+1 this 3 series thread is always a good break from work to see who bought a new 3 series or M3

Good to see people not being affected by the current economy and enjoying their car purchases!

I probably would have restrained myself to 19" for a little more sidewall, but yes that color is beautiful on that car. Especially on cloudy days or in low lighting.

Guys, I know the real deal. He talks about sports cars but really he's a secret surfer dude.

He bought the Bright Orange Ford Bronco from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle.

Depends how long you plan to stay over there.

You sign the financing paperwork 7-10 days BEFORE your trip and they give you a 60 days till your first payment from the date you sign those.

Welp, I think I've just about had it.

Had to leave the train station because my windows stopped working. Taking this POS back to the dealer in 20 minutes.

I'm really at a loss.

wow scrib! that car may qualify as a lemon! there were quite a few, when I used carfax, back when I was looking. Look into the lemon laws, and keep your documents. You might be able to get another one at cost!

You can't lemon a used car, based on what I know.

Leaves a salty taste in my mouth, that's for sure.

What's out there to replace this thing with. An no M3. I'm sick of blowing money on cars.

Dont swear off the 335i just because of one bad lemon. Although i know how that can ruin it for someone.

I still say look them again. Otherwise look at the G37... ?

I think the new 335i are leasing out pretty well, could look into that as well.

No Infiniti. Been there done that. The G35 was nice, but doesn't compare to this car.

Was much more reliable, though.

That's kind of the rub, unless you spend a lot more money

The only other thing I can suggest is maybe a used IS350? Thats if you can find a good price on one of those things. They are usually priced real high, even used. So far my 335I sedan has been good to me. Only thing I'm mad about is the oil cooler buisness. Still not enough to make me not have mine! wouldn't touch an M for the money, torque, and gas milage trade offs!
