Haven't even had a chance to really take pics of her yet, but here it is upon delivery yesterday evening:



And the listing photo:



Initial reactions:

- Holy sh1t this is nice. The build quality 'feel's ridiculously solid. The steering wheel feel (M Sport Package) is simply amazing.

- Uhh, got power? I thought my bone stock '06 G35 had plenty of zip. This, with the M PPK installed, is down right ridiculous. Don't ever tell my wife, but I probably would've been fine with the 328i (and a ~$8k smaller hole in my pocket).

- The Tech Package is awesome, and I'm glad it was in my 'required' list. I am a bit surprised that basic backup sensors aren't standard (ie no video, just audio alert).

- I absolutely love the 19" 403M wheels. The listing detailed a little curb rash on all 4 of them. It was a pleasant surprise at delivery to learn that Beepi went ahead and had all 4 wheels refinished.

- The gripes about lack of storage compartments is well founded. Guess it just means I carry less crap with me.

I'm really looking forward to getting to know all the tricks and features of this car, and am absolutely blown away thus far!

Congrats and welcome to the club! Your car looks super clean and in pristine condition.

Do you have any mods planned? In terms of appearance mods, depending on your taste, you may want to consider the black kidney grilles, rear deck lid spoiler, m-performance rear diffuser and the stainless steel pedals - to name a few. None of these are terribly expensive and some decent replicas can even be found on E-bay.

Welcome the club! I would've been "okay" with a 328 as well, but I'd rather be GREAT with my six-cylinders.

Congrats!

Looks great, congrats!

Congrats! These rims are my favorite rims for the M Sport simply because it reminds me of the E92 M3

[AudiA4]

I love Alpine White! I too just got my (new to me) 2014 335i M Sport, 6MT Estoril Blue within the past week. EB was my second choice but the car had everything I was looking for...DHP, Tech, m Brakes, M Exhaust, etc.

What year model is yours? Is it a manual or automatic?

[sr5959]

Congrats OP! Those wheels do look really good on the F30. I am in the area so I'll keep an eye out for your car!

'13 w/Tech, Premium, M Sport, and Sport Auto.

I do like all the aftermarket stuff, splitter, diffuser, and grills specifically. The lip is OK, just seems pretty spendy for what it adds.

I have things on my wish list, which if family gets for Bday/Xmas/whatever, then cool. Otherwise just going to enjoy her as is for a while.

[CalCarNut]

Love those wheels. Great looking ride. Congrats!

Nice and a good looking bow to booth

[DrivenByE30]

Nice... Very nice even.

Congrats to you and enjoy!

Awesome combo!

Nice! Let us know what you thought about the Beepi process. How far away was the car? Did you see it in person before you bought?

I did not see it in person till it was in front of my house on the flatbed. I'm in Washington state, about 20 minutes outside of Seattle. Car was in San Fran.

The Beepi experience wasn't bad, and evaluating that alone, I'd say it was mediocre. I paid the $500 deposit on Tuesday the 4th and the car was delivered the evening of Thursday the 13th. During that time, communication was semi-regular, though I didn't really know what was actually happening.

On Monday the 10th, I hadn't yet received a delivery estimate, and my bank hadn't even heard from Beepi yet (which they needed to in order to cut a check). So I got a little frustrated and said so via email. After that point, everything fell in to place with them getting the bank the necessary documents and my getting a delivery window.

The delivery was very smooth, and they showed up roughly 30 minutes in to the 3 hour time window given. The driver was very nice, and quite knowledgeable on the car. Spent a good 45-60 minutes with me, going over features, etc, before having me sign the paperwork.

The car definitely made it all worth it I'd say.

Overall, I think the experience with Beepi can only get better. They seem a bit overwhelmed, but that should subside as their processes are refined and the staff expands.

The deal itself was $1k less than another '13 335i available locally. It had same packages, no PPK, and Performance Brake Kit. It had double the miles at 18k, and the CarFax showed a clean title but minor accident involving the front hood and bumper.

If I was looking again, and found that Beepi had exactly what I wanted, I would most likely buy from them again.

Nice car congrat.

I also came from an '06 G35 (coupe). The f30 335i surpasses it in every way (except the stock exhaust note...the VQ's stock exhaust still sounds amazing).

[auf Deutsch]

Hell of a performance upgrade from the G35, even G37 S. Welcome to the possible-with good launch-in ideal weather 12 second club.

I actually sold my Mazda 6 (still have it) through Beepi.
Went to the dealer I service the car with and they offered me $15k for it (total ripoff). Took it to Carmax, they offered 15.5.
Put it on Craigslist, eBay, Autotrader and Cars.com and Beepi contacted me.
Next day, a tech came to my work and spent 3 (three) hours inspecting the car, every single thing. FYI, no aftermarket part is acceptable - I have aftermarket Xenons (Morimoto) installed and have to take them out and put the original stuff back before they pick it up.
The next day, the offer came at $16.5 because my tires are at 3/32; if I replace the tires, they will bump it up to $17.5k. We made a deal at $17k as-is, they take care of tires, I will take care of the Xenons.
Best part, if they do not sell it by August 30, they will come and pick it up then and I am all set. In the mean time, I can drive it as much as I want and unlimited mileage, same offer stands. If I find someone who will buy it for $17.5 or $18k, I can take it and let them know immediately and done deal...
Definitely a great experience with Beepi!

At one point, my Sedan had the coupe mid, and Megan Y and cat back. Sounded pretty sweet.

But you're right about the 335i beating it in every way.

Nice!

I've read about Beepi--we don't have it here on the East Coast. How was the purchase experience?

[maa335iF30]

Congrats!!!! Enjoy it in good health!!!

.....the fact that they slapped a front license Frame on it makes me cringe!!!!

Previous owner had it on there unfortunately, so what's done is done. Have to have a front plate in WA anyway. Pulling it and having the holes filled/sprayed is prob more effort and cost than its worth at this point
