Just bought a 2010 335i - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Evan70 · 11-22-2012, 05:34 PM

2010 335i, 40K miles with Sport and Premium packages, heated seats, Bluetooth and Steptronic. I previously had an 06 Z4M, but got rid of it to get another Corvette (2003 convertible). The 335i will be my fiances daily driver, but will be our joint car for whenever we're both going somewhere so I can keep the miles off the Vette. It's an awesome car, and with the Sport package, it feels very close to what I would expect from an M car (while still having decent gas mileage). The very first thing I'm going to have to do is get a good radar detector for it!

That was one of the selling points. I didn't want black exterior, and the dark interior makes the car look like your in a tomb. Finding this one with dark blue exterior and the oyster interior was pretty much perfect, plus I got it for clean trade in value. Now I just have to get the extended warranty and maybe the maintenance (got emails out to several dealerships to find the best price).

What did you pick it up for if I may ask?

Braumin · 11-22-2012, 11:25 PM

I love that deep blue. Very very nice!

sy2767 · 11-22-2012, 11:34 PM

I would pile the miles on the vette as opposed to the BMW. Check out what low mile vettes go for compared to a low mile 335i............nuf said i think. Not downing the vette but its a GM product and they tend to not hold value very well unless its a speciality model.

ndog14 · 11-22-2012, 11:39 PM

Great color combo. That looks good.

I think the Vette probably holds its value better than most GM cars, but regardless I don't see the point in buying a fun car and then trying to keep the miles off- unless you have some ridiculously rare collectors item of a car.

OP congrats.. Love the interior color combo.

+1 for sedan. LCI 335i sedans look soo sexy!

JustinGTP · 11-23-2012, 12:40 AM

Same colour combo as mine! Oyster on BSM

Blubaron79 · 11-23-2012, 12:40 PM

Awesome car. Pull out the whiskers and get the PPK!

Evan70 · 11-23-2012, 02:55 PM

Already looking at the PPK, looks like a good add-on, especially with not wanting to have to worry about the warranty. I'm not trying to really keep miles off the Vette for value, but more because it's loud and rough compared to the BMW, so unless it's a convertible day or we're going to a Vette event, I'd rather drive the 335. The other part is that the Vette is low miles (03 with 20K miles), so it would help keep the value up and help out when I want to get a new one in a year or two. I don't really believe in not driving any car, even something that's rare. Life's too short to not enjoy them.

I agree enjoy them even if it's an investment, just letting them sit there isn't any fun. Great looking car, welcome and congratulations on the future date.

Enjoy your car. I have a 2010 335 MSport with 19K miles and at end of lease. After driving the F30 I'm seriously thinking about buying this car, adding a BMW warranty and driving it for another 2-3 years. Its been a great car for the last 3 years. No complaints.

Definitely get a Valentine1. I've tried them all and continue to stick with the V1. I keep up with RD/LD technology and even though most reviewers knock the V1 (mostly because they dislike Mike Valentine), at the end of the day its your best insurance policy. It just does everything right!

delacruzAAe90 · 11-25-2012, 04:47 AM

+1 with the color convo! I love the interior! Good buy!

AndyR83 · 11-25-2012, 05:52 AM
