My new Baby Blue 335

VapoR · 10-15-2006, 04:58 PM

I picked up my e92 335i on saturday. i drove up to the dealership with my heart pounding. i saw my car was parked right in front and my heart stopped. stunning first impression. i really was in a state of shock and awe. every time i sit in the "cockpit" i feel humbled. i recieved this car as a graduation/college acceptance/birthday gift (and probably a christmas gift) from my parents who haven't really spoiled me my whole life until now. i got a job over the summer so i could help pay for the car. im only contributing $2000 to the payment. now that ive put on a few miles, i kinda feel that i don't deserve this car. i almost feel guilty driving it. im just learning stick but catching on quickly.

I love montego. If I get a 335i that will hopefully be the color I get. Get some tint too.

Being spoiled feels nice, doesn't it?

I bet that guilt melts away when you push the throttle.

Purepunjab · 10-15-2006, 05:04 PM

Hey, you got one heck of a beautiful car there. I have a montego on order only difference dakota leather vs. leatherette. Could you post some more pics up!
Im getting mine as a graduation present aswell! but in my case, its finishing grad school.
congrats!! you gota killer ride.

ZuerstBMW · 10-15-2006, 05:04 PM

VERY nice CONGRATS and

phx08 · 10-15-2006, 05:06 PM

hahaha, nice gift for getting accepted to a college, usually you would get thiis when you GRADUATED from college

Nice car, and great color.

SP330 · 10-15-2006, 05:12 PM

Congrats on the car! I told my son if he got accepted into Wharton he can take my car.

Montego is awesome, you'll learn stick soon enough.

*TIP: drive with only socks on and on a flat surface

knock it into first gear and you'll learn exactly how the clutch travel goes (letting it in and out slowly with no gas applied)

BoostedBMW · 10-15-2006, 05:16 PM

Congrats on your new car.

You have the exact car that I think i'm going to order (montego, CA, black leatherette, 6 MT). I need to see that color in person and I think i'll be sold.

LJ35DRVR · 10-15-2006, 05:17 PM

Holy fuck. I graduated from college and got a brand new student loan payment and a "congratulations son, I knew you could do it. Got a job lined up yet?"

Good thing you opted for the high school diploma. If you had gotten a GED you probably would've only gotten a new Jetta or something.

Just giving you shit, man. Congrats on the new car, enjoy and take care of it.

Ninjaneer · 10-15-2006, 05:27 PM

Looks sweet, nice colors all around, congrats

Be careful around campus parking lots... park safe!

inTgr8r · 10-15-2006, 05:34 PM

Outstanding!!!
You're diving my car bro

... That's almost exactly the way I'll order mine

I told you i felt guilty!
and as a side note- i talked to a guy at the dealer that works closely with the techs and asked him about the break in period. he said that the break in is really only for the M cars. so i was driving with my dad shortly after and he told me to punch it and i almost red lined it a few times. but from here on til 1200 miles i plan on keeping the rpms pretty low. i love this car. my girfriend said it actually turned her on when she saw it.

OCNYBMW · 10-15-2006, 05:45 PM

Congrats! Very nice college present. I hope you did good in school!

new2the3 · 10-15-2006, 06:29 PM

Sweet car! Be prepared to get keyed/dented in college. My 2nd week at college with my 1st car (g35) my drivers door got keyed badly for no reason.

longtran · 10-15-2006, 06:35 PM

o my...i wish we order this color, but the engine will make me forget what i color i have anyways.

Zirenz2006 · 10-15-2006, 06:37 PM

Congrats. That color is awesome. Don't feel guilty. It's something your parent's wanted to do for you. Enjoy it!!

Ascension · 10-15-2006, 06:44 PM

Congrats

335I talian Stallion NJ · 10-15-2006, 07:07 PM

You should feel guilty, you are paying 2k for a 50k car that people twice your age save their pennies and dream to buy... got some nice parents there!! Nice lookin!

c-lee · 10-15-2006, 07:26 PM

I assume you were accepted into USC? FIGHT ON!!!

you'll fit right in on campus with your new 3!

just be thankful you have loving parents, that you got into a great college, and do well in school. congrats on the car and school!

just make sure you do a few really nice things for your parents in return.

... graduating college (with honors, preferably) would be a great start.

Enjoy your car, you're going to love it.

Bimmerforlife · 10-15-2006, 07:46 PM

Montego Blue is so hot and those pics really show the color well.

Question, does your car still have that new leather smell when you order the leatherette? I've always wondered that.

CALIF65GM · 10-15-2006, 07:51 PM

Beautiful car and enjoy it, I would order Montego blue too.

But is that gray or black leatherette. For some reason, it looks gray in the picture.

GAaaAR · 10-15-2006, 08:00 PM

Is it just me? How come i cant see the pics, it brings me to the image shack website.
