holly, fucking, shit

just wow

only complaint is the dam clutch, absolutly no feedback, im used to feeling it endgage very ditinctly and such, this is just really loose, no feeling :/

[1187sportsman]

Are you complaining about the clutch to? When i first started to roll of with the cari was like wtf? Seemed like a 200k clutch about to go anytime. Im not sure if thats normal, but this being my first BMW, id expect a little more feeling and reliability on a brand new car. Im gonna go back to the dealership and drive another manual. If its the same thing then i gotta get used to it. If not, somethings wrong with my car.

i think its normal, bmws are suposed to be ultra smooth like that, i stalled it 6 times on the way off the lot (half because of the clutch and half because of the accelerator)

the accelerator is the same way, you hvae to give it a lot of input for it to give you a response

i personally prefer a really the exact opposite of both, but ill get used to it i guess

[teknochild]

man, ive turned DTC off a few times, im still not getting any wheel spin, i have a feeling that instead of burning rubber im burning clutch

guess that cdv valve does need to come out

[BlueLion]

real happy with this car.....the automatic works great...lol.....the ipod adapter is that not bad, and the navi is that as bad as the other say...its not great, but not bad......i did drive off the lot without and plate or temp plate....i got a couple min away when i realized and had to go back.....alot found a scratch on the center console which will be replaced next friday

hey teknochild.....you getting a special plate? The white and green standard plate looks horrible, on the blue

Finally got home.. been tooling around and playing with the car all day lol

It's a pretty big difference from my Z4, but I'm already pretty used to it. The 328i actually has a lot more power than I had imagined.. easily as quick as the Z4 3.0i, and amazingly, a LOT more low-end torque. Power on the low-end is all I really care about anyhow, so I'm very happy there.

In D mode, the throttle does seem pretty unresponsive, but really, in traffic that's a good thing, imho. Slightly more understeer too, unless I'm imagining things (hard to have good frame of reference since I've been without the Z4 for over a month now). Steering is also considerably heavier, but it feels good. I'll have to drive some in DS mode and see if that changes things (for reference, in the Z4 there was a Sport button that was also engaged when you put the car into DS -- it would make the steering heavier, the transmission shift later, and the throttle significantly more responsive).

I swear iDrive must have been updated.. mine is really quick. Or maybe it's dependent on the complexity of the map (i.e., larger town = slower response times). Either way, I didn't notice any sluggishness at all, and I've noticed it on other cars I've test-driven here in the area.

My only gripe is with the iPod adapter, and one that others have mentioned already: that you can't skip to the next RANDOM track in random mode.. I always just shuffle my entire iPod, and if I get stuck on some band that I have 50000 albums of, I have to turn random off and back on again to get past it (thank god for the voice commands at least).. Ugh. But I'll live with it.

And.. OMG Space Grey is gorgeous on this car.. with the Coral Red leather, I am in love. It's so eye-catching. Coupled with the red ambient lighting at night.. it's sexy! Everyone at the dealership was hovering around my car today

Lastly, Tom Jones at the Imported Car Store was an amazing CA to deal with. Easy to talk to, respectful, courteous, and very responsive.

Good experience all around. Happy to be in a 3

YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, i would NOT have thought about that, now its going to bug the shit out of me; im goign to have to



so far 350miles + later and a 50$ tank of gas, i am LOVING this car, im getting pretty use to the soft clutch now


anyone else find themself just skipping 1st gear and WOTing in second gear instead?

i found a 07 350z with the sticker on the window being test driven, so i buzzed his ass, i hope the test driver went to a bmw dealership afterward

i also clayed and klasse-d my car today, while i was doing it pretty much everyone that came in to the wash place came up and asked me about it, and the guy who i was waiting with while our cars got tinted was drooling over it

ahh what else- ... wow 7 quarts takes forever to heat up

WOW the stereo is great, anyone who says it doesnt have enough base must be one of those **** rolling down the street with a trunk full of subs so loud that the trunk get shooken off



ok this is important, next time you guys shut of your cars, open the door first and listen, theres a really distinct clunking sound when i shut my car off, kinda scaring me

im posting all my wonderfull "got my new car" crap in here because i know the rest of the forum doesnt really want to hear it for the 8954183274 time

its strange, with this car i have been doing the speedlimit a lot more, when i get to light or go around corners i go 10x as fast, but in between them i just cruise; where as in my last car i would be flying

not sure why, maybe the pushing back in the seat at each light is enough to satisfy my NFS

[teknochild]

the k line website STILL hasnt updated LOL
