So far so good at about 450 miles on the clock. I took it San Diego this past weekend and it was awesome. I had a friend up front and one sat in the backseat without a complaint about head or legroom. (He's about 5' 10".) The car is totally solid and not a squeak, creak, or rattle. (Knock on wood.) I have no objections to the build quality. The plastics are all very nice and don't look or feel cheap.
I am super impressed with the handling. I have the sport package so that helps but overall, it's pure BMW. I did not opt for the active steering as I thought it was a waste of money and rather useless on the 3er. I have owned an E30 M3 and an E36 sedan and this E90 is true to the formula that made every 3er a hit.
I am just blown away with the features of the E90. The navigation is excellent and iDrive is a bit annoying but works well enough. The voice commands are good too. I love being able to change radio stations by voice or make navigation commands by voice. The PDC has both beeps and a graphic of a car that appears on the navigation screen to show you exactly where an object it. Cool!
Go check one out. I'd get sport and premium for sure and if you want the trick toys, get nav as well. The only question for you is whether you want to wait and likely pay thousands more for the 335i. I had been reading that the sedan wasn't due to bow until next spring. I didn't want to wait and the 330 is certainly no slouch.
