No doubt Martin, you'll definitely get a ride. But not before I finally get a ride in the GT2! You doing the Captree/OBI run on April 1st? Maybe I'll hitch a ride with you

 

Ours comes in a month. E93 335i Hardtop Convertible. Sapphire/Saddle loaded to the gills.

 

I have an '06 330i that I love - best daily driver I've ever had. It has good power -especially in sport mode. Does the 335i have a real noticable difference in power?

 

I drove a paddle gear one, didn't like the shifter. Manual would probably be better.

Anyway, get an ECU, exhaust, and a LSD, and you're set!

Congrats!

^^^ That would be my first mod ^^^

Then a nice exhaust, intake, etc to free up some more ponies....i still love this car but feel like it will be pushed to the back burner once the M3 hits the streets

 

Thanks for all the comments guys! I will have pics posted by tonight. I have driven the car for only 30 miles so far, but I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. The car is pretty quick ( I havent floored it yet since i'm trying to break it in properly) and the handling is fantastic. The car itself looks fantastic and exhaust sounds pretty good! I am thinking about doing the ECU tuning and exhaust, but since I dont keep my cars more than 5,000 miles, i dont know if it will be worth it.

 

not really. i think the 335i is gonna be still a hot car for the years to come.
the m3 will be about 20-25k more and not significantly faster. also to me the m3 looks too ricey now with the vents on the hood, the front bumper not so aggresive, rocker panels a bit wierd.

plus it won't be available until mid next year at the earliest. consider paying prem. if you want to be the first ones. i think the new m5/m6 is priced way too high. get the feeling the m3 is following suit. it's gonna be 60-mid 70s and with conv. it will be slightly higher with options i am thinking... 335i will be good enough for me

 

We sha'll talk soon

 

Good points. Have you seen the HAMANN stuff for the 335i??? I love some of it...

 

I drove one back to back with an E46 M3 and would opt for the 335i. True story.

 

not so crazy about the Hamann stuff. I like their quad exhaust and the rear bumper with the diffuser. the front I like OEM aero add on. side keep it simple. Lower with H&R, slap on some 19 inch wheels, vishnu procede and I am set. I am having a very hard time keeping things under control now cuz i have decided to wait for the 08 model meaning will get my car in in september production. Same goes for my 997. It's gonna be tough few months for me.

I was about to do that to mine..
