Replying to: jagg (Sep 24, 2008 6:39 am) I purchased an 08 335i sedan manual with Sports Pacakge and BMW assist. The 335 is more fun than the 06 330, I'll tell you that for sure. MSRP on the 08 335i above was $42,500 including destination. I bought it for $40,160 (not including tax, registration, and $50 doc fee), zero down at 0.9% 5 year finance. MSRP for an 09 335 equipped like above (note, logic 7 is an extra now) is $44,700. 0.9% financing is probably not available for the 09 and most likely you'll probably have to pay near MSRP for an 09 where as I saved more than 2k off MSRP for the 08. Note: What that means is that, realistically, you'll likely pay about $3k more for an 09 for the same car. And that's NOT including the extra costs associated with a higher finance rate. Some other things to consider besides the significant extra $$ for an 09 are: - 09 Sports Package forces you to get glossy shadow line trim instead of aluminum trim (around the windows)..I personally think the aluminum looks better..especially if you're getting a black exterior. - 09 sedan, Sports Package wheel rims are the same as coupe. I personall like the 08 sedan rims (with Sports Package). - 09 logic 7 costs extra where it's standard for the 08 - 09 performance/driving experience = 08 Obviously, right now it will be hard to find an 08 that matches your exact preferences. You may need to compromise or..if you're insistant on particulars, get the 09. Lastly, I'd urge you to look into the new 09 S4 comming out THIS month! It will come super charged. I'd hold out for reviews before making your final choice as the S4 will weigh more than the 335i (not sure by how much) and this may hinder its driving experience. Good Luck, Joseph San Diego

This is hillarious! I wonder if they took the 09 iDrive into account.. " Top 10 Scariest New Car Features .. 4. iDrive Even among the trio of similar dashboard interfaces from Audi and Mercedes, BMW's iDrive is utter knobsense. Directional inputs send you to various submenus, but in most models there are no shortcut or previous-screen buttons around the knob. In many models, street labels sit on a horizontal plane no matter the direction of the street, and if you need to scroll along the map you have to spin the knob to move east/west, then click it down and spin it again to move north/south. If you get the hang of it, you'll be ready for "Survivor" tryouts." http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/707/top-10-scariest-- new-car-features/;_ylc=X3oDMTFkN3JzOGE1BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwLXRvZGF5BHNsawNzY- 2FyaWVzdC1mZWF0dXJlcw-- If I ever decide navigation is necessary, I'll get a Garmin.
