Can you take a side picture of the new shift knob because I'm curious the size difference between the two.

Some side shots and birds eye view of the interior would be nice as well

Enjoy test driving the 335i..I don't think I will be doing it anytime soon..or ever

Yeah. I wished that I could have taken pics of those extra lights in the doors, but it was just too bright out when I test drove the car.

If you can drive both step and MT, that would be nice. I think MT was more fun when I did it the other day. GRRRRRR

njoy!

Well, if you come out of your 335i test drive and then are disappointed with your current car after the test drive, you can always hop into an RS4 for a bit, that may cheer you up.

All right, because my sister test drove a 335i coupe at Concord BMW and one at Weatherford BMW in Berkeley. Her words were, "UNBELIEVABLE"

Sedan does have +'s over the 335i. Its quiet(er) more private, more linear / smooth accelerating, all around balanced BMW ride

335i is sex on wheels.

Ordering mine with the following:

Montego Blue Metallic
Black leatherette
Gray Poplar wood trim

6 Speed manual
Sport Package
Comfort Acces

Standard features are already enough for me.

MSRP: $43,270

calling it done, will be very happy with it.

Not getting your point here. Are you buying a 335i sedan or coupe? Are you stating the 335i sedan has advantages over the 335i coupe or the 330i has advantages over the 335i coupe?

Hmm. How bad was it?

Was it very brief hesitation or did you stomp on it, looked around for 3 seconds and then it went wild?


Did you by chance have sport mode activated in your Z4M Coupe on your way to the test drive? I know throttle sensitivity greatly increases when active. Maybe that kind of exaggerated the effect.
