What a crappy day to pick up my 335is

Picked up my 335is today on Long Island.

Rain, Snow, Sleet, Hail. Great for the summer run-flats!

Any day is a good day to pickup a 335is!

Hopefully in a few days I'll get mine! Furtunately snow is not in the forecast. Worried though that we do get snow sometimes through April.

I remember picking up my car one time from the body shop with summer tires. The was a few mm of snow covering the ground. I slid more than 300 feet down the street.

Beautiful car. I just got mine too here on LI and the Sport suspension has been a wonderful surprise. From what I've read about the run flats and the suspension I was expecting a bone jarring, tooth filling loosening experience. The car rides like a dream. Do I want to constantly drive over pot holes, of course not but if I try to avoid them and succeed the ride is terrific. With winter wheels and tires for next season I think I'll like it just fine. I don't know what all these complainers drove before their BMW's with Sport Susp. but I don't imagine it was too many real sports cars or they wouldn't be complaining.

Driving home from the gym tonight with all the slushy shit on the ground was NOT fun with the summer run-flats. Will be switching to all season non run-flat after the summer

I have sport package on my current BMW.

Is the suspension supposed to be worse than the old model 3 series? I heard complaints a while back that the 335 sport suspension is to soft compared?

Also what about the exhaust? To loud or just right?

I just turned in a 08 335i coupe. This car sounds better. Haven't been able to test the suspension yet.
