Sure for the couple thousand dollars difference between a M-sport 335i and a stripper 335is, you could buy enough mods (JB, exhaust, etc) to kick the shit out the 335is, but imo, the extra power, extra cooling, and the body bits is worth at least a grand to me and still having a WARRANTY is worth the rest.
And I know everyones going to say, just remove everything when you go to the dealer, but honestly, its worth avoiding the hassle and completely avoiding any chances of a mishap. |

Keep in mind yall...
In 2003 my ZHP stickered for somewhere just north of $46,000 (not about to dig up the window sticker for the exact amount) with heated leather, hid's, moonroof and nav, no premium package, not the complete cold weather package. Base price of 50k doesn't sound too bad to me...

That interior trim would keep me from buying the car. What is it called? "Swordfish Skin Silver Aluminum?"
I like the car, but in general, I think it is a miserable attempt to compete with the S4. The S4 will continue to win the magazine comparos until the F30. Also amusing how the reviewers think it relevant to comment so much on the steering and handling that has not been changed. |

What's with the fog lights? I thought the E92 335is would have those removed for extra cooling.

I don't know about the jet black mirror thing, they don't look aggressive enough to wear a different color well
These are the first pics I've looked at that make the headlights seem super mean, I really like them |

It's my 335i with the Performance Package and Exhaust. And some stiffer motor mounts. Nice, but not a huge difference.
I don't think I like the grey gauges either, I know I don't like the '335is' on the gauge. BUT, I really like those wheels! I may have found the wheels I want on my car!

not worth the money considering the base price of an M3,but nevertheless it looks awesome!!!
I`ll definitely go for the new Angel Eyes and the rear bumper |

Guess what folks -- there are some (like me) that want what a 335 offers as opposed to a high revving M3. Don't get me wrong, I love the M3 and think it's a fantastic car and the best bang for the buck from a pure performance standpoint (with comfort features) on the market today. However, it isn't what some of us want for the car's intended use (like daily driving and never going to the track). In these cases, a 335 or 335is is the correct choice. Nothing more, nothing less. |

So, with my Power Kit and Performance Exhaust, does it mean I have a 335is sedan ?
What I can gather from this is that the 335i turbines can safely hold 14.5psi of boost...JB3/Procede anyone ?

Since everyone seems to be bitching about the price, interior trim, added options etc, I would just like to throw out a friendly reminder.....
This is gorgeous.

I still can't get over the badges being placed all over the car. It's on the tachometer, on the dash and even under the side turn signals. It screams LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!!
That's so unbecoming of you BMW |

+1... this car is for show not go. You want go? Get yourself a nicely maintained 07 for under 30 grand, add LSD some suspension bits, larger oil cooler. You will do circles around this "is" thing.

Side of the car (with chrome gills, no less), gearshift knob, headrests, embroidered floormats, tachometer, door sills, and more. It's just a little bit out of control. "Unbecoming", you say. "Tradition", I say. |
