Compared to the TSX, it's a damn rocket!

Sound system is awesome, iDrive is becoming more understandable, although every use of the dial is completely opposite from what I would think, seats are awesome, cup holders suck. Really suck.

Wow, she's soo purdy. The color combination is particularly stunning as others have mentioned. I think aside from a tint there's nothing to add/change.

You've certainly earned it so now, time to enjoy in the best of health.

Congrats again J!

Very nice colour combo. And I love love love love the ambient lighting at night.

I think the cupholders are like that so the MANual transmission's shifter doesn't bang on it. Emphasis on the MAN part

But very nice car indeed. Anything you gonna miss on the TSX?

EDIT: Keep forgetting, did the newer 335s switch to the single turbo?

EDIT 2: How good does it feel having a car that was built specifically for you?

The new car looks great! I love the color combo.

I can't tell but are the paddle shifters the new style (like normal paddles, the one on the right only upshifts and visa versa) or are they the old style (if you pull on either one of the paddles it upshifts, if you push then it will downshift)?

And you want to post up some ass shots?

*Edit*
What mods are you planning on doing to it?

Based on my experience with the feel of 335i sticks and clutches and the auto 335,

made the right choice.

Thanks guys! I am loving it so far!

Ross, left paddle down, right paddle up shifts.

Also, I am told it has the N55 engine, so maybe no HPFP issues... Dunno. Don't care.

Not too many have failed on N55's. 1 or 2 reports, but you'd be hearing more about it by now I think otherwise.

congrats! do you hate it yet? does it have a 1mm paint chip on the undercarriage that is going to give you no choice but to storm into the dealership, invoke the lemon law with johnny cochran as your attorney and demand a full refund and a new car on the house?
