I don't think you did a bad thing at all. My dad temporarily got the 335i as a rental when he was having problems with his bimmer and it was one of the most enjoyable rides I have been in. I think the 335i is great and hope you enjoy it, hopefully you remain satisfied.

Lease deal info is on the first page of this thread......and I will put more pics up soon, just been too busy driving the damn thing :thumbup:
Also, I have been reading up on the JB S1 and it seems a lot of people are opposed to the S1 because all it does is increase boost and doesn't alter A/F ratios. Basically, the S1 is some wires and a resistor.....kinda has me thinking twice. |

Simplicity in design and execution is not a flaw, quite the contrary. Some of the more complex piggyback solutions are fraught with installation issues, gas issues, engine codes - in addition to the much higher price. Even when these issues are taken care of, you have to consider the longevity and reliability of the engine when running *twice* as much boost as stock (from 8.5psi peak to over 16psi peak). I could afford either one - but chose to go with simple & durable this time around. I'll revisit the more expensive options when they have proven themselves over time. Quote:
I'm currently considering JB S2 just for fun, not because I need any additional power. But at these prices, why not experiment a little bit?

I fight this temptation every frickin' day!!
I sold my Z3 coupe (stupid!stupid!stupid!) in February (stupid!), and have been without a car ever since. I am commited to waiting for the 1er, but this is pretty damn frustrating, and it is going to be a cold winter. It sure would be nice to spend the winter in a 335i instead of waiting for the wife out on the curb! |

BTW, you are going to have to get some pictures up. I'd love to see how that leatherette looks. I've got leatherette in my MINI and love it half to death but I am curious to see how it compares to a 'real BMW' leatherette.

I promise to get some up tomorrow. It is black leatherette with brushed alluminum trim. Have any specific picture requests? I am sure everyone here has seen enough pics of the 3 so there aren't really any surprises. I will def get some close ups of the leatherette, though.

Think of it this way: With 1500 spent in mods you are only spending $500/yr or $42/mth or $1.37/day. I don't know about you, but I assume if you bought a $40k car you have an extra $1.37 a day laying around. Boost is fun. More boost is more fun. |
