Another new guy, joining the party late

riguy · 01-31-2012, 06:58 PM

Hey everyone. Just traded in my 135i for a 2011 335 drive M-Sport Performance Edition (whoa, that's mouthful). I was going to wait for the 2012 and do a ED on a 328i. However, I thought I'd take a look at my local dealership to see what they had left before I committed. I've always liked the E90, so... Sure enough they had a Le Mans Blue with every item I would have ordered. It also had the benefit for xdrive. I live in NE but have always been perfectly happy with RWD and snow tires. That said, me likey the AWD! No more traction lights coming on and cutting power! Anyways, got a decent deal and I went for it! I'll let the other folks test out the new model

Anyways, here's Madge. It's funny, my company is located in the same port that Audi's and VW's arrive into. All the guys were driving by me while they were unloading the ship and doing a double take at the car!

Beautiful car in an awesome color!

KnoxDawg · 01-31-2012, 08:04 PM

That e90 is about as perfect as it gets. Very lucky that she was just sitting on the lot! Lemans Blue is one of the most beautiful colors BMW produces IMO. Congrats!!!!!

PunjabiMC · 01-31-2012, 08:09 PM

damn that is sexy as hell!!

DaveL · 01-31-2012, 08:33 PM

Made a wise choice besides i'm partial to the e90 looks compared to the new f30.One downside if you want to call it that..I can not believe BMW has the nerve to issue those 287 rims in 2012!! Those were on non M-sport models back in 97 and up!!Where are the 193's??or 225's? F'ing nerve they have.Anyways that's my rant but good luck with the car it's an awesome machine(Lemans Blue for the kicker!!)

335isWhite · 01-31-2012, 08:44 PM

Congrats! that color looks great on E90.

Thanks everyone. Really liking the blue also, glad I was talked into it! LOL Swapped out the RFT summers with Conti DWS today. Very nice ride, but I do miss the sports suspension I think. It'll be a nice change from the 135 though... that was a bit harsh even with non RFT.

datbimmerdoe · 02-03-2012, 12:20 PM

sweet upgrade, congrats!

gosu · 02-03-2012, 12:24 PM

Le Mans Blue looks so good!
