Default Put my order in for the 335i

*Disclaimer* I put my order in - I will not fully commit to the purchase till I drive it, but if I like it I know myself well enough to know that I don't have enough patience to wait longer .....and yes, I canceled my M Coupe order.

Going with 2007 BMW 335i in Jet Black with the Coral Red Interior and Brushed Aluminum Trim

Sport Package, Premium Package, Nav w/ iDrive, Heated Seats, and the most expensive Satellite Radio package ever!


iDrive was held up till September production, so this looks like a November/December order. Once my car starts production the M3 is for sale

I'll know whether I like it or not in September - when the first 335i's show up.

however.. I don't think the 335i is better than the M3. we'll see, but I'd stick with the M.

I agree, and that is why I won't be able to afford the E92 M3. It is time for a new car, and the 335i fits the budget .....plus I'm getting older and am starting to enjoy luxury more.

Sharp color combo. I am sure you'll like it. No matter what car you buy; Civic or Enzo, there is always better... Enjoy it.

what are the specs on your M3?

and the 335 should be a great car. I can't wait to drive one when they come out.

2002 M3 in Imola Red with Black Interior. Factory options: Premium Package, Harmon Kardon, Navigation, Xenon Headlights. Currently at 53,000 miles.

I still have all the stock components, and I will let her go as she sits with the stock parts.

As she sits:








    Before I sell her I will also take care of the 60,000 mile service.

    How much do you figure to get for your M3? Very sharp, by the way.

    Good luck Alex, i prefer the 335 over the M coupe as well. Let us know how it goes when you get the chance for a test drive
