Bought myself a 35is today, I have to say I’m absolutely loving it, 1st time I’ve actually driven one!
so easy to drive and plenty of power on tap, space grey with red leather, my perfect combination
Not sure how to post photos but hoping it should be below

Not planning anything major, may do the led angel eyes and facelift side indicators
 
1 At the last count, there were only 435 of the 35iS in the UK.
2 If it's on runflats, dump them or you'll never know how good the car is. Replace with the best you can afford.
3 Run it on 36psi front, 44psi rear: to avoid the little yellow light, to maximise the chassis and for better tyre economy.
4 Use regular Unleaded, but not below 95RON. Above is a waste of money.
5 Learn how to use the DCT with your foot, paddles, rocker switch and stick in & between its various modes. The DCT is more complex than it first seems.
6 Make the car 'sing' at least once a week, using 'Sport +' to keep it well over 4k revs in as many gears as the road will allow.
7 Take the 'Z4' off the boot. Hairdryer & WD40.
8 The best colour combination is Melbourne Red & Ivory White (with extended leather & lacquered wood), but yours is very good, anyway.
9 Put it on a BMW warranty. You'll need it.
 
Nice buy 8) space grey & coral is probably the best combo for a 35is :oops: :whistle:
You might also want to study the MHD android flash available for these cars :evil:

Looks to be a very nice car. Welcome to the Forum. I have had mine for nearly a year now and it still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. :thumbsup:
 
Had a little run out in today, about 150 miles, I must say I’m even more impressed now I’m begging to get used to it, had the top down for most of the day as well, I had a little play with the sport and sport+ button and was amazed how the ride stiffened up and the increase in throttle response was exhilarating plus the raspiness of the exhaust, couldn’t get too Carr away though as I had my wife in with me and she’s definitely not an adrenaline junky :poke: , hopefully if the weather stays fine over the next few days I’ll be able to nip out after work and try using the manual gear change and paddle shift :driving: :D
