Well, if you're expecting a Ferrari, you'll be one depressed puppy. Anything else, you'll be as happy as a pig in ......

Best of luck and enjoy the journey!

Congrats on your new order! the wait might be killer but well worth it

Just expecting something that is more of a luxury car, with a lil pep. My current car is an Evo8, which I just hate now. I love the car as what it is, but I don't like how its not fun to drive to work and the "rice" stereotype that i get. So looking for something more enjoyable to drive.

Didn't need to be a rocket from outerspace, just fast enough to get past the slow cars.

Congratulations! You will not be disappointed at all!

Swak · 04-23-2007, 01:00 PM

I am really stoked. I never really had a thing for BMW besides the M-series. But the 335i when I saw the specs and what it looked like (actually at first I thought it looked really odd, than I went down to a dealership to check it out, looks way better in person)

Plus I heard all the things like BMW Assist, and iDrive, and the 4 year coverage for maintenance, like BMW treats you real nice. Definitely didn't get any of that feel with Mitsubishi, seems like the car will take care of itself.

TX Coupe · 04-23-2007, 01:06 PM

Congrats. Do you have a production number or production week yet?

thats just mean.

bmw0perat0r · 04-23-2007, 06:16 PM

Sparkling graphite with black interior...awesome. You will love it.

I have the Black Sapphire Metallic w/black interior ...you can't go wrong with those two colors and you certainly can't go wrong with black interior. That beige interior...now thats not my cup of tea.

You will love this car. I had a 98 M3 and I will say that this car is more subdued in the corners, but this is certainly faster. The ride is wonderful, power is strong in any situation, the automatic is smooth and in DS can shift very fast and aggressive. Interior fit and finish is outstanding. I recommend the iDrive if you are techy and love electronic gadgets like me - oh its a blast to play with, great display and functions.

If you are extatic now, wait until you get it...it gets worse - you'll want to drive it so much you may forget to eat and sleep. Twitching of the right foot may occur, consult your physician.

This excites me so much. I can't wait to drive a car I like. Thanks for your comments.
