The only thing holding me back and this point from pulling the trigger is their lease price not where I want it to be. I have a test drive appt. this Monday and if they can adjust the numbers..I'm ready to start the build on a montego blue 335i for march.

Nice color choice. There was a pretty loaded G37 at my dealer IP w/ stone/grey interior. Looked nice, but 41k was 2 rich for my blood, not to mention they would NOT budge on the sticker. The other thing was I wanted more performance and mod potential. I also hated my G35 bc of the drive in poor weather. I a hoping w/ AWD at least I will have more control. I know the G37 is just like the G35 in terms of performance. I love the looks the interior looks nice as well. But in terms of 'solid' i feel the 335 is more solid. It feels more solid when you drive and turn, and it feels more stable.

I think everybody in the market for a 40-45k car owes it to themselves to at least TEST one! I was totally against BMW just b/c of the maintenance cost and the snobby attitude associated w/ their owners. But honestly, once I stepped into it for a test....the decision was made.

Nice car! I was looking into getting one and even test drove one, but I was actually slightly disappointed with the drive. Ya, its quick, but I really wasn't as impressed with the handling. For BMW to be a "driver's car" it sure felt pretty dang insulated and disconnected. I have more fun and get more feedback in my G35c. Sure it might not be as quick, but its just a more sporty drive. It did have some neat features though, such as the seatbelt thing and the nice interior ambient lighting and the rest button on the a/c **** which allows the engine heat to come through the vents after the car is shut off so it stays warmer inside longer so its not freezing cold when you get back into it.

Like one of the others said here though, by the time I got done configuring one the way I wanted I think I was at around $51-52k. Just didn't feel like paying that much for a car with a few more gadgets and a little more straight-line pickup. Oh, and IIRC the Procede V2 is closer to 80-100 more wtq and like 60-80 more whp. I definitely would go with the AA Exede or Vishnu Procede V2 over the SSTT and especially over the Juicebox. All said, if I had the money, I'd pick one up for a DD and keep the G for modding and whatnot though. Congrats and enjoy it!

those new TE-37 white time attacks would fit nicely with the red interior

Congrats on the new ride...

Wandered into a BMW dealer myself the other day to maybe pick up a left-over Z4 M Coupe because of the discounts. Didn't happen...but got me thinking about the 335...

I'll have to schedule a test drive...

Good luck with it!
