I just found out I will be getting my New 330 next week. Can't wait that long.

What can I do to pass the time between now and then.

Congratulations! Good choice, that's an amazing car. haha

Pass time? These forums are a great way to pass time. Sit on here asking questions and reading about bimmers.

Get lots of pics.

Planning on doing any modding to it?

**e90jimmy** · 05-09-2005, 11:28 AM

Oh, there will be lots and lots of Pics.

I have not yet decided on any mods. First I have to get past spending 42,000 on a CAR.

I think this makes me the first on UB.C with a 330i.

I got the first one out of BMW of Towson.

**komodo** · 05-13-2005, 07:34 AM

I think you're the first with an e90. haha, congratulations!

Can't wait to hear reviews of it.

That looks very nice! Congrats on the car. Does it feel pretty fast, good handling, shift feel, etc? Could u compare it to an e46 or something?

**94bmw325i** · 05-13-2005, 10:37 PM

Also that's a cool cup holder for your thermos by the looks of it!

**e90jimmy** · 05-16-2005, 08:05 AM

Sure I can compare it to the e46. The dealer was nice enough to give me a '05 325 Auto as a loaner before mine got here.

First off let me say that the '06 has a lot more power, even when I test drove the 06' 325 I felt it lacked a little power.

The six speed manual is a really nice transmission, but because the torque, did not go up as much as the HP, you end up downshifting more than you might like too. I previously has a TDi Golf, in that car you could almost drive off in 5th gear. In the 330, 6th is only good for cruising at over 80mph, there is very little acceleration.

As for the twisties, this car is a dream. The sport package keeps the car planted like nothing I have ever driven. It holds, and holds, and holds, I keep my foot down, and the car keeps turning. I have not gotten anywhere near losing it.

Inside the car feels even nicer than the 5 series. Things like the AUX port in the center console are a great touch, and if you don't have a MP3 player, you can just pop in a CD with MP3s on it.

The best possible praise I can give this car, it is worth every penny.

**pimpin328is** · 05-16-2005, 09:42 AM

beautiful! do you have any interior shots???

**komodo** · 05-16-2005, 10:07 AM

The stock headunit supports mp3s? Very nice.

**e90jimmy** · 05-16-2005, 10:32 AM

Yes, I do have one Interior shot.

And yes, just copy a bunch of MP3s to a CD, pop it into the player and you are good to go.

There are also voice commands if you have a bluetooth phone, very slick.

wow. sick ass ride man!

**Spieluhr** · 05-17-2005, 11:56 PM

i am personnaly somewhat turned off by some new cars because it seems that they lack the sporty feel of most old cars, kinda like they are TOO comfy. but maybe i just need to sit myself down in one of these...

**94bmw325i** · 05-21-2005, 10:14 AM

heh, I need to go to one of these dealerships and go w/ my dad or someone to go and test one of these bad boys.

**bmw4life** · 05-22-2005, 07:13 PM

Dude that is a awesome car...I love the interior. The only part I don't like is the shape of the rear lights.
