So, I could come in here with some long story, but suffice it to say that I live a brief walk from my office, campus, downtown, etc., and don't really need a car anymore -- much less a third car. But I felt it was time to add a BMW to the stable again, and had been looking at E90 for some time now. Thus, this is what I ended up with...an E93 335is with the 7-speed DCT (now sans badges...)

i really like how the updated 3 series has kept the sharp cuts and angles that make these cars look so good. i hope the F30 keeps that style too and doesn't get all bubbly and toyish

Hi das,
Your car looks more like a L.A. collage car
Very nice, though.
