Saw this one coming a mile away, congrats man. I never see this car as a convertible. Don't think you could have found a cleaner car in better condition, nor kept up like that, with all those records. Talk about buyer confidence.

A guy I work with is a BMWophile and when I told him I was looking at 335i's he said that you need to make sure to get a certain year and up (I think it was 2009 but I forget), because the earlier models had electronic steering or electric assist, which is what makes the steering feel numb. But I think if you get the M-sport you get an M steering rack anyway so it negates that. Just something interesting I learned.

I'd be interested to hear some of the quotes you got for the e46, still my favorite M3 of all time. If that's personal, no biggy. Congrats again!

how's teh mpgzzz? :jae:

Well let me put it this way....in fifth gear cruising at 75-80mph you're right around 4k/rpm add to that that you are basically cruising IN the powerband it's hard to stay off the go pedal. The car just wants to run.......

So....to answer your question I've been getting about 25mpg on the highway and probably mid teens around town. It drinks premium gas much faster than the TL.

BUT!!

Do I care? FUCK no!
