Careful driving it home when you pick it up. Some stuff blew through here last night that is headed your way as snow, supposed to be more today and into next week. Maybe be a nicer trip if you can wait until the end of the week, from the looks of it. It is getting difficult to find sedans with manual transmissions.

Won't be able to pick up until next weekend. To busy during the week. I think we'll see some snow through the middle of June. The weather was like that The last big snow year.

The dealership also, had some deals on 2016 BMW's, like a nice 340 which replaced the 335.

It's meteoric gray with white oyster leather interior. The dealerships online description had a generic white picture with synthetic seats. However, after looking a it 2 weeks ago, I ran the vin and the little Bimmer was premium luxury package with M-sport suspension. It only had 52000 miles. Almost couldn't believe the generic Bimmer was loaded so, I had the salesman look up the vin after I looked at the car a second time to verify the options not listed by the dealership.

I looked for a 335D for a while before getting a Lexus hybrid. Just couldn't find one with decent miles within 3 states.

I was looking for 8 months. There was a deal in LA but, I passed on that one and every thing else was in Sacramento or the Bay Area. A lot were at small lots where the history was sketchy. Found this car locally, pre owned and certified.

Is on my list of replacements for the TDI. Don't like that it is a sedan and can't have a stick ...

I rode in a coworkers frequently, long distance trips in it. Solid and FAST!

Did you get a settlement from VW? The 335d is a replacement for my Prius that was totaled last spring. Totally different cars.

I seen one online at Stevens Creek BMW in the Bay area before buying from Bill Pearce in Reno. The BMW dealerships are very thorough and make sure everything is working when selling pre owned certified

I will get a settlement. But I will drive the car until the end of 2018 and then return it.

My main issue is that I hunt out of my car, with at least one dog in a kennel. I don't know how to do that out of a sedan.
