New to me 335is with 4,444 miles

anthemavm · 03-09-2022, 08:26 PM

So excited to have found my unicorn and have it tucked into my garage. It is a 2012 335is convertible still wearing its original tires.

Excited to clean it up and keep it just the way it left the factory and share with the bmw community. It sits next to my 2002 330 Ci with just under 18k miles.

Looking for to learning from this group.

So, hate to say it, but you should absolutely replace tires that old. It’s dangerous.

Now that I’m off my soap box, the car looks friggin amazing. Stoked for you!

I’ve got an e46 in the garage, too. :-) lovely cars.

Would love to see more shots of that minty 46, too. You on e46fanatics?

I am currently looking for a second set of 313 that I will put new tires on. Someday I hope to show this car and having original tires would be cool.

What a find with that mileage! Almost bought the same color combo, but it was a 2007 had 100k and I was wary of a few things starting to go wrong. Beautiful car though. A real looker. Congratulations!

Sheeeeeeeeesh 335is gang

Wow! A 10 year old brand new car, what a find. Congratulations!

e90yyc · 03-10-2022, 01:45 PM

Congrats man! What a find!

Please tell me it’s a DCT so I can be slightly less jealous…

Love that DCT

Same here. As someone who tried both (first IS was a manual) I got to admit I enjoy the DCT more. You still have that fun feeling of choosing your gears in manual mode (albeit no rowing) and when I want I can chill in traffic to. Like it's the fact of having best of both worlds and also to me, the noise it does when it upshifts vs a manual sounds so fucking good and much better.

Nice! And I thought I was lucky to find my '12 M3 6-speed vert with 13k miles...

StuKatz · 03-11-2022, 10:07 AM

Stunning!

anthemavm · 03-11-2022, 10:10 AM

Thanks very much, it goes in for a two stage paint correction and ceramic coating next week.

This. Also, with that few miles on it...none of the "common" things that break or go wrong have yet.....so you are probably in for some injector issues, LPHP/HPFP issues, water pump, thermostat, etc.....not to mention all the hold hoses, belts, and other stuff that probably needs to be replaced. That thing didn't get driven much.....which is good, but also bad.

Have fun with it? Nice car!

This is always in the back of my mind. I have a 18k miles 2002 330Ci and assumed when I took it to the shop it was going to be a hefty bill. The only thing was an oil change, shocked.
