and now that you've got your 335is 6MT on order how would you like to get a UUC SSK for her, ready to be fitted upon arrival?

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=779024

built specifically for the 335is' shorter height. Btw if you eventually do become interested in getting a SSK (mine or otherwise) let me know so I can fill you in on the details of the different models bc it took months to finally get the correct one, but obviously I now have to sell it.

congrats again!

Why are you selling and how much shorter is the shift?

to answer your first question: I put on and removed 2 other SSKs before I was finally able to get this one and by the time it came I just didn't want to do it again and I thought some extra cash would help with present-shopping.

your second question is a good one since I never had it installed. however the 335is shifter is approx 1.25 inches shorter than the 335i shifter and this SSK is built to the 335is spec. It is also height adjustable and I was told by UUC at one point that it could be adjusted to stock height or shorter. in addition it has stainless bearings as opposed to bushings, etc

Interesting. Well unfortunately I am not ready to purchase anything for the car yet, it doesn't come until some time in February and in the mean time I am going to enjoy my current 335i 6mt

Haha no worries man, but like I said if you do decide to let me know if you have any questions, it was quite the process but eventually we figured it out

Matts335coupe · 12-16-2012, 11:20 AM

Ordered on the 7th and already in production. Looks like it will be here in 4-6 weeks, not to get out of my 2012 coupe.

KennyPowers · 12-19-2012, 09:14 AM

Congrats mate!

I am looking into a lease / purchase of the same car with the same msrp (spec'd a little differently). This thread def helps!

If you would consider a regular 335i coupe. I am trying to swap out of my lease, have one guy interested, but it's not set in stone. Its black/red 6mt with nav and Msport, nice car if you are interested.

tres · 12-19-2012, 01:08 PM

you will have lots of fun in your new car

Matts335coupe · 01-05-2013, 12:00 AM

It turns out I have USAA and had no idea, plus there is now a better 36 month lease this month.

I was able to get my 335is listing for 59,2xx for 622 tax in sign and drive not a dime out of pocket 10k miles a year. I think this is pretty damn good.

kingc0bra · 01-05-2013, 05:51 PM

What does the IS have over the I?

Sorry bmw noob here

Well first off it has the old N54 motor with twin turbos , the option for a DCT automatic transmission. It comes tuned with a warranty from BMW with an extra 20 hp and even more torque. It also has the over boost function which bumps the torque up to 370 for about 7 seconds. Comes with its own front and rear bumper and side skirts( similar to an Msport) upgraded interior Msport wheel, shifter and ebrake and black headliner, It also comes with 313 wheels which are pretty sick. Think I covered most of it.

Oh yeah and of course the BMW performance exhaust.

Rick99GSX · 01-05-2013, 10:40 PM

It also has the oil cooler

Fun w/N54 · 01-07-2013, 10:35 PM

Performance exhaust and more powerful cooling fan.

M3V8Cabrio · 01-23-2013, 04:26 PM

Lease? Waste of money, wait til you can afford to buy it.

Matts335coupe · 01-23-2013, 07:16 PM

Why would I buy it? If I buy it and in 6 months when I want to get something new, I am upside down 15k. I can understand buying a car if you plan to keep it 3-5 years, but if you are like me and get bored a lease is the way to go. You lease it, then have someone takeover the payments. I have done this probably 5 times in the past 2 years. Has nothing to do with being able to afford a car or not.

good color

almost 8 weeks later, and the car finally arrived at the port. Hope to have her next weekend. The holiday's delayed the car close to 3 weeks.
