After two weeks

I know - pictures.
Coming from e46 330xi to e90 330xi, I expected incremental change (other than looks) but I'm amazed how much better this car is. It is quieter, handles better, has more features and is really a huge step up. I drove "everything" before purchasing this car - almost didn't want to get another BMW but when I test drove I was sold.
Other than some confusion with setting up bluetooth without reading the manual - no problems.
Another great job by BMW.

Downsides - I do agree run flats are a little stiff but my e46 had them and my other car does also so maybe I'm used to them.
The other "problem" is that my spouse loves the car also. One day her 05 325xit "wouldn't" start so she HAD to take my car. Funny her car started fine for me. Oh well!

Yeah my wife is already trying to claim ownership and the car is still 5 weeks out...

That's another reason why I got a manual, wife can't drive one!

Mine, all mine..............

yep, the e90 is a great leap forward for bmw.

thankfully my wife loves her mercedes so there isn't any problem for me as to who drives what car.

enjoy!

I came from a e46 also, and couldn't agree more.
