No. I don't get mine until march 5th. He has almost exactly the same car I got though.

I think the only difference between our cars is that his is an 09, mine is a 10, and therefore they'll have different side mirrors.
beyond that, same color and 99% of the same options.
M sport package
Performance Package
Nav
Sat Radio
Ipod/USB
Smartphone integration
Cold Weather Package
Auto dimming headlights
6 speed manual

I paid 2200 under invoice so.. yea.. i couldn't pass it up.

unless is a isf35, I would go with the 335. the Lexus is too much of a lady's car--and so is this bmw--but at least with the 335 you have a wider repertoire of upgrades.

Indeed, but it would be the only Lexus that can be considered a proper performance car... unlike a is250.

that's because a naturally aspirated big displacement engine will always feel better than a smaller engine with a turbo, not to mention the M3 is lighter and has sport tuned suspension.

yeah, you can buy a cheaper 335i and if you invest the savings over the price of an M3 on the proper performance upgrades, you end up with a 335i that is potentially better than the M3.
Ultimately, everything comes down to how big the budget is. There will always be a faster better handling car no matter what you buy...

yeah, but I also want a car that I can drive every day without fearing any imminent break downs. That route is for the super rich.
