I swear I'm the only one. I've had the car for three months and the only other F30 I've seen not at the dealer was my dad's and he's from out of state.

Keep an eye out for me Mineral Gray sport line in the Cambridge / Somerville area.

It's amazing. The first few weeks were weird not being in my coupe, but it's quickly become mine. The complaints about steering fade away after a month of driving and the car just fits like a glove. I'm kind of afraid to get an E90 as a loaner and start thinking its too heavy :-).

I can't stop smiling whenever I see my car.

Hay all.

Just saw a Red 328i at Shoppers World in Natick.

Did you get VSS or standard steering?

Hello my fellow New Englanders...I placed an order for 2013 335i scheduled for production week 30. I can't wait. The only F30 I have seen outside of the dealer lot was in Newton. It was a alpine white 328i w/ what appeared to be luxury package.

I have an f30 335i sport line and live in the cape. Had it for a month and a half. It has oem 20" 6 series wheels. I STILL haven't seen another one. Bizarre.

Standard. It's great most of the time. I wish though that I could combine sport steering with comfort throttle points around town.

Hey guys, I've been breaking my 335i in since May 11th, can't believe its been this long (already at 9k!)... I'm from Nashua NH, travel often to ME and currently I live in Manchester, CT (aka Im all over NE) and I have only seen three or four others on the road, a red 328, a black 328, and a black 335 and maybe one other I haven't thought of.

Speaking of.. if the owner of a black on black 335i sport who works on Marshall Phelps Dr. in Windsor CT is on this site, we need to get together soon and compare the 8spd AT and the stick.... I see this car all the time going to and from my lunch break in front of the a office haha

-> I hope you all can avoid the pot holes! I have a bubble in a tire currently from my last trip from NH to CT this weekend.

Ordered 2012 F30 Xdrive Lux

Live in Cambridge, MA and have only seen two F30's on the road. Did the Olympic Drive at Herb Chambers.

Ordered last week and now in 112 status. Patiently awaiting the start of production.

I took delivery on Aug 29th, EB 328i M Sport, 6MT, adaptive susp/VSS, 18" staggered, nav. My first BMW. It's my new daily driver, so I also got a second set of wheels with snows and TPMS (from TR). So far it seems to be everything I was hoping it would be.
