The Z4 is Gone :(

I started looking and thinking what to do after the Z4 lease is up. Many do the M3. I seriously considered one but ended up with the next best thing, a 335is. The plus side being the massive torque we all love. I pondered a new Z4, likely 35is as well but wanted a coupe this time for the opportunity to do more driving schools.

It has the DCT just like the Z4 and even though 100 lbs heavier than the Z4, the extra HP makes up the difference.

I'll still hang around here to see whats new. And give a full report once broken in.

Very nice love the 335s.. Is it a 2012? If it is, you didn't want to wait for the new coupe ?

New coupe won't be available until fall 2013......hard to hold on to an expired lease for almost 2 years

Love it! Nice choice Richard--335is is a classic. I bet you prefer the handling of the E92 as well. The exhaust is music to the ears
