Oh and colors are important too - Alpine white being the top choice and Space Gray Metallic being a distant second... more details over PM/text/phone/in person woohoo

When I traded my E61 530d for my E60 550i at the beginning of the year, I was seriously considering the 335i M-Sport on 19" M225s in Saphire Black But practicality and my yearning for a V8 won the battle in the end... oh and Mrs xBMWx didn't want a coupe (- yes, that was the most deciding factor )

Good luck with the search and enjoy the test drives...

I've gotta first figure out the trade on mine, so let's hope all goes smooth.

Wish me luck, ladies and gents

You've been pining for a 335 for a while now. Sounds like one is on its way to you.

335i. I would love to see your 530 finally finished. But with all the problems on the car. It's not worth it

GL. Hope you get a good deal on the trade.
