Please do! Too bad - that color looks great, and the 1 series only comes in sparkling graphite, not both like the 3.

can you post pics of the inside of your car? now that i think about it, i don't believe i've ever seen a coupe without the iDrive. what would be in place of the iDrive screen?

Damn....that is freakin' fast....
4.14 ? Wow.
Well, you'll be missed around here Vadim.
Thanks for all the great input you've given over the years.
But I can't blame you for wanting a 335.
Saw a 335 convertible the other day....sweet.
But I too still can't quite get used to the new BMW style.
I still lust for an 80's E24.

But, yeh, so fast, it'll be boring at normal speeds.
You cruise control is your "speed limiter".

Thanks for the kind words!!! I am with you on the styling issue. I was not very impressed by the new 3-series sedan, but the coupe looks quite a bit "de-Bangled" in comparison - in fact, it is a completely different car! It only shares 3 external parts with the sedan.

Consider it a positive thing: you will have enough time to gather all sorts of info about your next car of choice. And thanks!

Great choice! I have a keen eye on the 328i coupe myself (not sure I want to step up to the plate for a 335i because I'm afraid of speeding tickets). The car handles beautifully; once again, BMW has made a car with handling that rivals some mid-engine cars.
