I sat in a 2006 325i today. Thought it was terrific. Not a big difference inside in terms of space, but it felt a bit roomier. But we couldn't find the radio feature that can be set to increase the volume automatically as the speed of the car increases. Did this feature disappear with the 2006 version does any one know? Thanks, Rusty

I notice a radar option that beeps as you back close to an object behind and beeps continuously when the back bumper comes within 12 inches. Is this something new this year? Anybody have any experience with it? Does it work? Might save some scratches on the back bumper and the kids' bicycles (or the kids). |

I test drove the SG 330i today, no navi, auto, black interior with burl, non sport. It was very cloudy in Cincy today with light rain, and the SG looked pretty good. Not much of the rumored purple tint. I'll venture back when the sun is out. I also saw a black 325 nonsport on the showroom floor and the wheels make a HUGE difference in the look. The std. 325 wheels and tires look terrible. That said, the std. 330i looked very sharp, and much bigger than I anticipated. The SG was sitting near a black E46 and looked much larger. They also had a TiSilver, stick, poplar, black interior, no navi, sport. It looked absolutely gorgeous. Almost took my breath to be honest with you. I didn't drive that one, but it looked awesome. The Tisilver was sitting facing out right next to a black 530i, and amazingly, the width of the cars was VERY similar. The length of the 530i was obviously longer and the rear larger, but the width of the cars was very similar. Amazing. Anyway, the logic 7 was a huge improvement over past bimmer stereos. I think it is a must. The driving mechanics were also awesome, although the roads were wet and I couldn't/didn't want to push it much. Cockpit seemed a little smaller than I anticipated, but the back seat room was a bit larger than the e46. Trunk was bigger than the e46 but not as large as it looks from the outside. In all, a great experience. However, I would NOT get less than 17 inch wheels on this car. The small wheels make the car look terrible. But, take heart, with the sport wheels, the car looks AWESOME.

Replying to: bmwccc (Apr 29, 2005 3:04 pm) Told the dealer today I wanted $1500 off,he came back at $700 off, but Gen Manager said maybe $200-300 further, but no more, for total of 800-1000 off MSRP. I am eliciting "internet bids" from not-so-close dealers, havent yet heard from them(seems like they always want to deal when I'm not interested, now they're too busy).I think $1000 is a pretty good discount, so I just might go back tomorrow. |

Replying to: bartalk3 (Apr 29, 2005 6:13 pm) No need to be so edgy. I'm not requesting that BMW ADD this feature. They included it long ago. Not unlike automatic windshield wipers (I live in Portland--it rains a lot here), it's nice feature. I guess I don't need power steering either. I could sing to myself instead of being so lazy as to need a radio at all. I simply asked if anyone knows if it's a continued standard feature of the stock radio. Others? Rusty
