Yes. This will be my third one from them. They give me fairly decent deal without too much hassle.
Where are you buying yours from?

Fog lights

Well, I find that the "unnecessary peace(sic) of garbage" you refer to helps night time visibility in heavy rain and mist quite considerably. The bluish white of the HIDs is not optimal for cutting through mist and spray, and the warmer light thrown just ahead and to the side of the car by the fogs helps. At least that's my experience with my E90, which I drive frequently on a congested, poorly drained and unlit urban freeway.

And, whatever the potential demerits of the offending lights, a capacity for stupidity falls beyond their function.

I'm not certain. Depends entirely on what the sales manager @ BMW of Permian Basin is willing to do. If he can't make me a deal close to BMW of Austin, or Atlanta South I'll be taking a road trip to one of them.

I'm a bit torn, as I have a friend in Atlanta who does clear bras, and would like for him to do our new 335i, but that's a very long drive for me, and would require I take off a few days from work...and it looks like Austin will get within 500.00 of Atlanta's price... I'm hoping the local guys will make me a deal in line w/ what I can get elsewhere, but I'm not too optimistic that they can (due to lack of volume if nothing else).

Does anyone know if the M Sport Suspension will be lowered? May be pretty ugly if it wasn't

I guess if you guys have to pay such a high premium on these cars the least they can do is throw in suspension package.

I thought that M Sport suspension is lower by 10mm as standard (with the M sport package of course), but that is not the same as M performance suspension which is a option. Can anyone verify?

I think the M sport suspension is the same as the sport line if I'm not mistaken.

Never been so exited about a car like this before and I plan on doing ED in september and I wanted a loaded 328i M sport but now I think I am leaning toward a 335 M sport estoril blue with sport auto and heated seats only lol.

It's not. Separate option for M-sport suspension but it's only available if you have a sport line.

Well you are kind of right. I guess they should offer it at least as an option. I live in SOCAL now and well... it barely rains here, so I am glad I don't have to drive around with them.
But even in Germany were we have more rain than sunshine I use them maybe twice a year.
