lol I'm trying to take my mind off of evo's boys...I have no doubt that I'll have that voice in the back of my head saying I should get a used one.

But...for right now, that this particular point in my life, this is a good move for me. And as for getting an automatic - well I loved the stick shift on the evo, but if this is gonna be my only ride, and driving all over the place in traffic...automatic just made sense....my lease is up in 3 years...we'll see how i feel then.

Congrats. With all the attention that I have been receiving lately, I too have thought about making a change. I almost said that with a straight face. Who am I kidding. I couldn't get rid of my Evo. Too much fun but I do understand the change. I'm considering buying my Wife one, not sure but anyway, good luck and I'm sure you will be happy the next time you're stuck in traffic and not have to worry about clutch brake clutch brake clutch brake!

oops sorry - forgot to mention sports package...got that, along with comfort access, heated seats, ipod adapter and paddle shifters. I got everything i really needed, nothing I didn't....and i couldn't bring myself to spend 2100 on the navi/i-drive...

yeah i've heard a lot of horror stories about the fuel pump over on e90post...I have roadside assistance on speed dial....o well, the second I get a long crank, I'll take it to the dealership but hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I can't justify that much money on dinan man...its just too much, even though I know it has a "warranty"....but like i said, I'm going to try to keep the engine stock as long as possible.

In June, the 3-series gets like an $800 base price increase, along with a huge drop in residuals for leasing...so it's def a kick in the ***** now.

Luckily I ordered mine in april so I locked in the price and residuals on my lease deal.

if i ever got rid of my evo the only bmw i could see myself getting into is the m3 but that's because i still want power. never rode in the 335 so don't know what it is like but looks nice as all bimmers do, congrats
