yes, a 66,000 535i is leasing out right around the 923.00 mark. Atleast what i was recently quoted.

I know the 335i will be poor lease coming out... but how much will a 60,000 bmw 335i lease out on the high end? Who knows, could be as much as 900 perhaps?

But I will switch back to a 335i 6MT( on order: feb delivery) because of the more dynamic driving experience which the 3 series has.I had 3 E46's and 3 E90 before this F10. The weight is killing the F10 imo. It's not a BMW like I used to 'feel'a BMW.

Now that's a true BMW guy, not one them guys who move from brand to brand based on what's cool at the time.

I know that BMW feel you're talkin about. I still remember how my E46 325i drove and how much I liked the interior's styling.
When BMW says it's not just about numbers, I know what they mean.

Are there even 2011 m3 sedans with stick shift still forsale. production ended on the 11 in October to move over to the f30.

The other question on the minds of many is the question of whether or not the new 335i's interior is as luxurious as the 5 series. Maybe some of the weight of the 5 series has to do with heavier materials that make the interior nicer? Just a thought...

Good debate on this issue.

A friend with a new F10 was over last night. We talked about this very thing. As he accurately pointed out, today's 5 is as big as yesterdays 7, and today's 3 as big as yesterday's 5, which is why we now have a 1 series. Generally speaking, models have gotten bigger. When I first saw his new 5 I thought, "Whoa, that thing's big". He told me he ran into someone else who had the exact same reaction I did. He then told me if he could turn back the clock, he'd order today's F30 335 over his F10 535.

At least for him, and me, the 5's now too big, and the 3's now big enough.

Width/height/wheelbase more or less the same , but the F30 is about 15 cms (5.9 inches) shorter than the E39. And that's fine with me.

The potential high-cost lease concern is weighing on me as well. My configuration is around the $54K mark and I do 15K miles per year. If the lease cost exceeds a pretty high $800 (for no cap reduction terms), despite me being a five-time BMW devotee, I may have to pass. BMW should not price themselves out of the market by decreasing residuals unreasonably or setting high-rate money factors during these times of low interest rates. After all, many folks these days are not seeing raises to increase their incomes. They could pick on the 335i lessors (hopefully not), assuming that "well, they MUST have money to spend if they are not going for the 328, let's get all we can get for awhile...". I will not greatly overpay for the "privilege" of having a newly designed (albeit excellent) car. I'll go pay cash for a Fiat Abarth first! However I would love to have this new BMW if terms are reasonable.

what specs are you inhcluding. When I add up the cost of my options from the cost sheet i am higher than 54... Maybe you are not getting the cold weather pack with heated wheel, front and rear heated seats... ect...

This new 335i adds up to about 58 when its optioned out ...

Does anyone know if the area below the climate controls setting opens? It would be odd for bmw to just mold the plastic liek that and not have it open...

tried attaching pic but it would not come out...
