really?

Who gives a damn. Unless your profession requires you to transport people and thus you need a work-appropriate vehicle... even then a CTS-V works perfectly.

Sooner or later most people stop caring about what others think.

Meh. I'm asian I'd drive either one of them. I couldn't care less what anyone thinks. I was just at my barber last week and I saw this Korean guy driving a C6 convertible. The cougar lovin' kind...

Ooohhh, boy. That's a long story. It's all in my old thread.

BTW, my 335 isn't at 300hp anymore.

There are a few cars that i love but can't see myself in it. I am sure everyone has some kind of cars that they love but don't see themselves in it.

CTS-V is nice and i would drive one too... but i would not buy one.

Anyways, back to topic.

It is the F30 335i Msport



I was going to wait for the Q50 until i heard that there is no stick in sedan form and the coupe is delayed.

As far as driving, S2000 > F30, but speed and everything else F30 is obviously > S2000. I already miss my s2000... might pick one up next year when the price comes down a bit.

I will take some pictures after tint this weekend.

The car is not fully loaded but it has almost everything i wanted.
and most of the stuff i wanted is standard on 335.

M Sport package
Navigation
BMW Apps
6mt

It is missing Premium and Tech package, which i would not get if i were to order the car anyway. I can live without Dakota leather and HUD.

Congrats on the new 335. It appears that Bimmerzine strikes again!

Another prior S2000 owner missing the car. That's why I'm not selling mine. In fact, I've had it exactly five years today.

Don't sell it if you can keep it.
I had to, because i can't do 3 car payment.

BTW: how long does it take you to get used to this Euro Shifter and clutch?
