Not too shabby. If you're willing to sacrifice some handling for more torque then you should check out the 420ftlb SRT8 (roughly same cost as the 335i too).

nice color rodger! =) that's a 135i coupe right? the 135i is still kinda rare on the roads these days. so good choice as far as uniqueness goes... my 3 has 103,700+ miles and she's still trugging along. just had to get the control arms replaced recently tho.

The picture above is a 335i. I'm not sure I like the looks of the 135i as much.

There are eight 335i coupes in the US that are manual as of yesterday. Only one of them is the color I want and it doesn't have navi.....

Looks like I'm going to have to order it.

yeah, the wait sucks but getting EXACTLY what you want is worth it.
Only problem is you're going to have to Chevro-Leg it for 3-4 months.

They only order bmw's in black, white, and silver. Bimmer owners seem to lack creativity.
