Congrats on the new ride, and good choice of transmission. 😉

What's wrong with a sedan??? I would always choose a sedan over a coupe. Easier to get in and out of in the back. I'm glad my car is a 4dr.

You own the car! Passengers get in on he other side 😛

I have never been a fan of wood trim 🙁 but its your car!

I agree but the brushed aluminum looked cheap and gets scratched supposedly. It was either brown or gray colored wood. This was the best compromise. My last car had aluminum.

That turbo thing if it works looks like a good marriage with a lease car.

I was thinking about this too but lease rates for this car aren't that good. I don't drive that much and my last car after 3 years had only about 26K miles so I'm hoping I don't run into trouble.

how much did u pay total?

Go to carsdirect.com. I paid $500 over invoice. The only options are sport package and Logic7.

Yes, the aluminum scartches really easily. It's very soft since its, well, aluminum 😛.

Awesome car! Now go get an M3 steering wheel and (more critically IMO) a ZHP shift knob!

I just bought my CPO 2006 330i in April. I REALLY wish I'd waited - with the economy tanking there are some amazing deals available now (like yours).

A new steering wheel and shift knob as first mods??? wow........

Nice choice, I love that engine.

Now get to modding! 😉

Awesome.

6MT and no NAV/iDrive! Cool!

What other options/packages did you get?

The new iDrive is actually supposed to be quite good.

I got the sport package and Logic 7 stereo. I also bought 4 snow tires and rims after market. I should have gotten comfort access and cold weather though. Oh well.

I'm going to get a matte black grill, LED angel eyes and possibly some LED interior lighting after I'm through. I'm not going to do any engine or ECU mods just yet. Maybe after the warranty is up.

 

[thomsbrain]

Perfect configuration. 🙂 I'm envious.

Congrats! I wish they put that engine in the X already. Everybody who's interested has been asking for a couple years, at least.

Indeed... they matched Audi's system from all accounts. Hard-drive based nav and music storage... can't go wrong.

I know, I played with the new iDrive at the DC Auto Show...and it is a huge improvement and pretty much as good as MMI.

Still, if building my own, I would go without it.
