both.

The cars go well together, don't think you could ever get bored using both
