Hi everyone! Well, I finally got my 335i sedan last night. I'm pretty impressed with it. I'll spare everyone another review saying the same thing over and over, but I will say that I'm coming from a 2003.5 M3 and I'm very impressed with how it compares. Handling is not as good and the throttle is not as responsive, but other than that, I really don't miss the M3 to much anymore. I'm not sure I've heard anyone mention the size of the front brake calipers, but damn they're big!!!!

Great looking car, congrats, but how the hell did you get your car before my E92 335i with NAV that I ordered 8/4, scheduled to come off the boat 10/5.

Beautiful car, ENJOY!!!!

bmwsloy · 10-03-2006, 11:53 AM

dkpiRI,

Not sure how I got mine sooner. I think that I ordered back in July, but I can't remember back that far now. Either way it was the first day that they were taking orders for the sedan that I got my order in. Good luck with yours!

JackMac · 10-03-2006, 11:57 AM

Congrats, looks amazing!

AxelLopez · 10-03-2006, 11:59 AM

I would like to see you parked next to an electric red car.

oneshare325 · 10-03-2006, 12:14 PM

Love your car! Red looks hot!! I am trying to find a way to get a 335 e90 for myself....you know like the lotto, or kill someone who has me in their will....

hector · 10-03-2006, 12:15 PM

i wonder why red isn't more popular, i like it.

therealm3 · 10-03-2006, 12:27 PM

Very nice. I have the same interior combo, with AW on order. I can't wait to get mine.

I think some of the black line tail lights would look great on your car....

I used to have an electric red '99 328i. The color is much more of a red then the electric red which I thought was very orange. I traded an Imola Red M3 and I think the color is almost identical, just a little lighter maybe.

That's actually going to be my first upgrade. Just need to find a good price on them. The dealer wanted $250 which I thought was crazy. I've seen them before for around $150 I think. Waiting for my CCA rebate check before I order any toys to keep my wife happy.

dimo · 10-03-2006, 12:43 PM

congrats to your new baby :-D love color...

Bmwsloy, You've got a very sharp looking E90 !

My suggestion for your second mod would be to exchange your stock shifter for the shorter "sport shifter". It makes a big difference in the feel and throw of shifting.
Your car would look even better if you swapped those 162s for the new 189s that I have on my coupe. They would look fabulous on your new machine.

Jason · 10-03-2006, 12:48 PM

Hope you don't mind, but I've made this the Crimson Red E90 thread.

You can get them for $169 +$10 for shipping from Morristown BMW
