My Ride: BMW 530i 05
M-technic Silvergrey whith beige dakotaleather
Yesterday I had the chance too drive the 335i in 1 hour. First of all this car is beutyful from outside and inside.
I starded the engine and was suprised what a awesome sound it haves I started too drive it slow and reached the roundabout and I can only say that my car handels better in the curves, when I was leaving the roundabout I pushed it too the max and shit pommes frit this car is realy realy fast The new steptronic is twice as fast than mine and I have newer drived a better automatic transmission. The bad news is then you drive it at high speeds it is a bit noisy especialy from the windows :thumbsdown: I leaved the motorway and stoped too test the 0-100km/h and turned of DTC and selected the first gear and lounched it I was spechelles how fast and good this car pulls from low too hig rpm and whith a realy awesome sound from the engine and exhousts I have tested the 130i whith 265ps whith manuell tranny and can only say that this car is heavyer and have AT and only 40 ps more, not a chance It fells so much more faster than the 130i
I will for sure change too the facelifted 535i in MARS 07

Does the 335i come with runflats? If it does is it plagued by the same rough ride as the E60s equiped with rft tyres?

Yes! Standard is 17" but also the extra 18" and 19" wheels are equipped with RF's.

Can't wait to see what the price is for a 535i. I has to be priced between the 530 and the 550. So I guess it will be around $4-5K USD more. So a well equiped 535i will cost around $63K out the door. That is expensive!
