well, guys it seems that my time has come to move on. im at work today and decided to go ahead and place an order for an '08 BMW 335i. the car will be here in about 3 months from Germany. as for the max, i decided to go ahead and store it in my backyard and leave it as a spare car. i will not get rid of it at least i don't think i am.

 

When you upgrade, you don't screw around do you? Nice!

 

There goes another..

Good luck with the new ride..

 

Talk about an "upgrade".
you going to go see it being "born" in Germany?

 

the day that greeny gets his fancy upgrade is going to be the day world comes to an end

great pick up from the max though! let us know how it rides/feels!

no VE no vulture

 

No compasisson but I used to have a '99 325i convertible and recently took a '05 330ci cross country. Those cars are the best touring car. So smooth and stable on the open freeway at high speeds. We hit flat open highways in Alabama to Florida with no traffic doing 130+ and felt like I was going 70

 

He's not getting rid of the car, he's merely adding to the collection. I plan to upgrade this year, as well, but have no plans of selling my car.

 

It will happen, it's just a matter of time..

 

Hope you skipped the iDrive

 

trust me i did skip it. i don't need it and i don't want it. simply because i program these cars all day long and the i-drive equipped 3-series are too much of a pain in the *** to program. when BMW releases a new software for the E90 they always take about 4 hours to program and sometimes they fail and that pisses me off and the same thing if it had a telematics unit for the phone. these cars work off a most-bus system which is a fiber optic light that communicates all the modules inside the car with everything else. so i ordered mine with just with the sport package, terra black dakota leather, brushed aluminum trim, 6-speed manual. oh and the car will be jet black.

 

good one, but no.

 

oh i know but i drove a customer's 335i coupe 6spd manual and man that thing is a beast! talk about every gear having *****!!!

 

well, im not really leaving the forums, its just that i might not be here that often. but thanks, i will still log on here even after i get the new car.

 

well, i was going to get a lexus is300 but decided to wait for something better. and since i work for BMW i decided to take advantage of the employee program that they offer for us and pick up the new 335i twin turbo.

 

guys i just got the car this past Monday. i will post pics of it on here soon.

 

Congrats on the arrival of your new baby. What is their employee discount like?

 

bmw pics on 3gen forum? whata disgrace...

They dig well into snow, keep folks waiting. The disposable front really n€€ds relatives working at the bayerische moto werke hq...

 

i like how it's still "BMW" in english too. Bavarian Motor Works.

 

...sometimes, always consumes oil

... das ist eine Deutsche gesellschaft; Bayerische Motoren Werke AG ... http://www.bmw.de/de/de/index_highend.html?prm_content=

 

Wow, nice upgrade.

 

thanks guys.

Hadman: the discount is me paying half of what its worth but monthly payment-wise. the car is worth $42k but BMW sold it to me for $37k. fun car to drive too.

 

Dibs on the E36 lights...

lol j/k, NIIIICE upgrade. You don't skimp out at all do ya?

 

No i don't my friend. im throwing those E36's away since it will be getting flush mounted E36's with E60 projectors once im done with these damn headlights.

 

ok guys here are the pics of when it arrived at the dealer:

 

Daaaamn son.


Time to start putting some custom touches on it! Rims and tints?

 

Don't take away its virginity yet, give it at least a year or two imo.

 

Tight

 

i call dibs on the projectors in the beemer.. I shall retrofit them onto my max :-D

 

I see they followed tradition and left you without carpets

 

no custom touches yet. though i am thinking about tints but not rims. i like these rims.

 

i do have a pair of E46 projectors in my shed just laying around if you are interested but not the E90 projectors.

 

yeah that lasted 1 day. they wanted me for fork out $66 for floormats and i work for them. what kind of **** is that!? so what i did was go to the bodyshop and luckily i found one that was declared a total loss and i just grabbed the floor mats off that one and put them into my 3 series. saved me the $66.

 

ew you need non-USDM taillights... red blinkers are

but other than that i like it

 

Sweet ride! Although I would have gone with the coupe.

 

yeah i shall buy the euro spec taillights one of these days.

 

not that much room in the back plus im not a 2 door type of guy since im use to my 3rd gen. plus it was more expensive to get the coupe than the 4 door. so im happy with what i got.

 

congrats on the new ride! Take care of them both and yourself!

we all know what it's like to have a new car

 

Good work! I'm not a huge fan of the brown leather, but everything else =
