Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 01, 2005 9:14 pm) For the second time I sat in the E90, but this time it was a really sunny day. I also had my Maui Jim's on and could not see the radio controls. Poor planning on their part. |

| Test drove the E90 325 & 330 San Rafael, CA. yesterday. I did not notice a huge difference in power between the two, especially the torque. There's a difference but not much. The exhaust on the 325 looks awful without the chrome tips and I did not see any option package or option where it would resolve that issue. The standard wheels/tires do not do justice to the wheel wells. The Sport package takes care of that. Other than those two issue the E90 3 series is brilliant. Now to decide, 325 or 330, and leather or leatherette. Such decisions..... | |

I agree with your observation, as I also could not see the radio display with my sunglasses on. Considering I only listen to either music on my iPod or 2-3 AM stations, this wouldn’t be a deal breaker. For the most part, I only use the MID located in the instrument cluster. But it is surprising that it wasn’t addressed during prototyping. Regards, Chris |

Polarized sunglasses aren't rare and certainly among the BMW type driver you'd expect a large group would have such sunglasses. Shrug, weird oversight.

I really don't understand...is it that one inch from 17 to 16 that turns a car from amazing to hideous-looking? My dealer didn't have a non-sport, but I've seen pics and I don't think it's such a big deal. 17s look better, yes, but not THAT much better. Is your preference for the feel of driving w/ sport package influencing how you see the car when it's parked? Is there anyone else out there that thinks the standard 325 looks fine? From the comments so far it doesn't look like there will be many.

Replying to: blueguydotcom (May 03, 2005 7:44 am) The polarization lines in the glasses are horizontal.. The LCD display is at a 45 degree angle to these lines... if you tilt your head one way, the LCD display should disappear completely, the other way, it should be crystal clear... It even works that way in my Honda.. I get the feeling that if they made the lines horizontal or vertical, then depending on your sunglasses, the display would either be perfect or non-existent.. I'm not sure how else they can do it.. Or, what would make the BMW any worse than any other car.. regards, kyfdx |

| I had my ignition coils go out yesterday also (2003 325i 40k). I sat in a black 325i. The interior was better than expected. I thought it looked modern especially the new gauges. The exterior in black looks really good. The std. wheels look blah. | |
