This 2011 BMW 335is Hard-Top Convertible represents the first model year of the car that bridged the gap between the E93 335i and M3. One of the rare BMW models made exclusively for the North American market, the 335is featured the same seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission (DCT) found in the M3 and retained the more tunable N54 engine. A period article in Motor Trend called it “a convincing package that defies the sum of its parts.” This example is offered in Le Mans Blue over Cream Beige Dakota leather, a combination which the seller says, “has drawn a lot of admiration.” This car is reportedly “unmodified” and is said to be “original,” save for repairs completed following an August 2024 minor accident, noted in the CARFAX vehicle history report. Damage reported in July 2024, noted in the CARFAX, was reportedly a quote from a body shop for paint touch up.

DOCUMENTATION
The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean Illinois title in his wife’s name. This 2011 BMW 335is Hard-Top Convertible features the N54 engine, making it more tuner-friendly than contemporary base-model 335s. The 335is was only made for three model years, from 2011-2013. This is one of the first, and it comes with all the equipment that distinguished performance variants from their lower-trim counterparts. The Dark Glacier Aluminum trim, Le Mans Blue paint, black chrome-plated exhaust tips, M Sport package, and, of course, exclusive 335is badging are sure to turn heads among the bimmer cognoscenti.
