Car intro: Found (and bought) the right E90 at last!

autobahnsoul · 05-08-2011, 11:18 PM

After saving up for quite a while, much research (thanks to the many people on the forum with advice!) and months of chasing leads on cars for sale here, Autotrader, eBay, and Craigslist (driving my fiance' nuts in the process), I finally found what I really wanted: an E90 LCI 335i 6MT with Sport, Navigation, Bluetooth and heated seats. This list of desired options (esp the Nav) made it a hard car to find on the used car market right now, but it showed up only 100 miles away with a mere 15,700 miles on the odometer. It is a 2009 in Space Gray over Black, still smells new, and has a few other goodies on the options list:

M Sport Package (!)
Anti-theft alarm
Comfort Access
Heated seats
iPod/USB
Navigation
BMW Assist/Bluetooth
HD Radio
Satellite Radio
Premium hi-fi system

The car was a special order, and the guy who ordered it must be an enthusiast! He sure took good care of it. I'm told it was traded in on an M3 convertible.

Short version of what I think of the car: I love it!!! I am SO glad I held out for one that had everything I really wanted. I feel like a kid with a new Big Wheel

! I sure would love to wind this baby out on Autobahn!

On to pics of the car:

Thank you! No car is not a CPO. I bought it at an exotic auto dealer who mostly deals in Ferraris but has a few other interesting Germans like RS4s and C63s. It's a late '09 with over 2 years of the original warranty left, though.
