Congrats on your new car... Enjoy it.........

I had go with the Silver trim and sports package thought (cuz I think the 3 spoke steeringwheel is PHAT!!!)

I had probably get the Topez Bule with Grey interior, too.........

But after all, it's a good deal, and a nice car... enjoy.......

SL my man, I wanted orient blue + black interior..
but for that i had to wait till january man.
Sports Package is great, but dealer warned us how we must get snow tire for that *which is true* and that scared my parents.. so i couldn't get it... hehe

My plan is to get M-package seprately, maybe when it's summer.. and get 19" rims and use my 16" as snow tires ^_^
yeh yeh.

Riceboy,

All the best with your new car!! Nice!
BTW, is that wood trim real in that bimmer or is it Acura Wood??

BTW, let us know objectively how the Bimmer compared with the TL, (before the accidents, of course.. )

riceboy_TL

Wasabi!!!

hehe.. yap, it's real wood... (at least that's what i heard so far).
I would say, Acura 3.2 got a more luxry interior. 3 series is kind of tight in space comparing to TL. But, everything is where it's suppose to be. It's like easy to reach and stuff.

- Handling.....
BMW rocks. U can turn so easily and with waaaaaaay less body roll than TL. In this 325, while driving at a high speed, u feel you are really close to the ground and u get alot of road feel. With acura, i get this floating feeling (i thought it was normal) hehee..

- Acceleration...
My car is still under the break-in time. So, i didn't bring the rpm over 4000. But, TL beat BMW in accelerating for sure. I remember i step a tiny bit on that gas padel in TL, i'll be flying already. but with BMW, u have to step a bit harder.

However, BMW has a nice constant acceleration.. our TL has this delay in shifting gear and speed up thing. It's feels like a suddent BOOST in TL, but a all time boost in BMW.

- Interior
TL = luxry and rommy and rather boring.
BMW 3s = More sporty, tougher feeling. Everything in BMW feels so TIGHT, like TOUGH or something. Steering wheel is tighter, doors are heavy (but thiner), everything is like build with pretty good quality. But less space and less luxry feeling.

With BMW, i would drive it myself and have fun.
TL, I would rather have a driver to drive for me and i'll enjoy a ice tea at the back seat.

- Bi-Xeon HID lights.

TL - White lights, less blue.
BMW 2002 - White lights, less blue, but brighter than TLs. It lights up everything infront of u and more, on the side too! IT has a wide angel.. from left all daway to da right.

TL - Highbeam is yellow color.
BMW - Highbeam is HID, and flashing temporary high-beam is Yellow. For flashing, it'll use the center lights which makes a yellow color. For constant high-beam, it'll tilt the xeon lights and charges more power/votage (??) to it to make it brighter.

Too bad they re-designed the xeon in BMW this year.. they took away most of the blue effect in BMW xeons. So, it's more of white than blue/purple.

- Ride comfort
TL feel more soft, like driving around sitting on a sofa.
BMW feels more stiff (with stiffer springs/shocks), and u can feel everything on the road~ haha... my a$$ hurts (just kidding).

well.. that's all I can think of right now.... but i think our factory BOSE sound system is better than their Harmon Karon 12 speakers(2 woofers) system. It looks fancy, but the base sounds weird... not toooooo bassy u know.. not too low.

my baby is one day old and i fonud a scratch on the door already (1 cm in length) it's not too deep.. perhaps only on the clearcoat.. $hit.. must be one of the girl who felt it up with her hand full of rings and chains and whatever they got ~~

riceboy_TL

no problem! I'll take more pics for sure~

i'll tell u when i do~ ^_^

riceboy_TL

oh shoot! I thought it was da trend, da style to black out the license plate man! Hahaha... guess i was wrong

daverman

You're no friend of mine if you feel up my car!

SLVR TL

Yeah... what he said. I can't see the car well 'nuff. Congrats tho.

Well, not everybody. It doesn't snow where I live. So I ain't getting any snow tires. I'll probably put my stock rims/tires back on once it starts raining. Pot holes, pot holes!!
