Just came back from the event. Me and my wife drove the 650 and 335. Totally unipressed by the 650, but the 335 was a blast to drive. The car drives perfect, unfortunately its built quality reminds me of a civic. From the cheap dashboard, the cheap floormats, exposed seat rails with exposed bolts.... to manual steering wheel tilt. Just does not feel premium at all.

In any case, we spoke to the salesmas and got a dirt cheap 36 month lease quote on 335i coupe of around $450 per month, with only 2500 down. I gotta say, its very tempting... or it was until we walked into the Lexus dealer across the street. One glance into any Lexus model, and the Luxury is just so in your face, it wins you right over.

I got a quote of $1050 per month on 36month lease for 2008 SC430, with 2500 down. Is that a typical rate?

LOL.. The car is not cheaply built but you are entitled to your opinion $450 is a pretty darn good deal if this a sport pack & premium pack 335?? I doubt it is though.. Me & my gf had a blast! I will post a few pics in a moment..

LOL, my wife said if she was 25 again, she wouldn't even want anything else but the 335. She said it reminded her of the M3 she used to have in mid 90ies.
