Can someone please tell me,
1) How readily available are the 335i Coupe's right now?
2) Are dealers asking premium's? Are they getting them?
3) How good/bad are the lease deals now through BMW? (is the money factor high because it's a new model and they know people are willing to pay it?)
Thanks,

B-
Definitely tell your friend to go for a 335i coupe instead of an E46 M3. It's almost as fast, but the whole car is just much newer. It drives very well.. Great steering, smooth power.. The ride is hard, but not jarring. The automatic with shift paddles is great. Very quick and smooth. My dealer actually gave me a great deal on mine. MSRP was about $50,500 but we paid about $43,000 for it, with the trade included. I was very surprised.
