FYI - in case anyone was wondering. I got a 328i Cabriolet and my wife got a 3351x sedan. We love both cars and use them interchangeably depending on the weather. If I was to do it again I would get a 335. It is so superior for pick up and there is nothing like that turbo-boost. Both cars are 6 manuals. The one advantage of the 328 is gas mileage 24 to 28 for the 328 and 21 to 24 sedan. Guess when gas reaches $200 a barrel I might go with another 328, or a Tata air car! |

As most of you may be aware, it is now illegal to use a handheld while driving in California. I know my 335 has bluetooth wirless connectivity but I can't find the manual and don't have time to stop by the dealership. Do any of you guys know how to set it up? If so, can you give me a quick rundown if it's not too much to ask for.  Thanks a bunch. Eric

Although Edmunds states that the DCT will be available in all 3 series, http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=128946 I have read BMW announcements saying ( at least initially ) only the Coupe & 'Vert... - Ray Thinking this a rather odd marketing strategy... |

Last spring I bought a new 2007 335i sedan (red, SP, PP, auto). Yesterday I happened to notice that the ratings on the Potenza RF tires include "Treadware 140". Does that mean 14,000 miles? My Subaru Outback had Bridgestone Turanzas with "Treadware 400".

Replying to: frankw (Jul 29, 2008 11:09 am) In a word, no. Read circlew's link. FWIW, the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires fitted to my Mazdaspeed3 also have a 140 treadwear rating and it looks like I'll get  25000 miles out of them- and that includes three track days spent driving it as it was intended to be driven.

Looks like this thread has been dead for a while, but thought I'd post an update on my 335i sedan just in case someone's watching. It's a 2008 (purchased in October 2007), with major options being the premium package, sports package, and automatic transmission. I now have 25,000 miles on it, and all in all, it's been a very satisfying vehicle. No major problems at all, such as fuel pump or overheating issues. It came with the Bridgestone Potenza runflats, and they were fine for about the first 15,000 miles. After that, they started getting a little noisy, at 20,000 miles, they were progressively worse, and at 25,000, I couldn't take it any more, so I switched them out for a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. They still had plenty of tread left, but they were cupped so bad, I couldn't stand the noise. It's still early with the Michelins, but it sounds and feels like a new car again now. I've had a couple of minor annoyances that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced. First, on cool or cold days, after the first couple of stops, when I take my foot off the brake to start again, the car will hesitate, then jerk like someone hit me in the rear end. After the car is warmed up (driven 2 or 3 miles) this goes away, and it doesn't happen at all on warm days. Second, I have the HD radio with the ipod adapter, and with the radio, often when I'm listening to an HD1 station, when I turn the car off and come back to it later, the station has changed to HD2. Also, I like to listen to the ipod on random, but whenever I turn the car off, then back on, I have to reselect random. If anyone has experience either of these problems and found a resolution to them, I would appreciate hearing from you. Otherwise, as I said, it's been a very reliable and satisfying vehicle.
