Replying to: novice (Apr 29, 2005 7:58 pm) In the unnecessary category I would include keyless entry (how hard is it to push a remote), rain-sensing wipers (that usually don't go on when you want them to; I want to decide when my windshield is wet enough to need wipers--wipers can scratch the glass if it's not wet enough), intelligent cruise control or whatever it's called (that can possibly be very annoying as your car constantly drops back as drivers cut into your lane, etc. I guess I basically like hands-on manual control of my own car. We're still smarter than (most) machines. Of course years ago I might have included power windows in the frivolous category. But yesterday's luxury is today's necessity. Anyway, I hope someone is able to answer your legit. question.

Replying to: bartalk3 (Apr 29, 2005 8:37 pm) As for rain-sensing wipers. Had they not come with my 328i, I would never have wanted them. I got a taste of how well they worked by actually driving a car without them after having had my 328i for several months. One day, I happened to be driving Mrs. Shipo's car in wet conditions with spots of rain here and there and realized that I was changing the setting of the intermittant wipers every minute or two, and that that was very annoying. Now, if intermittant wipers are an option, I'll buy em. Period, full stop, the end. Best Regards, Shipo |

Wow, Test drove it today, very nice. I was on the freeway doing 97 mph and the rpm was still below 3000. Amazing what 6th gear does, enough torque for me to pass other, until the dealer guy said that the ticket would be on me. Had to take it down, but it sure does want to go. Taking the wife there tomorrow and see if she likes it. She wants an X5, sure hope she changes her mind. I really liked the layout of the radio compared to my current 01 325i. But the 215 horse power was great! 1000 of msrp would be great, but i am hoping 1500 off, but i really doubt I will get it; but worth a shot, have to start somewhere. Anyone else know of any discount on the west coast, drop a line here.... |

Replying to: shipo (Apr 29, 2005 8:56 pm) Seems most responders like the feature--as do I. But do you know if it's been continued in the E90? I was in the car with the sales rep and he was showing me how the radio functions--but he couldn't locate that auto volume increase mode. I can find out in Decemeber when I get the car and the new owners manual--but was just curious about it. Thanks, Rusty

Replying to: sedmund (Apr 30, 2005 5:10 am) In the six plus years since my first BMW came with the rain sensing wipers, I found that I needed to operate the system manually because the rain was too heavy or too light maybe a total of once or twice per year. Other than that, I simply turned on the rain-sensor and let it have its way. Best Regards Shipo |

Replying to: chatkat (Apr 29, 2005 10:54 pm) 1) Where in the country do you live that you're getting these terrific discounts? 2) Would you care to negotiate a car purchase for me? Who says women pay more for cars?
