I love that steering wheel!!!

From CarAndDriver.com:
"BMW 330i Performance Package
If you're disappointed that the current M3 comes only as a two-door, perhaps the four-door 330i Performance Package, which made its world debut in Los Angeles, will provide some solace. The new 330i PP is powered by a modified 235-horsepower 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that features different camshafts and performance-modified digital motor electronics. This revised powerplant is mated to a short-throw six-speed manual transmission that includes a shorter final drive ratio. BMW claims the 330i PP will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, about half a second quicker than a standard 330i. Complementing the upgraded powertrain are a new sport suspension (stiffer than the 330i's standard sport suspension), 18-inch wheels with mixed-size performance tires, an aerodynamic package, black headlight trim, and a new exhaust. Inside, there are cloth-and-Alcantara sport seats, an Alcantara-wrapped sport steering wheel, anthracite headliner, and black cube aluminum trim. Production of the 330i PP will begin in March 2003, priced at just under $40,000, with the first cars arriving at dealers in April."

 

Wow.......thats amazingly hot. Im more of a 2 door fan (my dad has a 328is) but i still think that everything on there kicks ass except for that wierd spoiler.

I'd buy it!

 

$40,000.... BMW has to kiss my ass...and lick some balls first!...

I would buy the new S60R or even the new Audi S4 before even looking at this 330iPP....

 

nice. all but the seats... look cloth.

 

bullshit, for a new 2004 s4 your looking at over $50,000, and umm, just under $40,000 is somewhat of a different class. Then you can look at an m3. Like it or hate it, it probably drives like a dream. and, ok, to avoid flames, i KNOW its overpriced.

 

I like everything, except the wheels.

 

i think they might be sueade (sp?)

 

0-60 in six seconds, .5 seconds faster than a regular 330i?

Umm, ok. I'm still trying to figure out how Car and Driver tested their 330ci at 5.8.

I don't care if it's over priced. I like it (especially in red)

BMW has bumped it up a notch, and that's good. Any kind of improvements in any car usually will provoke improvements in the competitors cars.

I think now is a great time to buy cars. There are alot of nice ones out there, and they just seem to get better w/ each model year.

 

Its like bmw and their HP ratings... they are very modest.

 

Carbon Fiber trim is so 3 years ago.

 

hmm, i hope it doesnt start at 39k and then you have to add those options listed...

 

didn't see anything that would make me want to give up my '98 E36 M3, especially with those extra doors on the back!

 

I saw it at the la auto show today. I thought it was an M5 at first from far away.

 

Scrib....just do it...you know you wanna....do it....you won't be happy till you do

 

I don't want a sedan...

 

BMW can eat it. I would walk out the door as soon as i heard 40k

 

40K?? If it does indeed sell at 40K, then I think that is great deal...by BMW standards anyway. You can't touch a 330 around here for less than 40K regardless of what the ads/web site/magazines say. A 330 w/ CL type options runs abour 42K at the dealers around here
