As some of you may have read my iDrive failed so my 550i has been at BMW for a week now and I have a 335i for a loaner and man! I love this car it is so fun to drive. It is ridiculously quick i thought my 550i was quick (which it is) but all i can say is MAN! if i owned this thing i would have tickets every week it is just to fun to drive. honestly my only issue with it is that it's just too small (I'm a pretty tall guy.) I kinda like the fact it doesn't have iDrive cause iDrive canbe suck a distraction sometimes, not that i would want to go without iDrive, but it can get frustrating at times especially when it doesn't work. but with the 335 I did get a ll frustrated with the ipod system seems as though I can't play playlists on it?!?! not sure i was thinking about getting an ipod adaptor for my car but if i can't play my playlist I don't think it's worth it. As for the 335 it handles very well it is just a driving mechine (the ultimate driving mechine.) I was a lil upset when I went to grabbed a couple things from the store and hold the button the pop the trunk open and it didn't fly up in the air like in my 550, it just unlatched. over all the 335 is just fun to drive but not something i would want to have as a daily driver.

You are so lucky to get a 335. I got a 09 328i when I took the 550 in. But I did drive a 335 before and they are awesome. I did feel kind of out of place without my idrive but other than that it was really fast. It was my friends car and he had that Juice box upgrade. In all it is an awesome car. The trunk on the E60 is the best. If you have something heavy that you don't want to put on the floor to open your trunk just press the button and pop goes the trunk then slip it right in. I did the same thing with his car. I pressed the button and waited for it to pop up but nothing.
