I have a 328 and love it. Go with what you want and makes the most sense- you are the one who has to pay for it and deal with the car.
That said, I feel as though a manual 328 is much more fun than an auto 335 simply because it is a manual. |

It's definitely on your mind- just DOO IT! Even with the Tri- state and all four seasons, I am definitely regretting nothing.
Of course, there is the occasional body flex, creaks, rattles, and heavier feel off the line due to the 400 or so extra pounds of fluff with the hardtop hardware and its mechanisms, and all the extra reinforcements, and that ever present, albeit slim possibility that the hardtop could screw the pooch and cost you dearly, but once you take it out on a nice day with that top down, you forget about all of that |

Full disclosure I have driven only cars with the CDV as well and I have had a S2000 and a Miata so they have kind of ruined me for other cars. The 335i thrust can put a smile on your face... especially when passing on the highway. Just my .02. |

Went for it!
So I purchased he 2009 335 e93, because he made the deal a bit irresistible. Spent some more time with the car after they checked the whole thing out and detailed -- as clean as I kept my 328, and of course it's a rocket just stock. He "threw in" (adjusted price more that he had) an extended warranty. 48 months or 50K from current 25K, and this should take me to when I'm ready for another brand new something. Of course that warranty not exactly same as full factory warranty, but it made it the right choice. And my last test drive made me feel "OK" with the Steptronic, after messing with that semi manual mode a little bit more. No, it's not the same, but the rest of it is mostly better. Missing a few tweaks here and there, like the lock/unlock alarm, which I'm not even sure how I got on the 328, because I didn't order the alarm, and the back up sensor thingy.
I will take a couple shots this weekend. Thanks for the opinions/recommendations. |
