Congrats.. the coupes never have looked that good in pictures to me but in person they are very lovely.
... my car looks very bland in pics, but in person the lines on the car are way more bold to my eyes.

not a fan of the newer BMW's, but I'm pretty sure the car couldn't be in better hands 
congrats
congrats Off-topic... but I really need to learn how to quote multiple posts into one response so I don't have to respond to 25 different quotes with 25 posts. Anyone care to enlighten me? With whoring up this forum for so long you think that I would have picked that up by now.

looks great - can't wait to see how it turns out!
here's where I first heard about the oil cooler:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes...test_drive.html
At the end of a couple enervating loops in both cars, we're surprised by three things: the fact that neither car could run away from the other, that neither demonstrates a clear edge in handling, and-yikes!-the BMW's oil temperature is near the peg at 280 F-40 degrees shy of system shutdown. This isn't a hot racetrack; it's a cool, 75-degree misty morning. Munich: We have a problem. This type of running, lots of low-speed-corner exits with both turbos spooling cooks the oil cooling those turbo bearings, and our car has no oil cooler. BMW installed them only on manual Sport models until March, when automatics with the Sport package started getting them. There is no recall or factory-sponsored retrofit, but enthusiast owners should consider installing an oil cooler.

What he needs is an oil cooler, not a tranny cooler. They never had any problem with the tranny and now all 335i comes with oil cooler from factory. Problem solved. As for auto tranny, all BMW auto tranny sucks, manual is the way to go.
Its pretty impressive from a traditional auto transmission. With that said, I would never buy one.
