That Vorsteiner lip makes the E90 look like Jay Leno. I like the M-Technik kit though....

I been still pondering if i even want to mod the 328i more.

I think i rather spend the loot on the nsx.

Still blows me away that people are getting the new M3 for invoice and 0.9%.

Wise decision! That new M3 is quite something though, I loved the test-drive. Think about it. Why not an NSX and M3?

328 has to stay. I rolled my parents negative equity from their TSX to my loan. It would be a blood bath if i traded it in.

Plus I have no urge for a $70k daily driver.

my 335 hit 30k today. it's strange, but i did get bored of it a while ago, but now it's growing on me and i'm finding myself becoming attached to it. It's been such a trouble free and easy to live with car. this has never happened with any car i've owned before and there have been many. i may just buy it out at lease end.

nevermind that's crazy talk.

I know what you mean. I was thinking about selling mine earlier this year but the damned this has been so solid every time I really think about it I realize i'd be a dumbass to move to something else right now.

I do have a bent wheel though... :/

Jesal; M's aren't selling here either. My sales guy sends me e-mails every week with better offers but I don't think I could daily drive one.

This week he sent me a similar offer on a white one, fox red interior but manual with the executive package and mdrive (so pretty much loaded), for $990 a month (based on a price of 80,495).

Thing is I own my car and it's almost paid off so I don't really want to keep my payment for another 3 years.

cTLgo and I drove the M3 last night. Car was fast in a totally different way than a chipped 335i.

We drove it back to back with cTLgo car and to be honest, the M3 FELT much heavier yet it still handled really well obviously. I thought steering was felt light which bothered me although it was very precise.

In the end i think its a great car but I am not sure if i would trade in a modded 335i for one considering the price difference.

Both 09's or left-over 08's? Deals sound pretty decent for what they are. Is the white one a sedan or is it the coupe?

Oh and I feel ya on the car payments, mine's paid off as well, I don't want to get back into it.
