Gave in, got a 335i 'vert
 

I gave in finally and got a 2009 335i 'vert I have been drooling on for a while :) (the toughest bit was to convince the boss ;) ) to join the stable. It is a White with Cream Beige Dakota Leather and almost loaded with Sport, 19", Premium, Cold Weather (Actually and strangely it does not have cold weather pkg but has all the individual options), has the much improved Nav (compared to my 08 X5).

It's my first pre-owned BMW so a bit apprehensive but had it checked out by a BMW trained shop and has about 2yrs and 18k miles of factory warranty left. Wish me luck folks :eeps:

Looks great, enjoy.

Congrats! Beautiful car!!

yes, congrats on a gorgeous car! I traded my 997S cab on the X5 and nowI am waiting for my Lexus 250hs to sell so I can go buy a 1 series cab! Enjoy!

ahhh my dilemma! i've been meaning to do the same for a while....

looks great! enjoy!

:drool:

This is pretty much what I hope my next car will be. Gonna be a couple of years though, if not more. Congrats!

Thanks folks. Even though I love driving the X5 I always missed the 328is, which was a stick. The only thing missing is that the 'vert is not a stick, but that was the deal with wife ;) (she learnt to drive on a stick but the california traffic is not conducive to that, so I understood her point of view)

Old post I know, sorry. Would love to hear your feedback now on this car.
One question would be, any hesitation on acceleration?
Beautiful rig!

I think you'll really like the light seat color -- nothing worse than "branding" your back and butt jumping into hot black seats that have been searing in the sun!

Have fun!!!
