I test drove a 330i Sports/Premium/Manual the very first day the e90 was available. I didn't like it at all and fell well below my expectations. I immediately posted a few messages saying BMW had made this car more of a luxury drive than a sporty drive.

After reading (and rereading) many glowing posts, I recently test drove the same car again and LOVED it!

I really babied the car in my first drive because it only had 7 miles on it. I don't know if that was it or what it was, but this time it felt absolutely fabulous.

I even test drove a new 2005 M3 right before so I would have a fresh comparison.

The 2006 330i is a bute! So I apologize for the negative remarks and I placed my order. It won't arrive until October because of the options and color, but I can't get the car until then anyway.

330i / Manual Tranny
Mystic Blue/Grey/Walnut
Premium/Sports/Cold Weather
Navigation/Comfort Access

My last gripe, however, is the color selection stinks!!

No kidding. I would have selected something besides Mystic Blue...

Congrats on your order and coming to your senses!

I was looking at almost the same options. So October is the earliest cars with Comfort Access will be arriving?

Where you able to negotiate much off of MSRP? I am wondering if waiting a couple more months before placing an order will allow more negotiation on price. But at the same time, I really want to get this car before winter comes

You may be able to get a car in September with Comfort Access, but I'm not sure. I HAVE TO wait until October so I don't know anything about earlier deliveries. I put down my deposit for no other reason than I was happy with the price. The dealer isn't even going to place my order with BMW until August. I got $1000 over invoice...at least according to a pdf someone posted here on bimmerfest with the invoice prices.

That's why I went with '05 Silver Gray. Congrats on your order!
