Mmmm nice, very very nice, they look great in red.

DCT or manual?

Sorry I forgot to say manual not DCT - I prefer the manual box and espcially when down changing when you can blip the throttle in between gears :thumbsup:

Hope thats not going to get the arguement of manual v auto started again :rofl:
 
Not wanting any arguments and I can see both sides of the issue as having just sold an RS6 I appreciate the auto box but having driven the 35is I much prefer the manual box :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :driving:

For barges and family wagons it's an auto all the way for sure...but for an exciting car it just has to be a manual...it's as simple as that. :D
 
I wanted a 35is until I found I couldn't order it with a manual box.

So a 35i manual M Sport it was and it's excellent. Good choice :thumbsup:

(Even the run flats are OK once you get used to them).

Did you got for the adaptive suspension?
 
I did not.

I ticked the Comfort pack and the M sport pack plus heated everything, top pro speaker pack (I thought the standard offering a little poor) and a few other things I had to pay for that skip my memory now. Oh yes - 326m's.

The overall package works well for me and I don't drive along thinking "wish I'd had the adaptive suspension". But I've not done a back to back comparison and those that have it seem to like it, especially with the rft's.

The rft's give a firm ride and maybe lack some subtlety - but hang on it's a sports car not a limo. I'm 15 months into ownership and am very happy with what I bought and the price I paid. My local Sytner dealer matched the Broadspeed price instead of kicking me out of the door. :o

I think I got good value for money for the things that were important to me. And that's what it's all about. :)

Nice one jasperoony, what % discount is that?l

All depends on how you look at it really as BMW finance are putting in £7,500 towards the car and the dealer is offering 13.7% on the balance. Thing is I intend to pay off the finance within the first couple of days of ownership (they charge £3.50 ish per day during the cooling off period) so if you assume the car costs £48,800 in total it works out to be 27.1% ish after the finance contribution and dealer discount :thumbsup:

My current Z4 23i M Sport has run flats and the M Suspension and to be honest I don't mind it as like you say its a sports car :thumbsup:

The car is spec amendable and I was considering adding the Homelink and Adaptive but I have a spare garage door opener and the current suspension is fine so not sure about adding £660 to the cost :headbang:
 
I love my adaptive, use the different settings all the time.

OP if you can easily add it post-order I would go for it... it will also add to the desirability when you come to shift it on (if you do!)

I missed the thread drama half way through as I've not been on the forums much recently!

Enjoy the car !
 
I love adaptive too - I love the way it stiffens the steering, makes the throttle more responsive, ride firmer and, most importantly, adjusts the fuelling so the 35iS pops and bangs like a good 'un :evil:

Other than the adaptive suspension part they all have this feature allowing the car to go from Comfort to Sport to Sport Plus that does all of the above :thumbsup:
