Great spec, but think white is now a bit last year (although it does suit the coupé).

Excuse my ignorance, but does the 'Visibility Pack' mean Xenons?
- Adaptive Headlights
- Headlight wash
- High-beam Assistant
- Rain sensor with auto. headlight activation
- Xenon headlights

All for £685, bargain.

Agree, I see alot of white cars around, and I always think "oh dear mate, stuck with that for 3 years are we?"

My car must have the visibility pack then. Xenons really make the car stand out. That is a good price actually

Depends how old your car is, my old 06 330i was pre-'pack' option, so yo had to buy them individually, very expensive as xenons on their own were about £700.

When I bought the LCI car the pack was a no brainer.

All coupes have xenons, and if you have xenons you are legally obliged to have headlight wash and levelling device........I think!

That's right - from DfT:

"Once fitted to the vehicle it must have headlamp cleaning and self-levelling (which can be for the headlamp or can be in the vehicle suspension - some expensive estate cars have "self-levelling suspension" and that is adequate). Also the dipped beam must stay on with the main beam."

That is a bargain indeed, the adaptive headlights option is more than that on its own.

Why didnt BMW put Xenons as standard on the E90 like the E92? I know they are expensive but they could have made them standard atleast on the 6 cyl models instead along with the free headlamp washers.

I still havnt found the right spec E90. If its got all the other toys it doesnt have xenons, and if it has xenons it doesnt have heated seats or nav....

Might have to buy a brand new one

I have an 08 plate Alpine white E90 335i M-sport (done 8k miles) with prof. media pack, visiblity pack, heated seats etc. Yours for the princely sum of 27.5k I'd struggle to find anything to replace it with though

Its ordered.....

Right, the order is in, as follows;

335D Msport Saloon
Alpine white
Red/brown Dakota Leather
Visibility Package
Media Package - pro nav
Harmon kardon surround
Model Delete
Sun protect glass
Windscreen with grey sunband
Sliding armrest
Electric Lumber support
Seat heating
Rear side blinds
USB
Split folding rear seats
Exterior mirror, folding and dimming
NO Smoking package


I dropped the sunroof, as although very nice, I felt the amount it would get used, didn't justify the price tag.

On arrival, the car will also have the following;

Performance black grilles
H and R springs
19" wheels of some description with proper tyres
Front painted splitters
Painted M3 boot spoiler
oh and an E-maps remap!

And possibly Black wrapped roof!

That will do for the time being, the waiting begins!
