I kinda like the seat-belt in E92 because with mines it always leaves marks on my side-air bag..

Yeah, I think this pretty much guarantees it. All that's left is a test drive.

If all goes well, the 335 Ci will be my next car. If only I could get this quality of forum with it. Can I still hang here?

Looks nice.... The whole front area looks similar to the 6 series, especially with the I-nav, just smaller area.

The exterior looks nice, think the interior could/should be nicer though. Same goes for the sedan, nice looking car, could have been a hot car with the interior.

I really really like this (almost as much as Jesal)

I'm not crazy about the seatbelt thing either, just another thing to break...

I was thinking about the Z4 coupe, but without a backseat I was hesitant about even thinking about it...

I think the 335 just made it to the top of my "next car" wish list...

I usually don't like silver/grey cars, but this one looks great in grey (like all german cars seem to)...

BMW giving 5.5 secs for the 335 means C&D will do 5.1 all day along.

I didnt read all the articles but did they drop the 325?

Will it only be 328/335?

I havent been this excited about a new car in a long time!

looks great minus the sucky dash. no attempt to mold the dash smoothly into the doors was made just an abrupt 90 degree angle. pretty lame imo. the navi hump looks ridiculous as well. i love navi but if i bought this car i'd have to forgoe it seeing how it horribly disfigures the lines of the dashboard. i'm considering this for my next car but i'm very disappointed at the interior/dash layout. it's just not as driver centric and cockpit like as the e36/46 was.

Yes it is, everything is well within reach.....just because the center console isn't angled toward the driver doesn't mean it isn't a driver friendly setup.

My oldman has a 550i and like the setup better than my M3.

At this point, the E46 is old news and people will be lining up for this new coupe.

i'm talking about aesthetics not ergonomics. it doesn't have that cockpit 'feel' that was present in the e36 and somewhat present in the e46.

of course people will buy it, but i think the dash layout is shitty.

I had a 95 M3 and still have an 04 M3...........and have no problem with the E90.

But not to worry, as we both agree. BMW won't miss either of us not buying a new E90.

Don't you drive a Z?

How did that pass your interior test?

Seriously, yuck.

Nope, sold it a long time ago. Materials wise I'd agree with you but layout wise the Z felt like a cockpit. This 3 series is laid out like a buick. Anyway now we're comparing apples and oranges. This is a BMW and as such I expect certain things out of it. This interior disappoints me. Glad you like it?

Why am I the only one that sees a fundamental change in driver centric dash layout in this new e90?

The only thing that gets me going is the turbo I6 but that's about it, I’m not overly excited about it.

agreed with zero day. e36 had a best interior.

i had 95 325i and i love the interior. current one is too flat and needs more buttons.














but i still want e90!
