As some of you know, last weekend I made the trek all the way to Tampa to buy this car from a guy off the E90post boards. It seems like lately I only buy cars at a mininum of 15 hours away from where I reside.
Anyway, picked up this prestine 2008 E90 335i, which had 33,xxx on the ODO and was in immaculate shape. Previous owner had already done some tasteful mods including the VMR710 19" rims, M-sport front/rear bumper and skirting, aftermarket trunk, LUX angel eyes, tint, shadowline taillights, BMW performance exhaust, and a Dinan Stage II tune on it. Came pretty much fully loaded with also the sport package.
Probably also some other stuff I'm missing, but all I can say is after driving it 1300 miles back to TX... WOW. Absolutely love this thing. Thank God it has an extended warranty because all I hear is horor stories of turbo's blowing and high pressure fuel pumps/injector problems, ect... but for right now it drives perfectly. Corners/handling is incredible, and as it sits it's probably good for high 12's in the quarter. Somehow at 82 mph I was average 29.2 mpg as well which is insane to me.
This is my first foreign car after 5 Pontiacs, so we'll see how it goes but the fit and finish of everything is pretty impressive, especially for a 5 year old car. The interior is a little "colder" per say than Lexus or Audi, but the materials seem to all be high quality. Seats are some of the best I've ever sat in, and the support is great. I would compare them to the Volvo S60R seats I've sat in before, they just work. There is a little bit of lag on the turbo's it seems like to spool up but once they kick in you start moving out pretty quick. For sure a lot more road noise than our Lincoln but that's to be expected. Anway on to the pictures! Oh and paging [MENTION=396]Mike K[/MENTION], can we be friends?
