Kevin, now that you have owned your BWM for over a year or so, how do you like it? Any issues with your car? And how does it drive in the winter? Easy to spin in winter? I am thinking of going over to the dark side for the 335 coupe. However, I don't like the 3-Series workmanship and interior but I do like the power and 4-year maintanence service. If you can shed light on this subject that would be great. Thanks.

 

Sounds like you are catchin the Bimmer Fever Eugene. It's been going around lately .
Definitely a nice car.

 

It is even nice with their lease rate at 2% for 07s.

 

i just ordered an 08 cabriolet. what don't u like about the workmanship? i would comment on the so-called workmanship on my current g35... but i don't want to wear a flame suit and get yelled at by the entire site

 

I thought you were looking at a Merc???

 

LOL

 

Wayne, what do you have against Merc? I have the C350 on my list to consider after the G lease is up in the spring.

 

Hey Peter I was referring to the old Ford Mercury, not an MB, sorry I guess it's my age coming through there. I did not realize Bill was talking about Mercedes when he said Merc. That is what we always called the Ford Mercury years ago.

 

LOL... I we're a couple of old relics Wayne.

 

Yessiree, I still get Flashbacks, I guess it comes with the OF title

ummmm Where's Kevin?

 

I'd also be interested in Kevin's review. Last year as some of you know, I went so far as putting a deposit down on a 335i coupe but then I chickened out. Wouldn't you know it, now that winter is here and the Z is hiding in the garage, I'm back to thinking I should sell the Z and join the 335 club.

There are quite a few 335's on sale in the US for a far lower price than what you'd have to pay in Canada, plus I could apply the savings to a new suspension, wheels/rubber and of course the Procede piggyback computer by Vishnu Tuning. Apparently the Procede adds another 60 whp and 80 to 100 lb ft of torque. That would probably be enough to take my mind off of the fact that the new M3 is out of my price range.

Anyway, I've taken my PIAA Super Rozza's & Michelin Pilot A/S set off of the Z and will likely be posting something in our Marketplace section. Would have loved to have kept the wheels, but BMW's and Z's have different bolt patterns.

Kevin - let's hear it about the 335. Or, I'll search the posts at www.e90post.com.

 

Had me on that one as well. Need an e at the end of Merce to make the s sound.

 

e90post is a great site for the most part. it has their share of noob posts though like "which washer fluid do i put into my car?" threads .. so like this site, take it with a grain of salt. i was lurking there to see what kind of quirks the car had. i didn't really find anything major. good luck on your decision.. hope it all works out.

 

Yes. I have also looked at the MB C350 Sport but their prices aren't great and not much discounts or lease incentives. I have heard that the new S5s are in. They starts at $65K with about 350 hp. I too am thinking of an 335 cab. In comparison to the C350 or any Audis, the 335 interior is a little bid plain. I hope I don't get flamed. Hehe.

 

Yahoooo ... does that mean I am NOT an OF club member yet.
