THanks guys but yea WW only

 

Tell your local BMW dealer to locate you one and order you one. When I was buying the EVO i was stuck between the evo and an m3 both 2010 brand new. I went with EVO due to it being an EVO plus its like 15k cheaper. When I looked at M3s alot of things came into play as I could have gotten a used Vett or a new gt500. I still want either of those 3 cars but I will only get em as a second/third car. I wont replace the evo, havent had this much fun in a car

For the M3, I wanted white as well with navi and they found me a couple. Not sure if the 335 is gonna be different. Dont forget you are the buyer, they better work for you not the other way around. Worse case scenario there are a crap ton of BMW dealers all around the nation, find another closer one to you. I didnt buy the EVO from my local dealer I got it from Texas but had the dealer buy it for me so I wouldnt have to deal with out of state purchase and crap.

 

I've owned a couple brand new cars within the past couple years. My '11 evo paint has held up very well. Drove it thru the winter with sand on the roads in KC. I have clear bra on the rear doors...thinking this was unnecessary, clear bra'd the metal parts up front. The plastic front facia looks good...

 

for what it's worth I sold my '10 gt500 to get the '11 evo because the shelby was crap for multiple reasons that I don't want to get into because for whatever reason people get super defensive about mustangs lol... grap the m3 for your next car, pass on the gt500 imo

 

Thank you, not a troll! Seriously, this car is a love-hate car, no in between. If you're being that nit picky about things like paint/exhaust sound to make you're decision, I'm telling you, you won't enjoy you're Evo. Now if it's about raw power, easily modifiable, and handling better than Jesus himself, buy the Evo and **** everything else.

I have about 3500 miles, but I drive mainly highways at night without much traffic. I also go out of my way to stay out of the "blast zone" behind other vehicles. I have maybe 2-3 chips that I noticed up close when doing the clay bar recently.

 

not for nothing but ive driven both and bmw paint isnt MUCH better than mitsu paint.. but i will say that mitsu paint SUCKS !

 

Yes, Mitsubishi paint sucks! I had mine for a week and had to chips already. One in the hood and the other in the driver side passenger door : (

 

It doesn't matter the color they all chip pretty easily, i have a good amount of rock chips due to daily highway driving, up close they are noticeable but at any distance they are really hard to see. But my pet peev is the soot on the rear bumper, gota clean that crap or i settles in your wax.

 

I would have to say that for having my car now for what 3-4 months I Love it when i'm at the track or auto cross. it's a WW MR Paddles are awesome rowing through the gears is awesome too. and no need for a clutch! when your in city traffic it gets better.. auto baby!


I do have alittle bit of buyers remorse.. However there is no other car awd turbo that id have.


if i choose another car.. i'd probably do my research and buy another Volvo V70R that has actually been well taken care of. I loved <3<3 my v70r the absolute best car for ski weekends, bicycle racing weekends, you can even fit an ikea couch in box in the back of the car!! i have pictures to prove it. I have thought about buying an older welll used subaru wagon of some sort.. a B-spec would be amazing.

over all. the Evo is well worth it and as i owe a millions apon billions of bucks on the car i'll be paying for it for another 81 monhts . stuck with it and any deprecation for the next 3 years or so. after fees taxes interest and upgrades + extra warrenty it was 61287$ .. for comparrison, my buddy wanted to sell me his IS-F for 58k

 

I've had mine since December and i have 3 major areas of concern. I clear bra-ed the hood, bumper and partial fenders as well as side skirts and door edges.

With all that protection, I would have thought i was well protected. My main gripes are:

1. Rock chip on the leading edge of my driver side C Pillar
2. Driver side door handle
3. Passenger side door handle

The Clear Bra has held up well.
The rock chip I do have, i can't be too upset because i heard the rock hit and it would have chipped any car
The door handles irk me more than anything else. There are so many little scratches inside the door handle, its ridiculous.
