I have been looking off and on for a new car for the past year or so. Originally I was aiming for a c6 Corvette and keeping it as a 3rd car strictly for fun. As time passed and I had time to think about things, having 3 cars in the family was not the best idea. Mostly because we don’t have the space. I began looking at BMW’s, at first the 1 series cars, but soon realized 2 doors wouldn’t not cut it if I had to haul kids around. Next up on the list, 3 series sedans with slush boxes and manual paddles, kid friendly yet still fun in sport mode. I have been watching the used and dealer market for the past 6 months or so, waiting for something to show up that had what I wanted. I was about ready to give up until next summer when I saw a 2009 335xi that was fully loaded, had the M-sport package (rare!) and the exact color combo I wanted. I was saddened that when I talked to the seller it was pending sale During the same time-frame I was also looking at a couple other 335i’s that did not have navigation and no M-sport (but basic Sport package). I was really close to buying a monaco blue 2007 335i when I got an email from the seller of the 335xi of my dreams, saying the car was back on the market! I talked to the buyer and found out the car had some Dinan modifications done to it as well, I went to look at is asap. This car was exactly what I wanted in a BMW; Alpine White, Premium pkg, Cold weather pkg, M-Sport pkg, Navigation, black leather interior, it was perfect. In addition, the seller added some great modifications including BBS 19″ RGR wheels, Dinan stage 2 engine/boost and suspension upgrades, Dinan exhaust, and Dinan upgraded oil cooler. All things that I would have done to a stock BMW 335. I jumped on the opportunity, after test driving it and having it inspected at my local BMW dealer, and I am loving it. This car is amazing! Enough talk, onto the pictures, you can see them all in my BMW 335xi album.
