Sweet ride man, congrats. Always had a thing for beemers. A 3-series is on my list of potential next car purchase. Its between a 3-series coupe, an 09 A4 or a CTS.

Those things are nice. I test drove a 135i (same engine) and I was surprised by the power. Pretty damn decent.

BMW's are nice looking cars. My old ladys mom just picked one up not too long ago and it's exactly like that. She's debating on swapping for an Audi now though, or atleast what she's been toying with.

She had the BMW for maybe a couple weeks (prob under a month) and someone keyed the side of it. Couple days later, someone hit it in a parking lot and drove off... It's hard to have anything nice these days without others f'ing it up..

New ride looks nice. I'd own one too if I didn't need room for 3x kids (back seat's too small in the 3-series)

BTW, before someone point to the obvious Camaro back seats....I have a 2007 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon for the family wagon.

yeah its not a roomy roomy car, but i (6'3 220 lbs) fit pretty comfortably and like I said the smoothness of the TT power and the sports handling IMO is second to none.

Very nice! Here's my 535i and T/A. I've never driven a car with a smoother motor than the TT 3.0. It's rather decieving because it's so smooth but it pulls sooo hard. I have a Split Second Turbo Tuner on mine and it makes quite a bit of difference. I had more appearance stuff planned for the bimmer but I got screwed on some parts I ordered from a guy (company) who has gone "missing". I originally wanted a 335 but like has already been stated, the back seats aren't that roomy. I may lean back toward one anyway though for my next car.

sweet rides man, alot of people in my hometown have the 535... I think they had a good lease on them or something. the 5 series IMO is WAYYYY to big, its more of a luxury car then a sports sedan, but its still a gorgeous car that If given to me Id drive ALLLL DAY.

I wish i could mod mine, but its a lease and any mods void the warranty and then my dad slits my throat and takes my 3 cars lol.

You'd be suprised how small this car feels while driving it. And compared to alot of other cars, it really isn't that big at all. It handles like it's on rails. The Turbo Tuner actually just pops into place in a few minutes and pops right back out just as quick. Alot of leased guys are using it just for that reason.

yeah i understand, im overexaggerating a little, but thats because im used to driving the 3 series (my moms leased 4 the last 8 or so years, and my dads leased 2 z4's the last 4 years) not the big luxury cars (5+7), i test drove both and it wasnt even close. Now thats not to say i wouldnt take a 535 in a heartbeat bc i ABSOLUTELY would lol.

And i so wanna try it but im sooo afraid to do it, i have the most horrible luck w mods, my luck ill get one (ie juicebox) and itll **** something up and ill be screwed. Just not worth it imo, im kinda outa the modding stage at this point anyway...rather invest $$ in something else. But i would love to see what the diff is with some more b00st.

I hear ya, I always say I'm going to leave my daily driver alone...until I see a car that mine would outrun if it just had this one thing. Then after I get that I see another car I could outrun with just one more thing...you know the drill. It's nice knowing that extra 40 or so horses is there if I need it. The 40 or 50 horses would make an even bigger difference on your 335!

Nice. Wife got the same car but in graphite. Good choice on the sedan. Honestly, it looks better than the coupes

The car is amazing. Seriously, amazing.

lol everyone ALWAYS tells me the opposite, that i shoulda went for the coupe. For me it just made sense bc I already have two coupes and needed a car with some space, plus my 100 lb german shepherd puppy needed room to stretch his paws lol.

nice ride. I like the new 335s and 135s, you can be up to 400+hp with a simple chip n tune. The one thing that sucks about bimmers is how quickly the depreciate once a newer one comes out yet parts are still sky high expensive. I'm sure you'll enjoy cruising around in it though, way better cruiser car than an F-body!

I'm about grown tired of the modding stage for now too. I just need a car that has A/C decent gas mileage and gets me from point a to point b. I know I will always mod cars but once I'm done with the T/A (which I will never get rid of), I'll be done for a while. Until I get my feet planted in a house and a steady job after college.

Imma go pick up a new CTS-V when I graduate this December lol. It'll be quicker than the new camaro, seat 4 comfortably, and fit my golf clubs, and turn a lap at the nurburgring in under 8 minutes.

No way, coupes area little better looking. Especially the front end. There are some small changes to the 09' model that I think make it a little uglier.
