Hello everybody. I've been poking around for a few months, but thought I should introduce myself. I bought a 2011 e90 335i in December. I knew F30s were coming but I've always loved the e90's look, especially lci. It's the best looking sedan out there IMO. The M Sport makes it look even better. I still remember the first time I saw one; I knew I had to have one.
Luckily, three years later, they were still available new. I didn't order it because every dealer I talked to when I started looking the end of October said they could not take any more orders. Luckily, one was on a boat on its way to the West Coast at the time that fit my requirements: M Sport, LeMans Blue, Comfort Access, Premium, Performance Edition. I might have picked different seat colors, and would have preferred a manual, but other than that it's perfect. Also, I didn’t really want to spend the extra money for the nav, but it was on the car. Now I love the whole iDrive thing and the way it integrates with my iPod, iPhone, and wife’s Android. It’s also nice to have the nav on the split screen. I test drove a non-M Sport, but this steering wheel felt so right.
I think I made a good choice. After looking around this forum, I learned what would be a good price and I got a much lower price than I expected thanks to the incentives at the end of the year (I know they’ve gotten better, but I got the perfect car while it was available).
I love cars in general, but this car is truly an amazing machine; I love driving this car! It feels perfect and just begs you to push it more around turns on the mountain roads. The torque on the low end is amazing, but I feel like it runs out of power at the top end the two times I’ve rapped it out. I don’t plan on doing that often anyways. I do feel some slight lag from a dead stop; hopefully that’s just normal turbo lag. It’s also great to be back in a rear drive car. I’ve been forced into front drive through college and law school because of the relatively low cost for late models. I moved from a final gen Grand Am GT, which was a cheap compromise for what I wanted in a car. It was also trouble free but it had become a squeaky “rattle trap.”
I'm in Portland frequently on business so I hope to attend a meet this summer when my schedule permits.

congrats on your new msport! if i may do so, might i recommend that your first and actually pretty important upgrade (not really just a mod), is to put HID in your fogs. it's made a DRASTIC improvement in visibility, especially during the darker/wetter part of the year up here in the PNW. you'll thank me for it....trust me!

select 9006 for the bulb size and 4300k for color temp. the DIY install is located on this forum and took me a leisurely 1 hour with basic tools.

love the color. congrats again!
