My New E90!

excogitus · 10-04-2007, 12:02 AM

I picked up my new 2008 E90, a 335i, Arctic Metallic, with auto, sport suspension, and navigation. The color is really great but does change depending on the light. So far I've observed light blue, light green, and even gray. I traded in a 325xi (MT). There are a lot of similarities but the differences are dramatic. It took took the sales associate two hours to explain everything, especially the i-drive functions. But there is a lot that the i-drive does and even in one day I've become accustomed to using some of its functions. But the driving feel is the key. Just terrific!

Do you miss the XI part though?

I should have realized that everybody would want pictures--as do I when somebody writes about a new car. Unfortunately, my computer and camera skills are limited. The pictures of the Arctic Metallic on E90post are pretty good. It is a difficult color to photograph well, however since a snapshot can't capture the changes as you walk around the car. No, I don't miss the all wheel drive. I liked the other car, but with winter tires I'll be all right on snow--maybe better than the xi with all season tires.
