And yes this thread and in particular the data that SickFinga came up with was incredibly useful. Really helped me set expectations on which color combos would be realistic to find and which ones are truly unicorns. Mine (E93/DCT/Space Gray/Oyster) is 1 of 76. Delivers tomorrow :-)

Got any links to the sale? Would love to see what it looks like.

Unfortunately it was taken down or I would have linked it in the original post.

Whoops I take that back. All that happened is that it fell off at CarGurus.com. Apparently it's still for sale.

Run the VIN (WBADX1C52CJ128116) and you'll get "Sonderlackierung - 490" for color. I'll attach a couple pics for when that link does finally die. Here she is, the one and only:

All 335is have gloss black mirrors. I was wondering how you could not know that and then saw that your car is black. Haha.

Holy crap, wow.... haha. I've mostly seen LMB and I guess just did not notice the mirrors were actually black and it wasn't just a light trick.... I'll be damned.

Hahah, yeah that's one of the reasons I went with SGM instead - the black bits pop more against the lighter colors.

well at least they're not in a junk yard. There is another member on here with one who listed it for sale then decided against it

On the hunt for the remaining 13

Hello, would anyone be able to tell how many 335is coupe alpine/coral 6spd were produced per year? Mines a 2013 and from what I seen they only made 750 coupes that year

[Jarrod]

See page 4 of this thread.

Man, I understand what you are going through. But don't lose hope, I just found my unicorn.

Coupe, Space Grey, Saddle Brown, MT, Mint. 1/7.

Keep on walking Johnny!

Late to the party but I did not pick up whether the production info reflects the worldwide numbers or just for US/Can (NA). Was the 335is only made for North American market? Thanks in advance.

266 were built for U.S. - 230 of them were DCT.
33 were built for Canada - 19 of them were DCT.

Mine is one of those with DCT - Canada

So after a little over a month of searching for different cars, going on countless (and fun) test drives, I finally purchased a '13 335is cabrio in mineral white/ saddle interior. Absolutely love the car. Ive been on the internet researching and have found that these are a little more "rare" than I thought. As far as I can find it is one of 60 produced in that ext/int color combo. Now I work on Very... VERY rare and valuable stuff (62 Ferrari GTO, 39 Delahaye 165, 37 Bugatti T57 SC, 38 Bugatti T57 S, 50 Ferrari 340 America, ect) in my restoration shop but I thought I was buying a fairly easily obtainable car. Through searching I fell upon several forum threads with production numbers and facts and mostly coming from one or two extremely generous members and have been searching to find the exact place where I could ask exactly how many 2013 335IS convertibles were built with the exact same options as mine. Best way to get options list is the VIN: WBADX1C51DJ128643. I listed the "major" options below but there is more than a page of options listed that aren't listed as "Standard Equipment" on my car and I'm not sure what is really standard and what is an option.
Major options list:
DCT
Comfort access
Heated seats
Headlamp cleaning system
Cruise w/ brake
Light package, High beam asistant
Nav
HarmonKardon sound
Satellite tuner, Smartphone interface, Apps,

Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer. I am so psyched to have purchased this car and love driving it.

6 weeks ago I purchased myself a 2013 335is coupe in Mineral White/Saddle Brown. So our cars are very similar.

At the time someone told me only 20 couples in this config were built, and of them only 6 in 6MT, which mine is. But I don't have numbers for you on the vert. Either way it is a pretty rare and damn gorgeous color combo!

We test drove so many cars but narrowed it down to BMW and Cadillac ATS or CTS. One drive in the 335 I and the Caddy's were out. Then test drove a blk/blk '13 335is cabrio that went into limp mode about 25 seconds into the test drive. It was the fuel pump, but it didn't leave us stranded. Saw the wht/saddle 335is cabrio and by time we got to drive it the blk/blk one was ready to test drive too. Absolutely loved the white one. It didn't have the 19's the blk one had but the two tone interior and the harmon kardon really sold us. Plus less than 27k miles... so we added it to our list of 4 other BMW's we have owned. It's true, once you have owned a BMW it is hard to get away from them. Regardless of the expense of owning them. BTW, one of the main reasons we went for a newer car was to get away from having to do expensive repairs on the BMW (our 330i has 139k on it) but just couldn't turn our back on BMW.
I got a carbon fiber rear spoiler but it was really wavy on top so I smoothed it out and color matched it to the car. I was so surprised that the color matched first try on a white pearl. I was expecting to have to play with the color a few times to get it to match. I will be painting the front bumper eventually because the previous owner didn't know where the lower part of the bumper was and scraped it up, other than than it's a pretty pristine car.

I looked up scores of 335is in my search and poured over the options. Besides obvious ones like DCT and Nav, I can tell you which options your car has that I've definitely seen at least one other 335is without:

319 Integrated Universal Remote Control
4NA Interior Mirror With Dig. Compass
441 Smokers Package (I think this is fairly rare)
494 Seat Heating F Driver/front Passenger
5AC Autom. High-beam Headlights Control (I think this is fairly rare)
6NF Ext.con.of The Music Play.i.mobilph
6NR Apps

I believe the rest of them are either standard on the 'is models, or extremely common.

Thanks "Jarrod" I actually thought that the smokers package, digital compass/ universal remote on mirror were std. I was able to program the remote to work with our ever code changing garage door opener. The auto high beams work excellent, very convenient option. I was able to do a bit of coding with Carly and change a few things to my liking. Had the Carly for our E46. While coding once I had inadvertently turned off the comfort access so that when the coding was done and I turned the car off and then back on it would not start ( key was on console not in slot) it would only turn over. PANIC!!!! I was thinking my wife is gonna be all over that for messing up the car, having to get it flat bedded to the dealer blah blah blah. I was so glad when I realized what I did. The only thing I can't seem to improve on the car is the comfort access locking. It's fine if approaching car from outside but when getting out after driving, when you would usually need to lock it, it takes a ridiculous amount of time to realize the key is out of the passenger compartment. Standing there pushing on the ridges on the handle several different ways.... duh... whatcha doin there man??? I've just been pulling the fob out of my pocket and pushing the button on it instead. Works ok if I have the fob in the hand I'm touching the handle with but if I've already pulled the fob out why use the handle, just push the button on the fob. Seems so trivial, OMG I had to pull the fob out I admit it, I'm terribly anal retentive, it's the details that drive me nuts. That's why I'm a restoration specialist.
I've read about SmartTop that turns the control for the top up and down into a one button push and let go operation instead of holding the button the whole time. It also allows several other things to be changed such as switching the backwards operation of the up/down buttons on the steering wheel and the console top up/down buttons and was considering getting that but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Maybe when the weather gets warmer and I'm using the top a lot. I wonder if that improves the locking operation in any way, I doubt it.
