Just got new E92 335i M-Sport Le Mans Blue

nirvanaman · 06-10-2009, 11:38 PM

Just picked up my 335i last weekend. It replaces my '06 Range Rover Sport as my new daily driver. Was searching for a new DD for the past year. Started looking at the S5, but the non-opening sunroof was a deal breaker for me (I have mind open every day). Loved the Jag XF but wanted a coupe. Then was pretty set on getting the G37. Eventually checked out the 335 and was torn. I preferred the styling of the Infiniti and the look of the interior, but the nav screen resolution was outdated and the material quality of the interior was poor. The sub-par vinyl boot and quality of the vinyl on the doors was tacky. The purple lighting and gauges were super cool though. The seat belt didn't fit right and wasn't adjustable but it was fun to drive. Power adjustable steering wheel was nice and the voice command system worked brilliantly.

Checked out the 135 and was tons of fun to drive, but was too small and looked a bit like a shoe in my opinion. That and the interior wasn't up to snuff. But damn fun!

When I saw 335i M Sport, that closed the gap close enough on the styling front vs the G37. It was still hard to justify the extra $11k for the BMW over the Infiniti, but I justified it with the 0.9 for an extra 2 years, free maintenance, more features and better interior quality. Little things like the comfort access on the BMW that sensed your hand as opposed to having to press a button on the Infiniti. Not to mention the vastly improved I-drive, better quality leather and nicer seats. More practical too with a more usable back seat and bigger trunk. Oh, and that little twin turbo six and the significantly better manual might have had something to do with it.

So far, have been very happy with the car and figuring out all the quirks (like the odd turn signals). I wish the steering wheel tilted down further too. But the color is stunning and the drive is great. I'm happy with my decision. Thrilled that you can use the nav while in motion. Didn't know any OEM's lawyers let you do that. Definite surprise and delight.

Here is what I got:

335i Coupe
Le Mans Blue/Black Dakota Leather
Premium Package
M-Sport Package
Manual transmission
Heated Seats
Comfort Access
iPod/USB
Navigation
Logic 7

VERY VERY VERY NICE!!!!

Congrats! Welcome to the club.

There are folks on here who have spent thousands and thousands of dollars in after-market upgrades to make their cars look like yours does now.

You made the smart choice!

Here you go. Not the best shot unfortunately. Not sure why I didn't take more of the back.

Nice car, the color looks great!

Good choice of the 335i over the G37. I was looking at the G35 outside a Sam's Club, wasn't impressed. I'm glad I went with the BMW!

Thanks all. I am enjoying the car very much. The commute (traffic aside) has been fun. I can't wait until she is broken in.
