2014 BMW335i was one sweet ride. Best handling car I've ever driven, well besides the Lamborghini. The steering wheel responds to the slightest movement. You move that steering wheel, you'd better be wanting to turn the car that way. Very responsive to the drivers movements.

The turbo activation was on the floor and on the steering wheel.

Very quiet on the highway, The ride was very smooth. Took the bumps very well. The interior was full of leather. Didn't care for the wood trim but overall top notch.

The only problem I had was with the drivers seat. It has those seats that come out on sides that are suppose to secure you better in the seat. But, probably because of my big ass, their was more weight on the sides than the actual seat back. Just felt weird. Maybe its just those new seats and it just takes getting use to?

My friend told me the exact amount the dealership paid for the car at auction. It was a one owner lease. Has a total mechanical coverage through 2016. Transmission, engine and electrical through 100K miles.

They would make $3K on the deal. Only give me $4K on my Mustang.

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet ride (I've always thought wood trim in cars looked odd). I'm so used to wind noise in my car, it'll be a huge upgrade. I'm curious about the sport seats on longer road trips... I thought they were more comfortable than they look (for a twig), but only for ~15 minutes at a time. Carmax is a good second option for a trade in... I think you can walk in and get a 30 minute appraisal and offer that's good for a week.

It was very noticeable. Very quiet ride.

Why is this still a thing in 2015? I don't get it.

Thats what caused me a little concern. They were fine on the trial ride. But what about the 35 minute drive back and forth each day?
