Nothing to be jealous about. Im going to lease it most likely and didnt get many options.

335i Coupe
Monaco Blue
Black Leatherette
Sport Package
Heated Seats
Comfort Access
Navigation with Idrive

$46,250 sticker

After brownie haggle, got it for $43,920

I have 6 weeks to figure out if i want to buy it or lease. Either way I havent been this happy in years!

That is diffenenlty a nice car with all those options and my favorite has to be which correct me if im wrong but I think its standard on the 335 is the headlights that turn with the steering wheel. I think thats REALLY cool. Anyway be sure to let us know what you think of Idrive since it gets a lot of critizism but others seem to love it.

I got an 07.

Dont think the 08s will be in production till September and not be delivered till October.

synth19, I was in love with my 330ci so I know i will enjoy this 335i. Never really loved the A4 though. I liked it but my heart still belongs to BMW.

I will however take some driving/track days with this thing to know its limits.

I'm jealous. I've been dreaming about a 335i very seriously lately. Having a $10k trade in sitting in the driveway almost makes the Bimmer too good to pass up. I think I'm going to go with the same options but swap the navi for the premium pkg.

Congrats man! Can't wait for pics!

The car still has a push button start without the comfort access right? But you have to push the fob to unlock the doors and put it into the dash to start it? Is that the difference?

for non-CA cars, you will need to insert the fob to push start the engine and use the fob to unlock or lock the car. With CA, you leave the fob in your pocket and you forget about it until you realize you washed your pants with that $350 fob in the pocket.. LOL

that option could get very expensive.

Thanks, that's what I had gathered the difference was, but wasn't positive.

lucky guy, have fun with the 335, that thing is a torque beast.

Leatherette sounds like it'll wear better than leather and not have crease marks after a week, is that right?

Correct. Leatherette will last much longer but doesnt breathe as easily as leather. I looked at both at the dealer and I couldnt really tell the difference besides the smell. I rather save the $1300 and put it towards the vishnu software.


Im not modding it

Ha! I've noticed that. This is just such a good board, I'd probably stick around even if I switched.

^ might have to consider the leatherette then, I haven't seen it to compare to the leather. I really like that saddle color though, and it doesn't come in leatherette.

BMW's leatherette is much better than it used to be. The E46 leatherette was absolutely awful.
