CLS Replacement

http://gtaindetail.com/fp/335i/kevin/a.jpg

Well I turned my 2003 CLS in Saturday, man I loved that car!

But I think I found a worthy replacement - 2007 335i coupe 6 speed sport and cold weather package - its a great car also!

I have attached a picture of what the car looks like.

The main differences are greater horsepower, torque and rear wheel drive, but the stock Acura/Bose radio is far better than the BMW Logic 7 radio. Actually, the clutch and shifter feel about the same to me.

ps I won't be a stranger and hope to be back in the Acura family someday.

Take care all

Good luck Dave, that's a beatiful choice...

For those of you that might be interested, there's a huge 335i thread going on now in cartalk:

I like the new 3 coupe styling, there's not much out there as nice... but I just can't get over the lesser reliability, options, and electronics for the price, otherwise I'd shop 'em too.
I just wish an Asian company made as sporty a coupe with MT option. the only near competitior is the upcoming G35 coupe redesign.

Great Car!!! Interior of the Bimmers is a little plain for me, but overall, that is a beautiful looking car.

I don't have the luxury of looking for a RWD car only. I have been checking out the new G35x but I just am not crazy about the style. Then you look at the 335i and its only rwd, why can't acura come out with an awd sports coupe and just toss on the sh-awd platform that is used on the RL.

very nice. i guess many of the doctors at the hospital i work in are Bimmer guys. there is a 335i coupe, Z4M roadster and a brand new M5. there are plenty of other hot Germans in the doctor's garage too.

I did not get the premium package, so it is what BMW calls black leatherette (pretty darn close to leather) and gray poplar wood trim. The wood trim kind of reminds me of the interior trim on my 2001 CLS. The exterior color is sparkling graphite and looks great.

We are battling snow and freezing weather here in Omaha, so my new 335i doesn't look very shiny!

I'll try and take some pictures of the actual car as soon as I get it washed!
