What have I done? I had an optometrist appointment this morning, and they dilated my eyes. Been wearing those goofy dark sunglasses. So, it was the height of irresponsibility to stop by the BMW dealer to talk about another 3 series lease. I priced out a build-your-own 335i to my spec.

They had a nice car on the floor with close to my desired options, so I pulled the trigger. This is our 6th 3-series from this dealer, and he gave us $6000 off MSRP list for the loaded 335i if we'd take the on-the-floor model. Payments were reasonable as was the lease factor. (huge bonus is the residual is calculated off the MSRP, so any discount from this is magnified when you lease). Took delivery earlier today.

But wait, It's all black! What was I thinking! I swore I'd never buy a black car. Must have been my dilated eyes. It looked grey in the showroom, I swear

Just kidding, of course. I don't mind leasing an all-black car here in the Southwest. Takes a bit of the pressure off not trying to keep the paint showroom-new for many years. Enjoy it for 3 years, and take it back.

M-sport w/ M-sport brakes and exhaust, all the other good options (tech package, premium, driver assistance, cold weather). Damn, those M-spec brakes are huge under those wheels.

Love these 3-series. The 335i scoots along, but honestly, our 328d wagon isn't that far off in terms of off the line acceleration. The diesel 328s are amazing cars. Forget the paper specs, they're plenty peppy. Of course, the wagon is for the Mrs. and I'll daily-drive the 335.

Lol, just this week I went to the optician too and was wearing those funky glasses. I could not read anything including my iphone for like 2 hours.

Congrats on the new car
