I did the same and couldn't be happier. Congrats and enjoy in good health

JulieDriving · 05-24-2012, 10:18 PM

Congrats OP! Your new car looks terrific.

Your 335i still looks great

Has it held up well x 2007?

I never understood the "no torque" complaint either.

WERKE · 05-24-2012, 10:24 PM

Congrats man, you will forget the 335 quickly; the M is an other thing.

positiveions · 05-24-2012, 10:31 PM

let the fun begins. Congrats.

IFX · 05-24-2012, 10:31 PM

tell your 335 friends, only then will they understand.. lol

vik · 05-24-2012, 10:55 PM

Thanks all!
Yeah...I will miss my 335i though. Will never forget seeing it for the first time in 2007 in Munich when I did ED. I never let the dealer to wash it. Car still has no swirl marks, after 50k miles and 5 years. Probably now does..It did suck when BMW changed the software with the updates. Car lost that 1400 rpm instant torque and response. It really felt more powerful before the .29 update (forgot the exact term).
With the M3, the throttle response and the urge to keep reving up and up, is just unbelievable + steering, chassis, suspension, sound. Enhanced premium sound system is incredible. The whole package seems perfect!

Thanks! I ordered bunch of stuff including z-pc to try to get rid of some swirl marks. Hopefully it will work. Do you have experience with the z-pc?

like any lady it will pretend like you should take it easy but what she's really dying for is it to be rammed in hard.

Good point. It likes to be pushed. It is a bit tricky to shift smoothly from 1st to 2nd though. Definitely different than 335. More similar (distantly) to my 3.0 x3 6sp.

1MOREMOD · 05-24-2012, 11:31 PM

lucky for us the 1-2 shift isnt ever used on the track. no need to rush it at any other time really.

I agree.

That's why I bought the x3. They are rare in 6sp. It's fun. No sunroof either! It feels heavy before 2.5k rpms.

1MOREMOD · 05-24-2012, 11:44 PM

even the new ones with the n55 twin scroll turbo? that would be fun with manual.

I don't think they have manual transmission. Unfortunately...Mine is e83.

1MOREMOD · 05-24-2012, 11:49 PM

yeah i saw that. i have the e70 x5 and its kind of a slug.

When I shoved it hard my 6MT yelled "take it easy!" and slapped me in the face.

Ironically, when I do the 1-2 shift at 8000 rpm it is very smooth! LOL

1MOREMOD · 05-25-2012, 12:44 AM

i usually short shift 1-2 or if i rev it out i skip shift to 3rd.
