But I think terra is available on some other models such as 645i already, so you can check it out. I personally think silver/terra is the sportiest combo on E90, especially with aluminum trim. |

Replying to: groberts1 (May 02, 2005 10:09 am) I'm not sure about the $1000 over invoice, but I've seen a number of people around here with invoice-plus deals on ED E90s. I myself am picking up a 330 (ZSP,ZPP,heated seats, metallic) in July at $1500 over ED invoice. I put an offer sheet together by line item and faxed it to 10 dealers within a 100 mile radius. Two of them accepted, and that was enough leverage to bring my local dealer on board. I think you'll see this referred to as the Rizzo Method if you search around. Best of Luck, Terp

Replying to: shipo (Apr 29, 2005 3:06 pm) I was asking about the horsepower and torque curves for the 325i and 330i engines which I believe you described. Thank you for your help. |

Shipo, I just came back from the local dealer, being Tulley BMW. They have a 06 330i, of the 3-pedal variety, with Sport pkg, available for customer test-drives. Overall I was very impressed with the performance. Yes, I wish for shorter throws but that can easily be remedied by using aftermarket products. The sound system is better than the DSP system in my car. Nice ride even considering the run-flats and 18" rims. The sport seats are comfortable but I prefer the ones in my car. I still enjoy driving my 03 530i (3-pedal) with Sport pkg but perhaps in the next 6 months I will be looking to make a change. Regards, Chris “The other Black Sapphire 530i in southern New Hampshire”

If you are in the Bay Area and in market for ED, feel free to email me and I'll give you scoop. (I'm going with my current dealer since I already put the deposit and it's a matter of good faith). |

Darn coils blew. BMW replaced them. The car feels totally different...I'm talking totally different from how it's felt for years. Shrug. Sat in the 06 again. Is it me or is the dash much higher in the e90s? |

I went down to seen the new 3 Series on Saturday. I didn't drive one but I did sit inside. Frankly, I believe there are much more qualified drivers here than I am. What follows is strictly opinion and I'm afraid isn't all that positive in some respects. Upon seeing the outside I thought that if the car had a Mazda or Nissan badge instead of BMW it would just be ignored. If it were a GM product everyone would say that it was one more nail in their coffin. It is just plain nothing special. The lines of the car are almost random. Everyone seems to be straining to make this car attractive and it isn't. After all, Babe Ruth probably struck out a few thousand times and we consider him great in his field That is, no one is perfect including BMW designers. One of the cars was a light blue (Ultramarine Blue?) which I really liked since I like blue and this is a good blue. One was a dark gray (Sparkling Graphite) which was just plain dark gray. It was a sunny day and yet it was nothing special. It thought the dark gray (Silver Gray Metallic) I've seen on the E46 was much better. The SGM is much more alive in the sun where it takes-on a bluish cast from the sky. The third car was black and it looked good, unfortuantly this is partly because it hides the car's lines. There was a red E46 with a Performance Package next to these three cars. It looked the best. I thought the interiors looked great, just the way they should look. They were all one lump instead of two. (no iDrive) They appeared to be very high quality and well designed. The interior is plush and it is simple and straightforward. It says the car is for driving and doesn't fool-around. I only wish the same could be said of the outside.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 02, 2005 12:07 pm) They probably reset your OBC, and it will take as long as two weeks for you to retrain it to your style of driving. Keep us posted. Best Regards, Shipo |
