Gotta say I'm not really feeling those wheels Jes, but I bet they do look better in person. Regardless, the car is PIMP.....

I think that's why they look decent on that Gallardo. Those brakes are the size of trash can lids

I loved Bastuck on my 335i.

But for the M3 the Bastuck is pretty tame, hardly louder than stock. Just preferred the Eisenmann Sport over it.

I've always been happy with the car. Just wasn't happy with the situation.

In the end, BMW took care of me more than what they probably should have done.

Of all the 335i past or current owners, how many have had the high-pressure fuel pump issue or any other issues? I am in the market for a 335 coupe and have been doing my homework on the e90/e92 boards, just wanted to get everyone's take here.

2010's are out(on the BMW website) and they changed some of the configuration of options on some of them. The 328i sedan now has a "value package" and it includes the USB adaptor and premium leather interior for $0, sweet deal but HID's are still $900

mine was replaced around 10k and the car now has 45k. I;m not too worried about the HPFP since BMW has warranteed it until 120k.

The car is worth the HPFP issues, as well as any other issues that pop up. It's an amazing drive.
