Default Dumped Justin Beiber

Finally dumped my Lexus I called Justin Bieber (cause it looks athletic and tough on the outside but is weak at its core lol) and went back to the German side. It was fun but I couldn't wait for the 4yrs to be up to pay it off. Was very reliable but even more boring! Picked me up a 2013 335is with 22k miles. Got it for a steal because the non-BMW dealer priced it as a standard 335i instead of a 335is. Have a JB4 tune on the way so i'll see y'all in my rearview! Peaaaaaace!!!

day i got her tinted

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! I hope to one day own a german car again (preferably a BMW) only this time with a warranty lol. Especially since the 335i has even more issues than your average 3 series. But then again... its not your average 3 series lol. Especially with that JB4

Hope you take care of and enjoy your new ride!!

I don't get it, did you have a 250 before? I find the IS350 to be pretty fun, though you do have to turn off the traction control and keep it on "power" mode to make it fun. I often times find myself thinking about going with a 335, or newer 235i but idk, BMW is synonymous with poor(er) reliability, though I love BMW cars themselves, I am just not sold on actually owning one. For me, the next step will be an ISF with a tune, if I need more power than that I will see a psychiatrist instead of look for a different car

Since you're now in "The Ultimate Driving Machine" and also in Florida, you're more than welcome to join my club at the next AutoX track day event to see how many of us you can put in your rearview (if your car doesn't go into limp mode).

Hey nice car! I remember when my friend had a 335is a few years back and did a jb4... Really fast! I have a jb4 on my current '15 335 sedan and it really hauls *** lol. Still kept my is350 for its reliability though. Hope you enjoy the car! I highly recommend kwv3 if you ever do suspension

How do you find the 335i power vs the IS350? Thinking of upgrading to one of the two but not sure which would be the better one.

Well the torque comes on right around 1400 and really pushes you back in the seat. I love how fast it shifts compared to the IS and also the way it handles in corners. The IS350 is a great car but I'm in dire need of more power lol. I must say that stock for stock, the 335 and 350 feel almost the same. The BMW just pulls a bit harder. Any mod on the 335 like a downpipe or tune and it destroys the IS. How reliable it will be in the long run? Not sure and don't care since it's a 3 year lease

Justin Bieber (cause it looks athletic and tough on the outside but is weak at its core). Ummm too me the kid looks weak weighing at about A BUCK 10. The toughest thing, this kid, has ever done was lace up his kicks.

Did you have a IS250 or IS350? 335i and IS350 are pretty neck to neck in terms of performance.

I would save some of that tuner money for repairs, you are going to need it for that German Time-Bomb.
