Regarding the 6MT.. Anybody change their clutch out on their garage floor? Would rather not do that again. It was a PITA with my Cobalt. If you took it to a shop, where did you go? And how much? Reason I ask is one 335i I'm looking at has like 95k miles on it and I'm just gonna guess its on its factory clutch.

Drove mine all last winter. Remember that one morning where we had a heavy snow and there was several inches on the ground? Well I drove down Woodward without an issue, I actually passed an AWD Subaru that spun out and was facing the wrong way due to slush (and probably on all seasons!)

Okay, yeah. I definitely won't rule out an "i" then.
One more question for you guys.. Since I'm only 20, I've been paying out the ass for insurance. My Cobalt doesn't even have full coverage on it since it's just super expensive with Allstate, even PLPD. The bimmer will be my first auto loan, and I'm just shopping around for insurance quotes, and they're like $300/mo! Any suggestions to where I could get some nice insurance for a decent price!? |

be careful your first winter, especially if you don't have much experience driving rwd. personally, i'd recommend a cheaper rwd car to learn on before taking on a BMW.

But the way the search is going I probably won't have to worry about driving in the snow. |

You could always put the car in your dads name or mom and pay them for the insurance. That's what I do

There are some really good deals out there on "high" mileage 335's. I got a crazy deal on mine. |

I will say only thing that sucks is a damn trans flush. $700 for it total, and that was through the guy who rolled my fenders. Have to save for that.
I need front rotors though, might go slotted, recommended ones?

I was looking more into the packages as well, and I know sport is a must, but was also interested in cold weather and nav. Would be sweet if I could get all those in a e90 with a 6MT. |

Just watch autotrader etc. don't be afraid to look for ones farther away if your set on packages and colors. Cold weather is a big plus in Michigan. Your going to find more places that will try and charge 2-3k more just for the fact it's a manual and sedan. |

You can have these guys try and find one for you. They sell a ton of bmw's. I picked up my e90 from them.

Not set on any color, would prefer those packages, but not a huge deal breaker if the price is right. It's all a waiting game, and I'm willing to wait. |

Are they looking to adopt? Can I get free insurance as well?

It's not free, just at a way lower rate then it would be in my own name. I have a little Honda I have in my name because legally u have to have a car in everyone in your family or who's on the insurance on a car. So I'm on a 1995 Honda that I got as a commuter and my father is on the BMW.

It slim pickings out there.. The one car I was looking at has a reported accident on it. So I'm at 0 cars again, lol. I might check out b_ack's car down in Ohio, but I really wanna find something local.
