damn, how much did you lose on that trade lol. nice car though, i would like to trade mine for that.

matt1034 · 02-20-2013, 05:37 PM

Did very well. I put 13k miles on the car and traded it for 3500 less than what I paid plus got 3500 off the new car. It was best case scenario all around thanks to Hendrick BMW in Charlotte.

BMWforLife · 02-20-2013, 08:33 PM

what a coincidence, I did the same thing, take delivery on my car in 2 weeks!

didn’t lose out on the trade very bad at all, i have a good relationship with my dealer

twerle · 02-20-2013, 08:37 PM

Share with us why you did trade ur 328 for a 335 so we will do the same mistake
I own a 335xi right now

nsquared · 02-20-2013, 08:41 PM

I was actually very impressed with the 328 and it's power but knew I was at the end of the road from a power standpoint while still maintaining decent MPG and longevity. Having had both I now realize how good of a car the 328 really was. It is light years ahead of the previous generation. In the end I regretted not getting a few options and for monetary reasons is made sense to upgrade considering the mods I wanted. The torque between the two is no comparison either. I have a P3 cars gauge and have consistently hit 4.6-4.7 0-60 runs which is just amazing IMO. It will bust my E92 M3 off the line.

Wow Happy you got a good deal through them they would not work with me (went to the North Lake store), so i emailed flow bmw and they took my first offer.

I'm guessing you meant 328 and not 438?

Yes, sorry. Corrected now.

bcl0328 · 02-21-2013, 09:23 AM

i should have done this with my car. i really wanted a 335 and still do. i'm past 20k miles now so i'm sure i would get screwed pretty hard on the deal. march will make the car one year old. guess i can wait for the M4.

I does not hurt to go to the dealership and see what your options are.

Jamesons Viggen · 02-21-2013, 09:50 AM

Is that stock ride height?

Sorry... can you clarify this... your 335i M Sport can beat an E92 M3 to 60mph??? If so, wow? I know the car has "balls".. but didn't realize it was this good.

Ironically enough... had a Audi TT RS4 gun it off a line w/ me last night (didn't know he was beside me). We both lined up at the next light... and both gunned it... and I swear on my life... I pulled away to about half a car length to 100 km/hr. I hit the brake at that point (as we were in a 60 zone and didn't want to get nailed). My gut is he would have caught up... but the torque the 335i has will actually kill a lot of cars off the line.

I think even the RS4 driver was surprised (as he made an unexpected right turn at the next light ... almost in shame)... lol

matt1034 · 02-21-2013, 03:25 PM

Maybe not to 60 unless the driver is just terrible but I would say until 30-40 at least. Remember though, I am running a JB4 which makes a big difference in performance. The car is very impressive and only supports that fact that the next M car is going to be sick.

NateDog07V · 02-21-2013, 03:33 PM

What size tires for those 20"s? I'm assuming they're slightly larger than the stock rolling diameter, hence the tiny bit better wheel gap appearance

That would do it... when your speedo says 60, you're actually going 63.. Car looks great BTW !

Thanks! Plenty more to come. I have a set of Satin Black MORR VS8.2's on order that I can't wait to put on.

Factoring what you said that would mean my 0-60 time is actually quicker then correct?
