Well, Im very intrigued with the 335i Coupe.I like the idea of a refined car with power. I am looking to purchase within the next year. I am interested to know if theres anything I should look out for on these cars. EX: common problems, tips, tricks, ordering process. etc.

Ive been trolling the boards for a while, so I am trying to learn as much as I can with the time given. BTW, this willl be a daily driver upgrade from a 98 Camaro SS.

Most people shoot for an invoice + xxxx deal.
Also if your time allows look into Euro Delivery. http://www.bimmerfest.com/wiki/index...opean_Delivery

And try to do business with a Board Sponsor if it works for you. They all are professional, no BS, and upfront. And they help pay for the forum we enjoy because it increases their sales. http://www.e90post.com/forums/adsponsorlist.php

Since the cars are twin turbos some people enjoy modifying the car to extract a little more HP. http://www.e90post.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=58

Be aware that doing so may void your warranty.

Run a search on a question. Odds are it's been asked before. And grow a little thick skin as some kind folks are a bit more ornery than others. And love to post things like. and Other than that. Enjoy and welcome to the circus.

Nice choice on upgrading the car BTW.

pretty much what he said.. just search, search, and search.. thats how i did all my investigating

i ordered my '09 coupe $500 over invoice.. so you can muster a deal like that for sure

also, since the intital batch of '09s that made it to the states are being held up due to recertification by the EPA.. some speculate this is because BMW may have addressed the wastegate and turbo lag issues on the '09 motors.. we will find out later this month when people take delivery

good luck and welcome to the boards
