Good info, MD. If I'm in the area I sometimes stop in at the dealer just to have a look around and to see what's on the lot. It sounds fun to drive. I'm surprised that the stereo is bad... I heard it was supposed to be good. However, if it's anything like the harmon/kardon Business stereo in my E46, then it sucks.. The stereo in my car is amazingly bad. It's terrible. It's very flat sounding. It took me about a week to get used to it, because after listening to music in the X5 it was such a step down. It literally felt like someone stuffed cotton balls in my ears. Also, the speakers rattle and the deck under the rear window rattles. It came that way, and I don't even have the volume up far ever. The stereo really, really SUCKS on the 330. Also, I can relate to your comments about the amazing lack of room in the back seat and the trunk... And the car was supposed to have grown bigger than the E46?
