Went auto cuz the wife can't drive stick and does not really care to learn. I just couldn't spend that much on a car she wouldn't get to enjoy. I made an effort to teach her on mom's s2000 but she really just flat didn't like driving a stick.

Yep, that and it was too cold out for the summer tires.

I leave traction control on when driving on the streets. I really see no need to turn it off unless you are on the track.

Maybe im getting old.

2007 CPO price

What do you think of this?

2007 335i coupe CPO-- 5,000 miles --Space grey/grey interior/blk wood/ steptronic, sport, premium, navi, cold weather package, CPO Listing at a hair under $44k

do you think dealer will bite at $42,500? How would you counter off the initial price? I've never negotiated a car purchase before.. and don't even know what the estimated dealer cost on this vehicle is as used.

Any comments are appreciated

Hmm...I'm sure you can get it below that!

I am working on the details on a brand new 335i coupe and I am going to get it for under 46K NEW


you need to bargain!

Congratulations for your order man! Alpine White is a very slick color choice. I hope your interior is red though if not

Hahahaah!
Thanks guys!

I was going to get red but i opted for the Saddle brown...
my reasoning was that if and or when i decide to sell it my options would be greatly multiplied if I had the saddle interior...plus it looks siiick too!

thanks again!

ok you can flame me for a bit! but not too much!

This car is too nice. I feel like I'm going to be picking up a used one of these 6 or 7 years from now to replace my TSX.
My dad's got a 535, and I can only imagine what the much lighter coupe is like.

I drove my 06 TL last yesterday after only driving my 335 for a week. The TL felt like a SLUG. LOL.

I know this is the 335i thread but since we're speaking of it's competition
I drove the G35x sedan for the first time today, and I was literally blown-away by the power of that engine
