Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 02, 2005 12:07 pm) What coils are those? Are those the ignition coils or suspension? What's on your clock? Pardon my ignorance. I also have one like yours and want to be prepared. My e46 is approaching 20K ; just read you switched to Kumhos. What's your overall experience? Do they perform? I just got sprayed by a very rude dump truck with pebbles and mud with some chemical that scraped portions of the hood, spoiler, and windshield.  How do you manage to avoid that damage? For a second I thought of abandoning and jumping toward an e90, but my depreciation hit is too high. I'll get it repaired and hope to keep it for years to come.  ">

Any Canadians with some bargaining experience---what price deals did you get for the e90??(I will be pleasantly surprised if I get an answer). f I can get 4% off MSRP for a 325xit I will be happy (Canadian invoice prices are not known--we are not as transparent as you fellows down south). I will wait for the 325xit in November/December(wanted a 330xit, but reality bites me with only one choice). I read the official BMW figure for the 325xit will be 0-60 in 7.2. Not great but not bad for a AWD wagon, especially with the BMW tradition of lowballing their performance stats. |

Ignition Coils? Didn't you get rid of your Jetta for your 330i ZHP? LOL! Just busting chops! Thanks for the great write up on your E90 test drive.

Replying to: alibajalajaula (May 02, 2005 4:40 pm) Ignition. What's on your clock? Pardon my ignorance. I also have one like yours and want to be prepared. 26k miles. Of course according to the bmw guys only a select group of 330is were made with the bad coils. Yeah, heard that from vw on my jetta 1.8t too. My e46 is approaching 20K ; just read you switched to Kumhos. What's your overall experience? Do they perform? Decent. Not as good as my original potenza REs. Not as bad as my S-O3s. . I just got sprayed by a very rude dump truck with pebbles and mud with some chemical that scraped portions of the hood, spoiler, and windshield. Luck? No idea. Some toad scraped my windshield with something one day. Can't get the scratches gone. Shrug. How do you manage to avoid that damage? For a second I thought of abandoning and jumping toward an e90, but my depreciation hit is too high. I'll get it repaired and hope to keep it for years to come. " I honestly don't know what I'll do...keep my e46 (doubtful), get an e90 (not totally sold), get two cars - one for fun, one more serious. I have no idea where I will be in one year. |

Replying to: nyccarguy (May 02, 2005 7:41 pm) BMW kinda has a hard sell after that faux pas. I was on my way to drive the car's replacement and that happens?! Of all things, one of the same problems as the Jetta! Sigh...life is nothing if not amusing. |

| Love it. Haven't heard that one in a while. | |
| Finally got to see and test drive the 2006 325i, it was well worth the long wait. Inside its much more roomier than the 2005 and the trunk could comfortably fit my golf clubs (a deal breaker for a golf nut) even more easily than my 2002 A4. The 31 hp increase was significant and the car had a much better feel to it, not the compact type feel of the 2005 (in my humble opinion). Outside, the front and side looked great, the rear was ok except for the tail lights, not a deal breaker. My only surprise was the colors, they had a Sparkling Graphite, Arctic, and Tit. Silver on the lot. I had a deposit (since Jan.) on a Sparkling Graphite, but in person it was considerably darker, too dark for someone like me who does not enjoy washing their car every week. As a result, I changed my order to Arctic which is more like a like gray in person, but I don't like it as much as the Silver Gray on the 2005, but again not a deal breaker, since I ordered a 325xi I have to wait to late Sept. or Oct. for delivery, but based on my experience yesterday, its worth the wait!!! | |
