Hi all, first post but now but have been poking around for a couple of weeks. Quick info: last car was a 2007 G35coupe also have a 350z and Ducati 1098. About two weeks ago a gave may G35 back to infiniti and bought my first BMW it's 2007, space grey 335I coupe 6mt, sport package with I drive, with coral red interior. Have to admit I didn't really want any type of grey but this one has grown on me. So i know this might already be to long for most but here is my impressions!

Styling - (B+) That is what kept me away from BMW for the most part, i Thought the were a little boring. Functional YES but FUN? in terms of styling NO!
My grade was really a C + but i learned their is SOOOOO much out there for the car that you can really personalize it without it looking like cheap add ons. But my red interior with the mods i did, i would give an "A"

THE DRIVE "A-" the car is really fun to drive,(better the the G35 and even my Z) and now with the mods i have done so far; EVEN BETTER. BUT sometimes it feels to EASY to drive, Not wild enough I want the M5 feel of snaping back in my seat, ohhh and that clutch delay BLAHHHH. but i am being picky. Car is great and i understand why BMW at least the 3 series has won so many awards.

MODS SO FAR!! 1st and Best mod I think was the M3 soft leather steering wheel (feels and looks great) 2nd I changed my shifter knob to the E46 short one...WOW, Now thats how it should have come. 3rd - JB3 2.0 map 3, great great mod, But i guess i wanted even more wow factor (again think M5 in a 3 series skin..lol) I know i am Torque greedy. and last so far i changed the front grills to all black..

So enough about me; Tell me what I NEED TO DO NEXT (value for hard earned money) my intial thoughts are: RIMS, light tint, maybe Carbon or gloss wraped roof and mirrors and some sort of angel eye upgrade.. thanks for all the info E90POST members

interesting comment. IMO, the styling of the E92 is 10x nicer than that of the G35/G37.

welcome.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new car.
To fix the clutch lag you can do a clutch delay valve delete. Very simple to do and makes a night and day difference. Best $25 mod or free if you do it yourself.
