Oh okay. Yeah I got SGM too but I think those rims would also look good with black.

If I get a 335 or m3 my choice would be that red leather. I like it a lot. I think they call it fox red or something.

we had tons of thread comparing 335 to the 350, but IMO they're all bias reviews. someone on this board ran a 12.8, but c'mon....he's on R compound tires. as a 350 owner myself, I'd say 335>350

I still don't understand what you're saying in your original post. That the bmw is a much better handler before the f springs and shocks and still better than the IS after the springs and shocks? But you got rid of it after 1 day because the wife hates red interiors? Why didn't you bring your wife to go look at it first?

just what u said. I was kind of disappointed with F-sport shocks and spring b/c it still was nowhere near the handling level of the 335 w/ sport package.

I never liked the F-sport wheels at first, but every time I see them they look better and better. They look good on your car!

As for the Bimmer, Coral red is definitely interesting, but the audi red looks better. Best interior color on an E9X is Saddle Brown IMHO.

Are you planning on sticking with the 350 or would you switch to a 335 again if you found one with a different interior?

I agree. there was a bmw dealer next to the carmax(along with the ferrari dealer) and I really liked the white 335 coupe with saddle brown leather.

I really think i'll trade up again if the car has all the right options( one I had for a day was fully equipped).

So let me get this straight, you sold back your IS350, then gave back the
335. So what car is in the pics

Didn't you sell your F-Sport Rims on here? Did you buy it again?

Soo that's what my car would look like with F-Sport rims!

Wheels look great on SGM!
