Yesterday my friend and i were lucky enough to be able see and ride in the 1st(as far as i know) 335i coupes in the country. Since the 335i is "indent order only" basis here it's very hard to get one, my friend and checked out this import car dealer and were told that if we were willing to wait 2 335s were arriving straight from the pier. It turned out that we had to wait for a couple of hrs but it was all worth it. Apparently the units were sourced from the States, one was titanium silver and the other jet black. The one we rode in(silver) had the gray leather interior, poplar wood trim, active steering, power seats, type 189 wheels and HIDs as the main options. We agreed that the design was a big improvement over the sedan and the the interior quality seems better than the 5 series sold locally. When we took it out to have the a test drive with the owner of the dealership driving the acceleration was immense and the power delivery very linear. Virtually no turbo lag and the engine was already pulling hard at 1500rpm. The 6 speed sportauto with paddles was very responsive but the operation was a bit tricky since it didnt have the SMGs configuration for the paddles but boy we were the quickest out there. One thing that we also noticed was the ride was very good for 18s and runflats(our roads are worst than the UK!). The owner/seller said that he preferred the active steering over the standard setup, since he is said to have owned an E46 M3 and E39 M5 before i think he knows what he is saying. The biggest downside to it? We didnt have the money to take it home hehe bec the asking price was a hefty Php4.8M(US97000!)

thank you

you are right, a 335i is more comfortable than people seem to understand. You dont say no to this car becuase you think its to uncomfortable.
