Good luck, I was going to buy that in December. I went to and contacted at least 6 different dealerships. They either didn't have their allocation or only wanted to give me a $1000 price break. I wanted a fully loaded 335i Coupe and was willing to order it (the earliest I would have had it is March). One of the dealers even tried to get me to take a 335i in a color I didn't want with not even the options I wanted. Stupid asses...

I figured I would just pay a little bit more and get the M3.

btw, as for the Nissan "plastic" debate, I have to agree, the Nissan interiors are horrible--they're cluttered and cheap looking. Too many buttons that can be basically whittled down to a few and far too much plastic.

Sauceboy, great idea! A lot of talk about the 335, some of it very positive and some of it very negative. I must say from test driving it myself: it's super! It actually FEELS faster than an M3, although it actually isn't. Yeah, at the moment it'll be hard to get one - especially if you want certain options and stuff (and want a coupe), however, wait until Feb, March and then it'll be easier. But I must say it's a fantastic car!

What about a C32/C55? Prices seems to be starting to fall as the W203 ends. You get 4-Doors and lots and lots of power!

My 330i ZHP goes back in March, so perhaps it's time to upgrade or maybe just stick without and buy it out.

The G35 is a nice looking car, as far as asian cars go, I haven't driven in one, a buddy in college got one and I have to admit I drooled a bit, but not for long, especially after I drove a 350Z. It was peppy, but I felt like I was sitting on the bottom of a black rubbermaid container with portholes for windows. I don't see the attraction.

Seems like a pretty good decision. The readon i'm very much into the 335i is because of;

#1 Relative Affordability for what is offered.
#2 Tunablity
#3 Aesthetically beautiful
and so on and so forth.

Further testing suggests that the 335 although just SLIGHTLY slower from 0-60 but is actually quicker to 120mph.

Also, Vishnu Tuning is offering an Xede chip which is yielding roughly between 320-330 WHP for $1300.00 it's safe, as well as runs more RICH than STOCK.
