That was weird; 280F is well within operating temps, not sure why they mentioned it. It says right in the manual normal operating temps are 220f-306f; the car doesn't reduce power until 311f, and doesn't limp until 322f.

Met up with the local tuner to see their new exhaust setup that they will be releasing soon. Its exactly what im looking for. Nice rumble on the outside but civil inside the cabin.

Holy shit Rennart's sounds amazing. I can only imagine what that sounds like doing a double down-shift before standing on it again

What a nice car, Crazy Sellout. I've never been a fan of the Teutonics ... but seems as if I may have to give them a second look. Well, at least test drive a 335i this summer ...

I think Jesal might be singlehandedly responsible for .03% of Acura sales lost next year...



Strangely, 2008 BMW 335c sales up .03%

Yea its the M-shift knob. Its much shorter and it weighted compared to the stock one.

HUGE difference since the stock shift knob makes shifting feel really rubbery.

I said I never would get polished wheels, the lip I can handle.

Plus these have a chrome lip which is much easier to take care of.


Dont you dare get a 335, i dont want local competition.

My buddy recently put an order down for a 335i coupe, black ext, red/alum int. I've been yearning for a fast coupe, so I've been pretty stoked and thinking about Black ext, brwn/alum int. I wouldn't be too local, I live downtown now


I've already looked into some mods, but I think I wouldn't tinker too much...

Yeah they would stick out. If you had the aluminum trim instead of the wood, then they would look pretty good. Just thought I'd ask.
Wow I need to stop obsessing over your car. It's just too damn nice.

Your car is beautiful.

Looking at the wood in that car you can see how badly Acura screwed up their bowling ball trim on the old CL-S/TL-S.

That exhaust sounds good man, really deep. I take it it's a cat back, deletes secondary cats, stainless, etc?

+1 on Natural Look.

Well how this to kill some of your issues...

The 335i is having fuel pump issues and few owners who had them fail been without their car for over a month. Remember when the Acura Transmission thing happened and the trannys were back ordered? Yea same thing....

Rumor has it they dropped Siemens already for Bosch so we shall see.
