Perfect timing! I just delivered this one yesterday... This gorgeous 335i has red leather interior -- the same color combo of my own 335i that is sitting in Germany as I type waiting to board a vessel. The buyer placed his order back in March. Since it was a SA build, it took seemingly forever to get here... The good news for the buyer is I gave him a rocking deal. Next to my BMW employee deal, probably the best anyone has gotten anywhere on a 335i. Unfortunately, I won't have another one available for Bimmerfesters for the foreseeable future (but lots of 328is, though)!

Oh man I got to stop coming in this forum, I will go crazy with anticipation for my alpine 335i. It looks awesome, still have not seen a single alpine 335i sport on the streets or a dealership. If it looks just half as good as it does in pictures I will be ecstatic.

Yes, unfortunately. We went 4 months between allocations. In the meantime, more than enough 328i to go around...

hey Jon please let us know if they are having any issues with producing 335's. it seems to me its crazy to keep us 335i customers waiting while they are pumping out the 328i like it is going out of style. Any reasoning behind this? Why are they refusing to insert more build spots for the 335i? its not like the N55 is a brand new engine and they are having production issues to iron out. Other than the engine and the exhaust system its essentially the same car isn't it?

Massive Ribbon? When I go to pick up my Alpine White 328i (hopefully end of Aug), should I be expecting a big ribbon on it? Or not every dealer does that?

Not every dealer does that. However, my dealer has a special garage space just off the show room where they do deliveries. You can see the opening from the street, and there is always someone taking delivery of their new car in the evening when I drive by. Make me crazy!! I can't wait for mine to arrive!

I'm the only one that I know who does it. It is a personal tradition I started a long time ago (before Bimmerfest was born).

The other CAs laugh at it, but I honestly want my customers' deliveries to be memorable.

This is an M Sport, not a Sportline, right?

Is the M Sport being delivered already?

PS Never mind, I see the 1st two pics are a different car.

How is alpine white different from mineral white metallic? Can someone describe in words or illustrate through pictures? Thanks.

Mineral White has a pearl like finish. So in certain light it isn't quite white and has the same visual characteristics of a pearl. When you look closely at the paint you can see the metallic finish sparkle.

Alpine white is almost like a flat white, its just white no matter what angle or light you look at it in.

^Your photos aren't showing up. On another note...does the dealer really hold the car that long before its "delivered" to the customer? What all does the dealer have to do to prep the car??

Then I finally got my car, Incredible "toy".
I just love the adaptive cruise control and the HK sound system.
The M-performance power kit make the engine run smoother in direct comparison with a standard 320d but I havenīt taking any advance of the power yet (only 750 km total until now).

I really canīt believe that BMW will take any profits by keeping track of "S850A Additional Export tank filling". I was told that they calculate the number of start and stop until the vehicle arrives to the dealer, the the amount of diesel vary between 3.4 and 5.0 liters.

I do not understand that they translate the literature, but not the car menus "S853A Language version English" and "S888A On-board vehicle literature Danish"

Thanks, yeah I love it. I get a lot of compliments cuz of it. It's like having a hot wife(car) with nice big boobs(coral interior) lol. It's a plus. Call me crazy but I'm thinking of powder coating the stock wheels to match the interior and lowering it of course

it' so more menscing... it makes the grilles look visually biger, so thqt it looks even more a sports car (sports car usually ahve really functional air entrances in the front...

A front bumper spoiler would really make it even more menacing. Take a look at 3d design ones, and take a look at ebay "F30 + spoiler" , the are tons... google for F30 + tuning and you eill see many photos!m

i think i'll have to wait one more week to have my alpine white here... as soon as possible i'll post photos... it's a 328 sport, but with the M package with the M bumpers with those black details in the lower part off the front bumper, black rear "wing " spoiler,, black roof, tinted windows "on delivery" but rettaining the 18 sport wheels, wich i like a lot... 19 and 20 inch here just don't cut... too bad asphalt....
It was going to come with the black stripes too, but my wife got crazy with those too much attention atracting stuff in the car... She didn't let me think about buying a red one, so, alpine white, but, whith the M exterior package upgraded... she doesn't even dreams what's coming he he...
