sdiver68 · 11-20-2006, 06:48 PM

OK I'm back on to the 335i Sedan after flirting with e55's (see my below post)

Here's the order:

Monaco Blue/Black/Burl (better interior combo?)
Premium
Sport
Heated Seats
Step
Paddle
Style 195 wheels
Xede + exhaust
Reduced dust brake pads
+ any other performance mods that make sense...

I highly recommend the nav with voice control. It's very intuitive once you get used to it after a couple of days. Monaco is great but hard to take care of. I went with beige and poplar interior. If you do alot of highway driving acc is a good option.
Good luck
Kenny

Navigation is great but I'm still not that used to the voice control nor do I find it that useful... hopefully that will change.

Comfort access, def worth the $500. Get it.

I will have to agree that the comfort access is a very convenient option at a relatively minimal cost.

Otherwise, your list is good. Pull the trigger!

I went with Lemon interior but also think grey looks good in the blue cars. Burl is definitely the best trim imo, no matter the interior color.

I got folding rear seats as well. I didn't have them in my M3/4 and they really would have come in handy several of times. Could have kept stuff off of the seats, which is where the stuff ended up.

+1 on the CA

How much are the 195's going to cost? Are you getting a credit for the 162's or getting both? I really like those, they should look great.

OK as it turned out I prefered Montego to Monaco so this is what I take delivery on tomorrow since I found a dealer with it just off the truck!

Montego Blue/Beige/Poplar
Premium
Sport
Heated Seats
Step
Paddle
Comfort (which I left off my original list on accident, I hve it on my M45 and love it!)

Yes, 6spd manual...problem is so much of my driving is city driving and driving in traffic, and the paddles are fun in the twisties

The 195's are $322 each at bmwheels.com, and the dealer agreed to match and install for free. However, now I'm thinking 19's are the way to go...so I'm probably going to keep the stockers and add 19's in the Spring...probably about when the Xede and exhaust go on with the Chicago group buy...

Nav is almost worthless for me...and adding iDrive to get it? I'd rather have a Tom Tom or Garmin I can take with me on my frequent business flights.

thanks all!
