Hi all!
Been browsing these forums for a while and finally decided to post.
Picked up a brand new 335xi with basically everything but active cruise control about a month ago. Already have 2000+ miles on it... Space gray with a 6MT: http://www.flickr.com/gp/10688173@N02/V20t41 So far I've put winter tires on there, replaced the shift knob with the ZHP knob (quite happy), and I ordered a Valentine 1 today (it's kind of amazing I don't have any tickets yet.) Next on the list is tint (have heard good things about Tint King, see a thread about it below... thoughts?) Don't think I want anything too dark. Also, any recommendations on a good detailer? I have never had so much fun driving anything. I actually learned to drive standard just to buy this car (literally). The reaction of the poor saleswoman when I stalled on Comm Ave. during the test drive was priceless. I've got it down now, though. Don't think I'll ever go back to an auto. Anyway, no real point to the post... just saying hi. -Dave |

Hey Dave - congrats on the car & welcome. I'm a bit of a newbie here myself and live just north of Boston. My 335 is on order and I probably won't get it 'till April. I'm getting a coupe 6MT with pretty much everything except for active cruise too - just can't justify, what, $2400? Too much for that option... I'm seriously considering active steering though - just need to test drive one for a bit to decide.
You might want to try Sonny's in Saugus for the tint. They have a great reputation around here. They did my X5 (just the 2 fronts). Came out perfect and still looks like the day I got it after about 2 years. No affiliation, just sharing my experience. I can't really help you on the detailers - do my own. So did you get active steering? Impressions? Keep up the smooth shifting! |

Hey Dave,
Did you get your car from Herb Chambers? I made that assumption based on your license plate (we have very close licenses plate numbers and I got mine from Herb Chambers) BTW, Congrats on your 335xi |

Yup, it's from Herb Chambers.
Active steering? How do I know if I have that? Don't remeber it being an option... The car was in stock. It had basically everything I was looking for (had the power rear sunshade which I didn't really want, but they threw it in), and from when I walked into the dealer to when I had the car couldn't have been more than 10 days. I almost custom ordered, but the one in stock was pretty damn close to what I was planning on ordering. Plus I like instant gratification. : ) -Dave |

OMG IT'S THE NEW X6 SPY PICS
Just kidding, , you got a fast car, 6MT!! I wanted an e92 6MT at one point too but my dad wouldn't pay for any of it. I ended up with an e46 coupe, step, and I had to bargain with him to NOT get an xi. I got my car from herb chambers too. Which sales person did you deal with? I bought mine through this guy called Richard. Nice car
