A Great Compromise

BMW 3 Series 335is 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)

Advancing age caused me to decide to replace 2 existing Bimmers in my ownership with a single car. The one car was a Z4M with 6 sp. manual, the other was a 335i sedan used as a daily driver. I was finding entry and egress from the "M" becoming more difficult, was tiring of shifting gears myself, and frankly was getting apprehensive of driving such a small car on todays' roads full of distracted SUV drivers. Still, I wanted to retain a convertible and something sportier than a 335i sedan. The 335is fills the bill. It slots nicely between the stock 335i and the M3. The "is" sports a 320hp, twin turbo engine mated to 7 speed double clutch automatic. It sits on 19" tires and a sport suspension. They were only sold in N.A. for 3 years between 2011 and 2013 in coupe and folding hardtop models and thus have some exclusivity.

In 2017, I owned 2 Bimmers: a 2007 Z4M and a 2007 335i sedan. Health issues caused me to consider how difficult it would be for my wife to unload these cars, especially the “M”. I decided to look for a compromise car, a drop top with the N54 engine and some extra sporty character, but not another M. What I found was a 2011 335is. This car has 320bhp and bursts of 370ft.lbs of torque coupled to a 7sp. double clutch automatic. The body style is retractable hardtop. Is has all the bells and whistles, including an M option package. These models were made in a 3 year window from 2011-2013 in coupe and convertible options. They are great cars for a Bimmer fan who wants some scarcity and performance at a reasonable cost.
