My God that 335 is gorgeoouss. Since day one I've been regretting not getting Alpine White but this is just a killer. You absolutely have a dream color combination, very clean and subtle mods.

Yours>>>>>>Mine.

White is definately a good color on the 335. I thought about it for a long time...couldn't get myself to do it...dunno why.
Looks awesome!!


Ok, why the fuck can't I shift smooth from 1st to second. It is annoying the crap outta me. I mean, i can do it but i have to really concentrate. I never had this problem in my entire life. Am i retarded?

same prob i had... try delaying lifting off the throttle when pressing the clutch... the car almost likes to be slightly accelerated when depressing the clutch...

ps.. and when reengaging, get to the throttle a bit sooner

1-2 initially isn't so smooth on the 335i but you get used to it and eventually you figure out how to do it smoothly.

What helped me with the 1-2 shift was changing the tall shift knob and installing a shorter weighted one. The throw feel way too long and rubbery with the stock knob.

Im pretty stoked! the car took a little over 8 weeks from order to being in my driveway! even my sales guy was shocked how quick it came. Oh they had 3 BMW alpne B7's on the lot. (2 outside 1 inside). I have never heard of nor seen that model before. He told me they only make 300 of them a year! They had a white,blue, a silver (i think) one..

I like the color combo but not feeling the aluminum with the tan leather.

Heres one that would match the alumninum trim. You may remember the OP, she used to post here.

Thanks! I have only heard good feedback on the combo. Regardless at the end of the day it comes down to if "I" like it or not, which I do. But hey that's why there are options, because we don't all like the same things.
