Love that car, looks fantastic. That folding top mechanism on this car is just out of this world too. Love the color combo too; I agree this is a combo that looks better in person than it does in flash-ridden dark pictures. Have fun with that, top down in the summer!!

Sweet car, although rear seats look worthless except for shopping.

Nice. I think the 3 series coupe/convertible styling is probably one of my favorite current designs.

Congrats on the new 3

JUst so we make it clear, there's no flaming here. Club Lexus owners do own other brands, not the other way around

Is there a convertible out there with any usable back seat???:

I too have contemplated picking up an E92 coupe. Don't feel ashamed, it's a great car and respected by all.

But why the dildomatic?

red interior and sports package. If you're new the 335 scene, and you want to chip your car, I highly advise you to purchase the Juice Box by Burger Motor Sports. And stay the HELL away from Vishnu Procede, PM me and ill tell you why.

BTW i still like the isf better
Hey thanks man, Yeah, congrats on your ride too! I'm going to enjoy it for a year before I procede/xede it...need to get that new feel for her
Anyhow, I've been reading up on the E92s for a while so it's nothing new to me :-)

Yeah, the IS-F is nice...but that IS convertible looks like IS without 2 doors...

the back seat is surprisingly not THAT bad - I'm 6'1" and look:


lol, I don't really like giving out my pictures, but just so you guys can see, I didn't move the seat back fully, but at the same time, when I went from the back seat to the front, it was fine. Not like those small little SLKs - I would almost say this is what it felt like in the IS350 when I sat in the backseat

So firstly, let me tell you about the 335i's tranny. It's a ZF transmission with a 6-spd auto and sports mode. The ZF tranny is among the fastest in the world for shifting times, almost comparable to VWs DSG/DCT transmissions.

Secondly, I'm in traffic an awful lot of times, and I just got annoyed with the 6-spd manual....trust me my friend, the "dildomatic" isn't any "slushbox" you just step on and go....not to mention the paddles are a fun complement.

Tell me how it goes on your search for your E92 :-)

To all, thanks for all the comments!!!
