Sadly they say its faster 0-60 since it has better traction off the line

True but nothing in this world beats propulsion!(RWD) for the driving feeling.

Also, you cannot get the sport tuned supension on the xi, even if you order it with the Sport Package. I toyed with the idea of getting an xi, until my sales guy told me that!

my friend lowered his 335 on H&R springs and it looked great. The ride was still very smooth too.

I think you can. I worked on a 325XI wagon with a sport pacakge and that car was as low as all the other cars with sport packages. Nothing looked afterarket either.

Oh, and change out the tires asap. Your gonna need to replace them soon because of bubbles anyways, so you might as well do it now.

Hmm, maybe its different on the 325s? I checked the 335xi build page on the BMW website, and it does not list the sport suspension as one of the components of the sport package. Either way, those H&R springs look pretty damn good!

Ya, I just listed most of the stuff I have haha, I was being funny... poorly I guess.

How painting the mesh would look you mean? I painted my grilles first then the mesh to match. I like it, makes the front look meaner.

I really like that color I think it looks really nice. I have a friend with an 06 325i in that color but with the darker interior. Now I am going to assume that car has an amazing stereo like the 325i because I LOVE riding in that car with the music on (the first couple minutes we have to blast it all the way to get rid of the seatbelt alarm, because she HATES them). How many more miles before you are aloud to totally open it up?

I'm totally in love with the color!!! I kinda wish i got the darker interior as well, but I think the beige looks good with the blue. Break in period according to the manual is 1200 miles. I've got about 1000 more to go... haven't been able to drive nearly as much as I'd like to! This is my first manual trans car so I've been taken it very easy!!

Tell her to wear her seatbelt and she'll not only not have to listen to that alarm she'll live longer ...

I dunno man, I think Montego looks a heck of a lot better on the 2 door 3 series than the 4 door. Great car choice though!

Agreed. Love the car though. Maybe I'm like that because I've never seen many 3 series sedans in bright colors. I bet Shadzilla is just counting the days until 1200 miles.

Shad, just remember to clean the leather often... I've got parchment in my CL, and it's tough to keep clean...

thats Monaco right? And Saddle interior?

He Shadzilla, quick question, and for you too JEsal..

Ipod, i got it working, but i hate looking for track by track or having to press the album, artist feature. I want to use the list feature. how or where do i find link to intructions for ipod. I press the list button and it says list empty. So i am asuming its for my playlists which is better.

(note) friends car... she got it friday, went on trip friday, left it for me to try and play (thinking of 335myself) got it with 15 miles, not gona give it back with 115.) now my tl feels old.

yes, its Monaco with Saddle.

Not sure with the Ipod thing, i didnt get that option
But from what others have complained about on the e90 forum is that you have to scroll through the whole list to get to the song. Seems kinda annoying.
