That's a great looking M2.

No idea why you'd buy a car without PDC now but I'd consider if I had my heart set on one.

Man that is nice. Great color combo and very fair price for the low miles.

I didn't even know you could get those in manual.

Yes, indeed. I almost bought one, back before my knee issues.

Edit: 2013 must be the last year for the E93 convertible.

Also the “is” rim came in both 18 and 19 inch sizes. That one has the way nicer 19’s.

The car was expensive. Bought new, it was a substantial premium over a vanilla 335, but not quite as expensive as an M. Definitely a bit of a sleeper.

Edit: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...s-coupe-review

"the 335is doesn’t go so far as to threaten the M3’s supremacy, but it definitely ups the sportiness quotient. To that end, the 335is gets 320 hp and 332 lb-ft torque from the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine, and an overboost function allows for seven-second blasts of 370 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the regular-grade 2011 335i, the 335is sticks with the older twin-turbo engine for the simple reason that BMW engineers had more experience tuning it. This same engine can also be found in the Z4 sDrive35is that was introduced at this month’s Detroit auto show. In the Z4, the engine makes 335 hp; a more restrictive intake on the 3-series accounts for the 15-hp difference.

To make the 335is a track-worthy vehicle, BMW upgrades the cooling system with an additional radiator and beefs up the engine mounts. Inside are standard sport seats, steel pedals, an M Sport steering wheel, and textured aluminum trim. Between the seats sits the familiar six-speed manual, but it’s modified here to have shorter throws."

To me that seems expensive when a new one is not much more. A the competition model almost available with a lot of changes., i.e actual M engine

What does he mean by car has everything expect executive package when that seems to be the only package? I do not see a sunroof or DCT.

Also because the N55 is *way* less durable. (Yes, more reliable.)

I meant the posted 335is in that comment not the 2017 M2. 😜
