Default As requested: pics of my new car (335i)

Well, as requested, here are some pics of the new car I got last weekend with some commentary

It's a 2007 335i sedan. Very dark blue (called Monaco Blue) with grey/black interior and aluminum trim). RWD, 6-speed steptronic, 3.0L TT I6 rated at 300hp and 300tq... dynos peg them about 10% underrated though. It has the sport suspension package and a bunch of other stuff. Almost everything but nav and laser cruise control.


Bi-xenon headlights (high and low, plus driving lights and fog lights (though only four of the 8 can be on at any given time). The headlights turn up to 15 degrees with the turning of the steering wheel, so when you take turns the lights follow the road for you. It's kinda disorienting at first until you get used to it.


You can kinda see the backup sensors back here. They're neat - they play the backup beeping sound in the speaker on the side of the car where the object is detected and get quicker/louder in their beeping the closer the car gets. So far it has been more helpful than I thought it would be. Or at least maybe makes me a little more confident when backing up...


18" wheels w/ run flat tires


The tires/wheels are staggered in size, so no rotating them...


Not gonna touch that!










This is what it looks like at night when you first walk up to it. You can see the LED lights that shine down to light around the car - they're brighter in person than they look in that pic. Kind of a cool touch.
