The price we got was $104,000 dollars with about every option there is.
Is this the US $ conversion?

My question for you guys, is how would a 535 compare to this or a 545.
The 335i is ~150 lbs lighter and has a few more hp due to a better flowing exhaust than a 535i. By removing the 535i spare and jack and going with lighter wheels the difference will be negligible.

Well I went to a local e90post meet earlier, there was also a really nice 1 series. This guy has a 335i with juice box 3, it apparently adds about 100hp. I believe they have juicebox for 535 right? I rode in his car, and let me tell you, this thing is a absolute rocket/beast compared to my car. There was 4 people in the car, so I can only imagine driving it. After riding in that it really makes me want to buy the 335I sedan with that juicebox mod. My question for you guys, is how would a 535 compare to this or a 545. My car is frankly underpowered, and I would love to have something as fast as that thing.
Dammit Phil! You need to call me for these meets!

wish we can get this in HK that will cost much less than a M3 and has the same power.

Just got back from the dealer's and was able to check out/test the 335i hardtop with my wife. One thing: that thing is very powerful!

I didn't like one thing though: it's a bit small for someone using an E60 as a daily driver.

The price we got was $104,000 dollars with about every option there is.

On the way home, we talked about it a bit and still can't decide on it easily. Mostly since it's a bit cramped for the people inside compared to the E60.....

But yeah, Tex_Phil, go ahead and get one!!!
did you try the saloon or the coupe?
I used to have a E46 and when I change to E60 I don't think I will go back to a small saloon car.
The only 3er I get is the 335i coupe Convertible nothing elas.

you heard, but we witnessed it with out own eyes.
It really depends how the cars were setup, addtional add-ons, maps, etc...

Dinan flash vs JB3 I would put my money on the JB3 everytime. JB3 is easily pushing an extra 20+hp.

The Procede would beat both, especially with a race map.
