Congrats on getting the car.

The biggest thing for me to get used to so far is the turning radius. Feels like a lot more effort to make the same turn in this car than in my 2014.

I drove my 2012 today (the 2015 is at the dealer for a rattle) and I was baffled by the clutch. It has half the travel and feels like stepping on one of those red rubber balls they had in gym class.

CONGRATULATIONS! From a fellow Guard PP owner. The color has to be the most complimented thing about this car.

Any of that have to do with the selectable steering modes? Not sure if you two are referring to actual "effort" or distance.

I keep going back and forth between comfort and sport. Some days I like the steering tight, some days I like it loose. :cheers:

I cam from a GMC Terrain so the Mustang feels pretty good to me. It's been two years since I had my 2011 GT so that sensation is long gone...

Congrats man. I'm very interested in your thoughts about the S550 compared with your E92 335i, as I own one as well. I agree with you that the car does feel big. Maybe a little too big, but I suppose it's just something to get used to. Also, how does the build quality feel? Any panel alignment issues?

Just curious, did you have any mods on the 335i? Looking forward to the pulls.

Congrats!

Congrats Oppo! we have been following each other's progress for some time now, since we are going in opposite directions - you are coming from BMW to the Mustang, and I am going to BMW for the first time. I am super interested to read your review in a week's time.

I test drove both the S550 manual GT and the 2 series Bimmer, back to back, and came away impressed by both. I decided to jump ship after owning a Mustang GT for the past 22 years mainly because I just wanted to try something different. It was a tough choice and now that I'm waiting for the BMW to be built, I am having occasional second thoughts because I know I would love the 2015 GT, especially in Triple Yellow.

If I had to pick out any deciding factors that made me lean towards the M235i, they would be the size of the S550 and its tame exhaust note. It did feel bigger than my S197, even though they're virtually the same size. And the BMW exhaust note isn't perfect either - I ended up adding the $1300 performance exhaust option to my order, so that didn't make much sense since upgrading the Ford exhaust would have been much cheaper...

Anyway, congrats again on your new ride and hopefully we'll both be happy down the road!

Great looking ride! Hope you continue to enjoy the ownership experience and that the things you're unsure about will soon be dismissed.

I enjoyed the rapid-fire impressions. They're succinct bullet points. Brevity is good! :cheers:

race em! I recently sold my 335i and have a GT on order. The new f30 BMW's are too watered down for me, the steering / handling felt overly soft. The New GT handles a lot like my 07 335 did, with a little more speed to boot.

Beautiful car! Enjoy!

My 2014 had the selectable steering modes. I'm talking about both the effort and turning radius. The 2015 feels like I'm trying to corner in a truck when doing u-turns and such. thank goodness the right pedal helps to swing it around the corner faster

Yeah I made a big mistake going from an E90 335i to an F30....:frusty: Too soft.

Anyways no more BMW for me now I'm strictly :ford:

Picked her up yesterday around 5pm. I'm still in shock that it's finally here.

Congratulations, OppoLock! She looks sharp! :clap2:
