New Member - Just got a 335i!

Hey just would like to introduce myself. I'm a proud owner of a new 2007 Jet Black 335i! I've own only Japanese cars and was 99% sure about getting the IS350, but after test driving the 335i, I had to get it. Now I know why BMW always wins those comparison tests despite being beaten on the paper specs and price! Already took my new baby on some canyon roads, but I just can't wait until the break-in period is over!

Congrats man! I probably would have gone with the IS350 as well except for the fact that there is no 6 spd! Lexus' loss is BMW's gain! haha . . .

Congrats! As many people have told me, once you go European luxury, you really don't want to go back to Japanese if you don't have to

What Japanese car(s) did you come from? I don't know if a strut bar should be one of your first mods.. usually something that would (generally) benefit a japanese car more than a BMW. Do you E90 guys notice a difference when added? I know on the E46 the shock towers are pretty close to the firewall so extra bracing won't really make a difference. I'd get one just cause it looks cool.

Happy Modding!!!

It was really cold outside, so I just took some quick pics.






I posted on the main forum about pieces coming out of my front left spring. I found the rubber seal had broken open and and broken white plastic ring. I haven't hit any bumps during my 1300 miles of driving (thus far just highway driving on the 5 from LA to SF) I'll going to dealer tomorrow and ask what's up this with this.
