    Questions about 328i

    welcome aboard. First the floor mats. Since it is a used car, you are at the mercy of the dealership. Otherwise you can purchase a set for around $130 bucks on line. As far as the tires go, there is no spare. The orginal tires were run flats. Meaning that when there is a loss of air pressure...

    Floor Mats?

    grrr... Thanks for all of the input. I think that I am too far into ownership to give the car back as Big Daddy suggests, and I'm not sure that a lawyer is necessary over $110 floor mats. Still it grinds a nerve. The car will be returning to the dealership this week or next to have the sat radio...

    Floor Mats?

    Question... I just bought a new '08 335i with the following packages and accesories. Premium Package, Sport Package, Cold Weather Package, Auto Tranny, Ipod/USB Interface, and Sat Radio. The dealer told me that I didn't specify floor mats, and that they are not standard equipment. Is this normal...

    '08 335i

    I was thinking about placing this post in the E-90 section, but I think that my question will cover most models. I have noticed that I must have the ignition on in order for the Universal door opener <Home Link Garage Door Openers> to function. This is fine and dandy when coming home, and the...

    finally did it

    After months of asking silly questions, I took delivery of a new '08 335i equipped with premium, sport, and cold weather packages. In addition it has the USB/iPod interface, and Comfort Access. The color is Titainium Silver. The weather has turned to the nasty side here in the Mid-West, so there...

    Logic 7 in 3 series

    BMW is now charging a $875.00 premium for the "Logic7 sound system with Surround Sound and Digital Sound Processing" I am opting for the Satellite Radio, and thinking hard about the HD radio option as well. My question is how good is the stock sound system vs the upgrade? In the 08's I think...

    new car break-in

    There are several theroists that say that there is no need to run premium in a normal car. I know that BMW is not the normal car, as in the departure from the major US brands and designed to run on the higher octane fuel. For me, it's more of a matter of oil companies corporate greed, and not...

    new car break-in

    I am planning on purchasing either a 135, or a 335 <depending on which I can get the better deal on> and taking advantage of the ultimate delivery program. I plan on picking the car up from the South Carolina plant, and touring the south east afterwards. We will attempt to stay off of the...

    Passed by a Lambo & a Maserati

    There is a reason that the Bi-Turbo just sits there [confused]

    The Ultimate Delivery Program

    If I am not mistaken, they actually ship the car back to the states at no charge as well. Well, it's all part of the delivery fee that is charged no matter what. But Kirby is correct, we are planning on flying to South Carolina, to pick it up, then tour the South East prior to returning home...

    The Ultimate Delivery Program

    I have not contacted a dealer at this point, I am still in the planning stages of ordering a vehicle. The vehicle will be a 135i coupe. Has anyone participated in the ultimate delivery program here in the US? How far in advance do I need to start the ordering process? I would like to hear...

    well my friends...

    My ultimate 135 is leatherette, comfort access, sport package, and power seats. This keeps the price tag down to around $38,000 us. Once the price tag hits $40,000 I think that it would make more economical sense to get the 335. I have a date to drive the 135 in July for the ultimate drive. I...

    Saleen S5S Raptor

    I just read about this in one of the car rags. It seems that Steve Saleen has packed his bags, and is no longer in command of Saleen motors. This car is the first release since the change. Unlike the S7, which is a slightly detuned race car. This car is actually made to be a more civilized...
