Agreed on the red interior. It's a very smart look.

So long BMW.

'09 335i Coupe. Almost went with a 435, but felt like I got more options with the Lexus.

Well with BMWs you have to pay for every single thing. It's the options that build up and make things so expensive. They nickle, dime, quarter, and loonie (cause I'm Canadian) you.
Good choice.
The new 4 series is nice but of course with its Lexus equivalent you get good bang for your buck among other great things.

I agree! Still getting used to the track pad thing though... Thanks for all the love. Anyone done any mods to theirs yet? I'm thinking vinyl wrap my chrome, tint and an intake.

I think he was going to vinyl wrap the chrome, not wrap the car in chrome vinyl.
What color vinyl are you going to go with?

Sucks to hear that.
The brave souls are those that keep german cars beyond the original warranty term, something i always believed in doing.

I think that if the German car never gave you any issues, and you did all the services then holding on to it after the warranty would be OK. I did all the services, but it kept breaking down all the time. I went through 4 radiators, thank God under warranty before one finally fixed the issue.
I liked my BMW, but the last straw was when I just had $1,300 in repairs that I couldn't do myself at the time due to surgery, and then the very next day the driver's window falls out of the track. Luckily the repair place was able to just bend the arms in for $125 as replacing the motor would have been $400.

I'm of the same belief too, usually it's how you take care of a car and drive it that determines a lot of how it will do in the long run, buying it second hand you just never know.
But of course the safe way out by default is end of warranty.... get rid of it.

Before I bought the Lexus I was thinking about a MB. I asked a couple of friends who owned one and they all had the same thing to say. It was the best car for 4 years, when it was in warranty, but the worst car after that. Glad I bought my Lexus instead.

Lol, well.... Chrome vinyl all around with black vinyl on the grill... it was really ugly, so I traded it back in for a BMW.

I actually rode mine to 90k before I started to notice problems. If not for the crazy price tag of the 435 built similar to the Fsport I bought, I would have probably ended up with the same Space Gray 435, similar to the 335 Coupe and the 325 that I had before. After a week of owning it and tinting my windows, I am so glad I made the switch. It actually feels like a completely different driving experience.
I actually had an M5 try to race me today, which I never had happen in my 335.
