Just went to see the E90 at the dealer.
saw a 330i silver with the sports package. It does not look as bad as it does in the pictures, however, in saying that the car is butt and I'll say it again, butt ugly without the sport package wheels. The tailights are still a bit to unBMW, and more on the Japanese side. The interior is nice, however, what happened to the interior reading light in the front?? it went from a nice clear plastic on my E46 to a dull and cheap looking plastic, also the dashboard would definetely look better with the navigation, otherwise it just doesn't flow....My 2 cents for now. Please keep in mind than when the E46 first came out, I thought it was ugly, but somehow I warmed up to it...  | | Reply » Just went to see the E90 at the dealer. |

I can see why you might prefer the E46's looks, but "butt ugly" (aka '66 Rambler or '74 Pacer) is pushing it a bit.
Compared to many Ferraris, the E46 is "butt ugly", but we love it anyway!

I agree with everything that you said except for the E46 ugly when it came out thing. Yeah the E90 is nice, very nice but it doesnt look athletic or classic. The interior is where i think BMW did an excellent job aside from removing the drivers oriented dash and the window switches from the center console. Still the E90 will sell like crazy!!!

I test drove the SG 330i today, no navi, auto, black interior with burl, non sport. It was very cloudy in Cincy today with light rain, and the SG looked pretty good. Not much of the rumored purple tint. I'll venture back when the sun is out. I also saw a black 325 nonsport on the showroom floor and the wheels make a HUGE difference in the look. The std. 325 wheels and tires look terrible. That said, the std. 330i looked very sharp, and much bigger than I anticipated. The SG was sitting near a black E46 and looked much larger. They also had a TiSilver, stick, poplar, black interior, no navi, sport. It looked absolutely gorgeous. Almost took my breath to be honest with you. I didn't drive that one, but it looked awesome. The Tisilver was sitting facing out right next to a black 530i, and amazingly, the width of the cars was VERY similar. The length of the 530i was obviously longer and the rear larger, but the width of the cars was very similar. Amazing.
Anyway, the logic 7 was a huge improvement over past bimmer stereos. I think it is a must. The driving mechanics were also awesome, although the roads were wet and I couldn't/didn't want to push it much. Cockpit seemed a little smaller than I anticipated, but the back seat room was a bit larger than the e46. Trunk was bigger than the e46 but not as large as it looks from the outside.
In all, a great experience. However, I would NOT get less than 17 inch wheels on this car. The small wheels make the car look terrible. But, take heart, with the sport wheels, the car looks AWESOME.
