Okay, while the M3 got washed, we test drove the new 335i Convertible!

Okay, so while our M3 got its new shoes and getting washed, we noticed that Crevier BMW got two new 3-series convertible. Our great salesman, Brad Lindenstein got the key for us to test drive them right away!! If you ever need honest, straight-forward sales guy at Crevier, go see Brad!!

The Platinum Bronze/Creme Beige one is 328i with premium package (no sports package), automatic tranny.

The Blue/Creme Beige one is a 335i with premium package/sports package/auto tranny.

My wife like the Platinum Bronze/Creme Beige combo, but we test drove the 335i (nothing like twin-turbo power).

As you can see it is springtime in SoCal....it was perfect day for the convertible test drive. It was on the mid-70s today!

My observation with new 3-series convertible....yes, it is more solid than any other 3-series convertible I remember (and yes I have test-driven all 3-series convertible in its inception back in the late 80's as a E30 325i convertible). It definitely feels heavier than the 335i coupe that I test drove a few months ago. However, the 335i twin-turbo torque engine really got the 'vert moving. My wife noted how smooth the engine and ride was even with the sports package & RFTs. The 3-series convertible was more fun to drive than the 650i convertible we drove last year. With the steel-top up, the car was very solid and quiet and actually I had more headroom than the 335i coupe.


Also, Crevier BMW has a bunch of E70 X5s in stock!
