regardless Joel, great choice. After 4 days and 500 miles, it's a great commuter. Plenty of power, comfortable and I'm getting 29+ mpg on the freeway even when varying RPMs for break-in. You would love it. I still recommend renegotiating the discount and the trade-in. Find another dealer and play them against each other also. It's a capitalistic society and you should take advantage. BTW, you know you get better deals on cars on the lot vs ordered cars..

Please keep me posted on how things are going with your 335i. It'll be nice to hear what I can expect down the road, no pun intended. Is iDrive really that bad? I've had very limited experience with it, but it doesn't seem so bad. I don't think much is going to change regarding the discount. There are only two dealers in the whole state here.. All the ones in the Boston area have bad reputations, and we already have an established relationship with Tulley so I'm not going to be able to shop around much. Anyways, it's still a much better deal than I expected.

Idrive is great. the processor on the 335i is much faster than the M5. The secret to Idrive is Voice Recognition. You can get to any screen with VR. You can even enter addresses with VR. Those who hate it just haven't RTFM. BTW, just because you're in a certain place doesn't mean you have to have to pick it up from the dealers around. Hell.. I bought my Ferrari from Portland and my soon to be arriving GT3RS from New Mexico. They ship and it's cheap.

Some pics of the combo I got, courtesy of E90post:




This is the exact color and exact same wheels I'm getting.^


And the exact interior combo. Picture it with iDrive and a stick-shift, that's it.

I think I just found my next car, not sure about the interior though. Either way, still a beautiful car.

I recommend it. The interior is very nice. It's much less plasticky than a 5-series interior. It feels very well put together.

Yeah. They say its only chance of being sold at a wholesale auction. We're thinking about turning in my brother's '99 A4 2.8 with 97,000 miles instead. That thing is a piece of junk. The 330xi has been so reliable, it seems stupid to sell a perfectly good car when we have a garage queen here.

Sounds beautiful CJ. The exterior is very eye catching but I must agree with the others on the interior. It looks nice when new but it will get pretty dirty. To be totally honest, I think it's a little too soft a look for a young man's sports car. There is a little too much luxury in that combo. Just my $0.02.
