Huh, I was just thinking today how nice it is to have an E92 335i because it doesn't attract attention and can get around pretty unnoticed. I get the occasional looks but for the most part I was digging the fact that Unlike the RX-8 it just doesn't attract much attention, which is nice.

Funny. Where I am at, the attention is too much, so much I am paranoid someone is going to key the car, or steal my roundel valve stem covers.

Right now I am the only e92 335 in a city of about 65,000 people, county of 250,000.

After reading this thread, I guess I should be preparing the MANY steamy letters to Penthouse I'll have to write after I finally get my car!

Questions/comments like "So would you rather have that or an M45?"......."Hey is that the twin turbo?!!"......."Damn man that’s a nice BMW!".........but by far the most asked question is "So how do you like that new 335?!" or "How’s that twin turbo?"

I had level 2 traffic school today and I'll have it again tomorrow. The class started out like any other; a bunch of random people saying nothing to each other and wanting to get the hell outa there. But during the break I'd go to my car to sit and talk or whatever, and next thing you know when I go back into class I have old men and young guys asking me how I like it. There was an older guy sitting behind me that was like I have an E60 M5 and Im just lovin those new 335's, how you like it? I always reply with "I love it man!"

I also saw two other guys say to each other oh that’s the guy with that...yea I hear those things are pretty rad. Even on my way to the dealer after class to pick something up, a guy in an integra was like "Hey man!! is that the twin turbo'd one!!?" I was like yea man, he was like its siiickkk.

I've only had 3 encounters with girls that I don’t know on the road acknowledging the car. The first night I got the car these 2 girls in a corolla (driver was gorgeous....passenger was, eh do-able I guess haha) were revving and smiling. Another time at a light two other girls in a GTO were like heyy thats the new 335?? Its sooo nice...I was like thnx you girls are too....and your car haha. The last encounter was with a mom and her daughter (ohhh my I love those OC moms.....) in an escalade were like heyyyy how you liking that thing? I was like I love it its soo much fun, they were like cool great choice.

There are douche bags out there too though. One time when I was driving spiritedly this truck full of douche's were like YEAA MAN YEA BMW!!! YOUR FUCKING COOL HUH....VROOM VROOM. Whatever, they're just haters. And every girl that gets into the car looks around and says wow this is soo nice...

So not only do us BMW drivers get personal satisfaction with our cars, seems like others love them too, especially the E92 335i..........just wait till the new M3 finally hits, too bad I wont be getting one anytime soon
My favorite is when guys try to look at your car but then pretend not to be looking, when you catch them. So I got a personalized license plate after about 4 months. It is:

ICULKN

Its pretty classic.

I have it on my Chevy SS but Itll go on the Bimmer as well:-) here is a pic of my SS, you would look over too right hehe

That's what happens when you get all excited that your car is finally shipping. Allow me to correct.

Either Im not noticing ppl's reactions or faces, but I don't get that many looks at all.. I notice some ppl behind me or around me when im at a light and check the car out and see if i was goin to gun it..

i guess i should've gotten the E92 and not the E90 for my car to turn heads.. I had a coupe all my life and i didnt find it practical so i got the E90 and im loving every door that it came with!

Instead of posting this long and self-indulgent message, you should go home and thank your mommy and your daddy for buying you your attention getting toy.

And worry not man, Im sure if you pout enough, they'll get you that M3 when it comes out. Id be happy to put in a good word for ya if you think it will help!

Not getting the same attention in your 325 huh? Fear not, he will be a professional driver after he comes out of several years of traffic school.

yea i love my sedan and my friends proly appreciate the 4 doors too. I never really liked the back end of the e92 as well, just seemed a bit boring but I think it's beginning to grow on me. either way I still wouldn't have bought the coupe considering I enjoy the looks of the e90 more and it's more convenient.
