Thanks bud.... I went on the configurator (to see what it would look like) and I am going to change my pre-order to Coral Red Leather instead of Saddle.....

Don't know yet....but if I can, it is going on.....
The only options that I will refuse to put on is bluetooth and active steering. While I appreciate the technology, both detract from the driving experience.

do yourself a favor, drive the car both with and without active steering and then make the decision. active steering is one of those options that after having driven an active steering car, i won't look back.

I didn't know you could order the e92 335i in X (all-wheel drive).

Even with Bluetooth, I find it distracting to carry on a conversation while driving. Especially if you're involved with a customer trying to resolve a problem. Unless it's an absolute emergency, I will let the incoming call go to voice mail while I'm driving.

![]() I drove a 328i loaner without it and it felt to me like I was driving a John Deere. Now that I've driven with it for almost 2 years I wouldn't want to go without it. For me, it definitely enhances the driving experience. Also, I'm curious how bluetooth effects your driving experience?

I don't know about you guys....I hate when I get calls when I am out driving. Driving is a pure experience, not to be interrupted specially by girlfriends.

You guys are free to accuse me of being old-school..... But as a former Porsche track junkie, the fewer things between me and the contact patch is almost always better. My old school 944 Turbo race car had a simple rack & pinion steering rack, no traction control and no ABS and the car felt great. I know these active safety devices are saving lives but I also feel these things are taking away from the driving experience and worse, it is a crutch for many people and they don't develop the driving skills. For example, with today's stability control, anybody can dump their cars into a corner and they will usually be OK, but this is also slow. To go around fast, you need to oversteer, drift a little and throttle steer.....if you cannot feel your car's butt or the Big Brother system intervenes too early, you can't go fast nor do you learn how to drive at 9/10s and 10/10s. I realize that not everyone races / tracks their car but we are turning into a group of automatons relying on driver's aids..... Bluetooth - don't bug me when I am driving. **** Edit **** See http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54249

I like the Coupe too, but there is something I can't resist about a car. The fact that people stop at a light to race you, and later, the emotion of surprising them when the car pulls out leaving them behind. It might be a silly thing, maybe a 0-50MPG mini race, but it involves so much when the person you are racing does not expect the car to outperform. Same happened when I had my miata, people stopped at the traffic lights with a "just a miata" attitude. Off course, you might not win all the time, but for the pure excitement of having a car that looks okey, but runs much better than what you expect, even if it is not that fast. I would like to drive the 335xi Sedan, for even more surprises. But your car will an excellent buy. Enjoy it.

[QUOTE=335idrive;822166]I was thinking about waiting for the 335xi, but they told me it wouldn't have the paddle shifters, and plus, i'm an impatient bastard. Very happy with rwd though...
How and where did you find out about that. This might be a deterrent for me, I want the XI but I also want the paddle shifters:mad: |

They have definitely removed the paddles from the 2007 335XI sedan. When I originally ordered sedan, I asked if SMG was available (real SMG) and my salesguy definitely said no SMG and no Paddles for the automatic. Not going to happen on the XI.

I just talked to my CA and he said they can't order ZSP on XI models. BMW wont do it, thats why you get no paddles either. Apparently they don't want bad press for their XI models, so they wont hamper its abilities by adding ZSP. Apparently they are making a big push to beat Audi at the AWD game, and thats why they are concerned about ZSP on an XI. Go figure.

I have yet to drive an Audi with a better suspension than a BMW. The speculation is that BMW doesn't want X Drive to suffer as a result from the sports suspension???

I bet the next thing he's going to tell you is he just happens to have an E90 335xi coming in next week (no ZSP, of course). Get another CA.
