After test driving a couple of cars I have gone for a 335i M Sport saloon. Roll on Monday so I can picker her up !!

Anyway I can check the exact spec of the car ?
Try this, using last 7 digits of VIN.

It's trim around the widows, I believe. Alternative would be chrome.

Monday seems ages away !!

I live in the highlands and picking the car up from the central belt so should be a good drive back especially through Glencoe where I might be able to stretch its legs a wee bit hehe

I had a 328 GT courtesy car last week, and to be honest - I presumed it was a 6 cylinder.

I didn't cane it and just covered 15miles.

It is a bit cheeky to market a 2litre 4pot as a 328 though, but then again the 550 is a 3litre too.

Marketing gone mad....

WOW !!!!

Picked up the car Monday morning and and definitley made the right choice going for the 335i

Power is amazing just keeps building all the way up the revs and lve the auto box I think it suits the car very well.

Had a few full blast in 3rd gear overtakes going through Glencoe and was very impressed with the performance and the noise.

Big grin on my face all the way home.

Will get some pics up shortly once I have removed all the midges from the front end.

Spec is

09 335i M Sport Saloon Auto
41,235 miles
i-drive
Bluetooth
Le Mans Blue
Full leather

The best interior colour in my opinion, the manual I drove was black leather and also Le Mans Blue. smile
