New 2011 Crimson Red 335i Coupe Owner! :)

tekcntr · 09-28-2010, 08:02 PM

Very happy with my purchase. Bought it this morning from Shelly BMW in Irvine, CA. Got it nearly fully loaded with iDrive, 19" wheels, leather, etc etc. Traded in my 2004 Nissan 350z.

First impressions, the bimmer is much quieter (not a bad thing), much higher quality in every way, rides better, looks better, hauls ass when I pass people on the freeway. Seems a little slower off the line, but I havent messed with the sport setting on the automatic yet. Does that make a big difference on shift speeds? I got the 6spd auto with paddle shifters.

Looking forward to being here on the forums. Ive been reading all the posts quite a bit before I got the car and all the info here really helped, so thank you!

Nice ride! Love that color!

I like the Sport mode. It definitely makes a difference

TheStigsTwin · 09-28-2010, 08:26 PM

Very nice ride!

RacerUnderTheSon · 09-28-2010, 08:31 PM

the 19s look sharp!

username604 · 09-28-2010, 08:35 PM

lol you should read up about hpfp since you purchased a 335i.
anyways, great choice, i always wanted an e92, but it was out of my budget.
I think any car would be an improvement over a 350z interior

SilverII · 09-28-2010, 08:36 PM

nice!!!

Me = jealous. Congrats! Break her in before giving it high RPMs around town. Take care of her!

Coolieman1220 · 09-28-2010, 10:09 PM

very nice, what did u get for trade on the Z if u dont mind, reason i ask is because my dealer gave me 8k for a 2003 infiniti G35 sedan in immaculate condition!

WWONG · 09-28-2010, 10:13 PM

Oh, just for the lulz, I'll give you $10 PayPal if you very carefully take out that Efficient Dynamics and place it on wax paper, then send it to me. I've always liked that sticker, but the dealer took it off when they did tints on my car...

Bracing for flaming...

Otto Feather · 09-28-2010, 10:23 PM

Nice ride.....19's set it apart from other E92's. Add some tint and finish it off with the OEM M Aerodynamic Kit and OEM M Sport Rocker Panels from getbmwparts.com!!!

socialpro · 09-28-2010, 10:35 PM

beautiful ride, +1 for the auto with paddles, I love it on mine!

Can't you just ask your dealer to lift one off next time they sell to a customer that doesn't want it and give it to you?

I tried. I even went to parts to see if I could buy it. They basically told me to go die in a fire.

jaybird124 · 09-28-2010, 11:01 PM

Gorgeous car!

Beautiful!

tekcntr · 09-28-2010, 11:59 PM

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback! Im in love. Driving in M/S makes the shifting much better too, tried it on the way home tonight

tekcntr · 09-29-2010, 12:29 AM

Dealer gave me 8500 for my Z with 83k, it wasnt in immaculate condition. I really put them through the ringer, came and looked at the car twice and then walked away, waited a week, negotiated over email... Finally got close enough to a price I was willing to pay.

Deltari09 · 09-29-2010, 03:36 AM

Gratz!

We have one just like yours, but in Verm. Red.
