I've been trying to get rid of my C230 for a couple of months now with no luck! Dealers want to rip me a new one!

So looks like i'm going to have to wait another year!

I want to get myself into a new 335i coupe.

Thanks guys!

Actually, I never intended on getting this... I went in looking to buy a 335i Coupe but the 7 dealers I went to all were dicks about it and wanted me to wait a minimum of 6-8 weeks some even said till March and they wouldn't give me more than $1k off of sticker. I joked around with one of the dealers about the M3 and we worked a deal and I ended up getting this...

All in all, I'm happy, got a great deal on this, it doesn't have the low end power of the 335i, but it hauls major *** and feels great in terms of not just handling but everything else. I test drove the M3, 335i Coupe, and CLK55 AMG (Vert) and I have to say the M3 was the most fun out of the lot. I was very disappointed in the CLK55--it felt like a boat...

One the other hand though, my salesman, finance manager, service client rep (or whatever the guy giving me a tutorial on the M3 was) all were commenting on how nice the C230K was and loving the CF lip...

I hope you got a good deal, BMW is having a sale on the M3 -- about $5,000 off the MSRP (making room for the new M3), which bring it to about $43K, only $3K more than the 335 Coupe. They are trying to get me to sell my 330i ZHP for an M3 upgrade... But with the Competition Pckg. on the M3 and all the options it's come out quite expensive.

But if any of you are thinking about getting a bimmer, I'd say get the M3, it's one of the best BMW performance cars (second to the M5). This is a pretty good deal, and I know the 335i Coupe seems/look popular, but don't fool yourself - it cannot touch the M3.

So congrats on the M3!! You've mad the right choice.



Tee_Tz.

Dude, it looks tight. I had bad migrane when you called me so I couldn't reach over to pick up the phone. Congrats, dawg. Very good choice on the semi-temporary car. Still gotta go and for your accomplishment.
