Just came in this morning! 2012 BMW 335iS.

Mineral White Metallic, Coral Red interior. Beautiful car and a true joy to drive! I took some pics with my 'new' iPad. Quality was pretty good! Will have some pics of the interior soon, and some more 'professional' pics when the weather clears up here in Cali.

Congrats on the new car! Did you get the coral red interior too? I get so many compliments on my interior, I love it.

Yup, coral red interior. I LOVE it. :)

And I will need a front plate, BUT, I'm not going to cover the air intake. I'm just going to put it on the tow hook over to the side so it doesn't kill the look of the front too badly or cover the intake.

Nice car, I probably would've got an S5 though if my parents were dropping that kind of cash.;)

I looked at both, liked the 335iS more. Don't really need the quattro, and the 335iS definitely performs better. Both cars are getting new body styles next year if I'm not mistaken, but there won't be another 335iS coupe for a while; it was released as a limited edition model.

What he means is use "{TIMG}{/TIMG}" instead. Replace { with [ of course.

I know that, it was just the whole 'chief' thing, and how he has to bring up that my parents paid for it and that if he had parents who could buy him a car that he would have gotten something different.
And I know now that the images are too large, I didn't check after I posted. I thought that I had re-sized them properly on photobucket.

If my parents would by me a car, any car, I would not decline this! I think that when people try to put others down in this manner, it's because they're envious of your situation. Don't let others make you feel anything but happy over your recent acquisition; their critiques reek of jealousy.

I personally had to buy my own car. It wasn't the most beautiful thing, but it cost me $3000 that I saved up for 2 years.

Recently, a drunk driver ran a red and totaled her D: Her metal panels saved me and a friend from dying that night.

Now, my mom passed her car down to me. I'm extremely grateful to her.

Your car is absolutely gorgeous. I would absolutely love a BMW like that. I used to think the E46 coupe was the best looking 3 series but the E92 is growing on me.

Beautiful car. Not my cup of tea, but very nice none the less :cool:
I agree.
I would've went with silver.

Actually I find myself like 4 door cars much more than a coupe. Now that I think about it, I really prefer 4 door sedans over coupes regardless if its a honda, bmw, infiniti, nissan, whatever. Am I the only one?

Don't get me wrong though, your car is awesome.

Just want to drop my opinion.

Buy, sure.
Lease, not sure if I'd accept.

Rather have something that I could keep for many years. Then again, I don't know what he did. Nice car though, looks classy as with all BMW. :)

I just bought this last weekend.

zk7cvv



Scion TC Release Series with a Manual Gearbox, Premium Audio, and Panoramic Sunroof. 167HP Toyota Inline 4.
It's not a sports car by any means, but it handles very well for what it is. Someday I'll also hopefully be able to find a car that's not silver.


On a side note, never buy a tandem garage. It might look like it can hold 4 cars, and it does, but it's a huge hassle to deal with.

EDIT - The image is hosted on my MobileMe, so if you click to view larger it will download to your computer. Just a warning.

I think tandem would be ok if you couldg et out on both sides. That'd actually be kinda fun :D Drive through the garage! WHEE!!! I've made a u-turn inside a 3 car garage before (and my car is big). Yes, it was something like a 4 point turn.. but it was awesome XD

I actually think that would work really well but I've never seen one...basically a pull through garage. I've also made a u-turn in my garage, because there was a car in the way outside that I couldn't move. It was something like an 18 point turn. :p

Let me know what you think of the new plates for the zed. I like them for two reason. One it shows my commitment to the New York State Arts Council, and two it gets rid of the ugly yellow Empire State plates and replaces it with blue which matches the car color better

I agree. When I have kids and I can afford to buy them fancy cars, i sure will! Won't think twice about it. All you have to do is just teach them the value of money and self reliance. There is nothing wrong with getting them something that you can afford.

Nice car.

I drove a 2012 Mustang GT this weekend. I'm starting to think I really want one of them now.

Trying it a bit more, the power delivery is still not that of the Challenger or Camaro, it feels more like what I'm used to, with the power coming through higher in the rev range. I would still need to test drive a manual if I can, because I wouldn't want a car like that for several years with an Auto box, just seems counter intuitive.

Took my wife's little cousin out in it and he loved it, but what kid wouldn't!

Only problem would be fuel costs, but it will basically be a weekend car, but then if it's a weekend car, can I really justify the $25,000-$30,000 car loan :s
