Going to order E91 in future

TSM330i · 04-11-2007, 12:30 PM

My wife is going to be driving the E90 from now on and I wanted something with a little more space in the back to haul things (kids and other stuff). I was thinking about a used S4 Avant, but the fuel mileage is dismal at best (15-19 mpg mixed).
I wanted something more sporty than the E90xi - it doesn't have 6-speed manual or sport suspension. I'll be selling the Boxster, but retaining the Z06.

Here are the options I'm thinking:
manual (of course)
sport suspension
Montego Blue Metallic
Std black interior
aluminum trim
heated seats
rear seat window shades
xenons

What do you think about the options? Anyone have a non-xi wagon with the sport package? Aparently BMW doesn't put the sport springs on xi cars.

I probably won't be ordering for another 15-18 months or so.

No way! Cars have much better driving dynamics than SUVs. I actually hate SUVs.

Do you have the front end of that car?!!!

BTW: Your car looks sweet!

I just looked up the kit. It's called the M Aerodynamic Kit and it retails for $1250 here in the US.
Kit includes Front and Rear Spoiler, Left and Right Side Trim and Fog Lights.
Paint I imagine would be extra.

Here are lots of pics of the Montego Blue E91 from our belgian member Bert:

TSM330i · 04-11-2007, 02:23 PM

Dante,

Thanks for all the pics! I'm getting very excited now that I have seen the car in blue. I hope by the time I order my car that BMW will have the 335i sport wagon in the US.

You're car looks sweet! I'm very tempted to get the M Aero Kit.

DMasters · 04-13-2007, 12:15 AM

When is the US getting the 335 touring? There's no way I'm getting the 328. Also I noticed that some of you guys cars have a dual exhaust and some have a single? Could someone explain?
