Gobbatto:
I purchased my new 335is convertible in February, and I love it! There may be some differences between Canadian and American model options? Decide whether you want a coupe or retractable hardtop convertible. Then I would say study the BMW 3-series official brochure which lists all the options extensively. Utilize the BMW website to "build your own" to view options/packages and costs. Read the Internet reviews, and check the forums like you're doing. I personally opted for all the packages, and almost all the options available, along with 19" rims and a rear spoiler. I think the only available options which I don't have are the heated steering wheel, auto high beams, and Active Cruise Control (ACC), simply because they didn't come with the model that was available to me at the time. Good luck! |

To me, it's all worth it! But that's a personal decision. The option packages added about $20k
to the base cost. It helped that the fully loaded 335is convertible was already in my price range. Last edited by mds54; 04-30-2011 at 07:12 PM.. |

There are websites which will compare the 335is to other comparable models. Go and test drive your top choices. Only you can make that decision. |

335is
iv done so much research. its just that professional reviewers tend to have different views on the car. Some say its a great sports car, while others say its unreasonable car for everyday use. After alot of research I can say I sure about buying the car, but I'd like to know what everyday consumers have to say about the car. Things like comfort for long rides, performace and other interesting things. Like I said before I have read up ALOT on all these things about the car, but I find different opinions for each review. Can be a little frustrating. But any information will be very informative for me. Thanks!

I think you can tell from this Forum that the overwhelming majority of 335is owners are very happy with their cars. To me, it's the perfect blend of power, performance, comfort, style, luxury, and practicality as my everyday commute car. I fall in love with it a little more each day. |

Absolutely! And for longer trips too..... I took a girlfriend for a road trip for the first time last week. We traveled about 700 miles in one day with very few stops. Afterwards, she remarked that it's the first car that she's been in where she was completely comfortable for that length of time, and did not even ache afterwards. She loves it too! |

Is anyone running tunes on their 335is w/ DCT? How well does it work with the sport button? anything to worry about?
I'm probably gonna transfer over my proceed once I get the new car since they have specific 335is dct maps.

335IS
Hey guys... very close to ordering an IS. One question I was wondering was if you get electric power seats without the executive package which gives you lumbar support.

Power seats are standard (at least in the us), but I only have inflatable side bolsters not lumbar. |
