Just pulled the trigger on a 335 sedan!
the dealer did a nationwide search and couldn't find any 6-speed Montego blue sedans, so I had to order directly from the factory. Shitty thing is, it won't get here for another 7-10 weeks 
This is going to be the longest 2 months of my life, but hopefully it'll be worth the wait!! On a side note, anybody want to buy my CL

), Sport/Premium/Cold Weather packages, along with the Comfort Access and the Rear Park Assist. Toyed with the idea of navigation, but I've yet to hear a single positive thing about idrive, so I decided to skip out on it. I'm also going to get the rear decklid spoiler, but I don't think they put that on at the factory, I'm pretty sure the dealership will have to do that.

I put it up for sale on a few car forums and someone from Texas basically paid what i was asking for it. Couldnt turn it down.
I used the cash from the sale and put it down on some property. Will be leasing the 335i coupe.

just seems silly to pay almost $1000 more just so you dont have to turn a key to start the car, and when you back up, you dont need to look at your mirrors because it'll beep at you.

Monaco blue with Saddle Brown leather with gray poplar trim.
Sport/Comfort Access/Navigation/Heated seats
I think Comfort Access is worth $500. Its a cool gadget, no one needs it but its sure as hell cool to have.

Just don't rely on the back up sensors too much. I've backed a 745 into a box truck once trusting them. Apparently they don't see up too high, just roughly from the bumper down.

It could only save you some money if you were planning on vacationing in europe anyway. Ironically, now that I'm buying this car, I can't afford to take any vacations
im pretty sure theres no shipping cost. u just have to buy airfare and hotel if u plan to stay there. some people just fly there, sign the papers, fly back in the same day.

Theres rumors going around that theres a delay for new orders. I think its BS though.
