I hate driving my diesel truck

[TheCarDudes]

I was trying to be as practical as possible .... the family race car. :D
0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds. 300hp twin turbo in-line 6.

Nice choice, I'm a big BMW guy.:D

[ULTRA26 # 1]

My Son just got a new G35S. Seems to be as much car for about 10K less.
Congrats on the new BMW. Great cars

Unfortunately, not even comparable.
Nice car George.

[Todd969]

Nice choice George. I'll bet you have great drives in that.:)

[ULTRA26 # 1]

Unfortunately, not even comparable.
Nice car George.
You haven't driven one. I've been a BMW guy for years, the the G35s is on par.
Very comparable, sorry.

[INSman]

Unfortunately, not even comparable.
Nice car George.
Correct young man with prego wife :D
Motortrend says not even comparable to the BMW 330i, much less the 335i. Maybe the new G37 might be a better comparison.
Nice car George, please drop off at mi casa today so I can properly evaluate and ensure your overall safety ... :D

[ChumpChange]

You haven't driven one. I've been a BMW guy for years, the the G35s is on par.

My brother owns the G35 and my employee the BMW. Get your facts straight before making assumptions that I've never driven one. The cars I've driven you can only dream of.:D

Isn't that a Nissan?:D
J/K I think the S was made to compete with the 335 so I would say you could compare them and 10k is no chump change.;)

[Ken F]

For the average American commuter who never really "drives" a car the infinity/nissan is probably an equal comparason in their mind. However, for someone who really appreciates driving a car rather than commuting, there is no comparason.

It's not easy to enjoy a 300hp car in California during traffic hours. Might as well compare it to a yugo...they both corner the same at 3 mph on the 10fwy at 5:00.:D

[OutCole'd]

Congrats George, nice car. I really want to do the same. I'm way tired of driving a truck every friggen day. I want a car. Still not sure what I want though.:confused:

Yes they are less and when it comes time to get rid of it he will feel the big hit.

Funny thing is some of us are lucky enough to live on the north side of that traffic you speak of so we just continue to head further north to God's country and maybe do some wine tasting .... just an hour away. Maybe 30 mins in the Bimmer. ;)
Oh yeah .... everyday driving is usually limited to where ever I want to go and that's usually not where one would find heavy traffic. :D :D

Nice piece, BUT. The 5 is (imo) the best of the bimmers. Rear air, handles like a 3 and rides as well as a 7. The 3 is nice but not when it's 112 degrees out side. Some of the touring race teams used the 535 back in the day. They could get over 400 ponies out of it and it was 300 pound heavier than the 3. But any way you cut it they are better than anthing out there from japan.

[INSman]

I sent this to my insurance man...he said NO!!!!:mad:
I'd get a new one that knows how to say "Yes" ...... :D
Try Jeff at American National (858) 566-8555, takes great care of me ;)

[bunny 166]

I think it's really beautiful--congratulations and enjoy your new machine! :)

[Xlration Marine]

By the way it used to take me 2 hours to get gass, 1/4 mile from the house.

[franky]

Wow, so there is no longer traffic in Thousand Oaks? I just might have to move back then....not:D

[fatboy95]

nice ride, I've been wanting to get a 2006 M3 but the wife loves her 2000 328Ci. Says there isn't enough road in Cali to run an M3. If I get one I should move to Germany.:eek: :eek:

[Havasu_Dreamin]

NICE! I'd love to get one and ditch my suburban. 11.7 MPG no es bueno...

[TheCarDudes]

Thanks to all the well wishers out there. I am very happy with my car.
This is the current solution for the "M" for now.
Here's the deal on the price. Not that I need to justify it but it will open up everyon'e eyes.
Since I am "in the biz" I qualify for my once a year "employee" deal.
MSRP $49870.00
24 mos lease
$482 per month plus tax = $516
15,000 miles per year.
NO down payment (cap reduction)
Any more questions?
Anyone who knows me already is taking bets to see if I can even keep this for 2 years. :D

[TheCarDudes]

Wow, so there is no longer traffic in Thousand Oaks? I just might have to move back then....not:D
Beautiful thing is we have our house in Havasu also. When I want to be there for a day, a week, or a month, I'm there. I don't subject myself to traffic and thoroughly enjoy living in Thousand Oaks, part time. ;)

[TheCarDudes]

NICE! I'd love to get one and ditch my suburban. 11.7 MPG no es bueno...
Yup. Same deal with us. My wife had the 07 Denali with 22's. 10 mpg. Got rid of it and got an 03 Suburban, 8.1, lifted, etc. It was going to be just our Havasu vehicle. She's driving it everyday.
I didn't like driving my truck every day. I got the 335. Now we are off to find wifey a new car. Probably the GMC Acadia. Nice vehicle for multi-purpose.
More later.
TCD out

[riverroyal]

i did the same thing 1 year ago,best car ive ever owned,and the best payment ive had in a long time.32 mpg on the hiway,and it haul ass:D http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/2371330_5.JPG

Thanks to everyone for their compliments. I would put a thank you after every quote but then everyone would say I was just trying to boost my post count.

Sweet. My first choice would have been silver. I like the tint you used. Contrasts the car perfectly.

[riverroyal]

we traded in a 05 5 seris,this is a much better car i think

[riverroyal]

at 7000 miles the front tire were showing bad wear,run flat tires.So bmw replaced them,all 4, for FREE with the same tire but different compound.Unbelievable service:D

[BoatPI]

Congrats Cardude. I looked at that model a few months back but decided I wanted a larger car and ended up with a 530I, navi, sport package, etc (silver). It has to be the most incredible car that I have ever owned. Enjoy the curves too.

[Cole Trickle]

Congrats...The 335 is a bad little car it actually puts up the same numbers as the 6 cylinder m3 with a better tq band.
I shopped it when I was looking but I am a gm fan and cant justify a 45k car with 3oohp...lol
I ended up with a 400 hp GTO for 8k off sticker and its not afraid of g37's or 335's:D :devil:
Pretty sure there is some tuning that is coming to market that will increase the fun factor;)

[OutCole'd]

Is that about what you got yours for?

[Excessive Force]

thought i was the only one tired of driving my big diesel around. I have a 325i. its so fun in a bimmer, you almost never wanna drive the truck again!:sqeyes: Kinda stressful driving round parking lots(lifted truck), keep thinkgin some lil kid is gonna run out in front of me and me not seeing them.

[riverroyal]

Yes they are less and when it comes time to get rid of it he will feel the big hit.
The G35 has the highest resale rating in it's class... so what hit???

Looks like a nice car. I like the 3 series BMW's. I dont know if anyone that is sober would pay 50k for that, but its nice. Maybe mid 30's. We had an "E" class Mercedez that was bought for 41k new in 2004. Seems like much more car for the money. Ive also heard that they (some BMW models) are expensive to repair if they have body damage due to the fenders etc being pop rivetted.?.?.

This car has all the power of the old M3. Now all the M series finatics are pissed and want a new M3. Should be an interesting ride if it will stay true to it's performance and power advantage over the standard 3 series.

[Jordy]

The new M3 is supposed to be insane. Over 400hp in that little car:

No hit, it's leased. As I said, I have been a BMW guy for years. The G35S suprised me. The new 335 is a beautiful car, no doubt.

32 mpg on the hiway
Seriously? That would be awesome for the trips to Havasu!

I love the new 335i. I have a 005 330i and im looking to upgrade to the new 335. congratulations.:D

Give us all a a break with the we can only dream about the cars you have driven.
I could say the say same but wouldn't.
Motor Trend picked the G37S over the 335i coupe. The MT compare between G335 and the 330 was extremely close. The only 3 series that I would pick over a G35S or G37S is the M3. I consider bang for the buck an issue as well. I've owned 5 3 series BMW's and a 6 series. They are great cars and a never said they weren't. Sorry IMO, the new G35S or G37S is way more car for the money.
Doesn't change the fact that the new 335 sedan is a beautiful car.
Thanks to all the well wishers out there. I am very happy with my car.

Our 07 5 series rides like sh@t. I think its the run flats on it. You can hear a crapload of noise from the outside. Our last 5 series was much better. Probably never get one again. Dealer said its normal.

Give me a break telling me what I have and haven't driven. All I'm saying is I've driven one, and it sucked compared to the BMW. That's my opinion. At least I smile when I make jokes about diving cars you've only dream t about........ which I have. :D Seriously...I have. :D :D

Sterling had an electric blue M6 'vert on the floor all Summer at the Newport store. Beautiful car. The $118K price tag was a little scary, as was the thought of the retainer for the attorney that would be required to keep my driving privileges in tact in a car like that. :jawdrop: :idea: :D
