Here's a quick quote: "The 2006 BMW 330i is perfect."

F32Fleet · 02-03-2006, 07:46 AM

Geez..they don't even have 2k miles on the car.

Notice how they didn't get I-Drive?

jmatero · 02-03-2006, 08:02 AM

...If they did, it wouldn't be perfect....

...just kidding

I can resonate with this article. Mine has 3200 miles on it.

shuzmaker · 02-03-2006, 02:10 PM

nice...

"...Is the all-new 2006 BMW 3 Series the final evolution of the sport sedan? Is it the best four-door conveyance in a market already bursting with near perfect cars? As automotive journalists we're not allowed to make such extreme statements as "the 2006 BMW 330i is perfect." That would be unprofessional. That would show a lack of critical analysis. After all, no vehicle is truly perfect, right?

Except for this one. The 2006 BMW 330i is perfect. Go ahead and revoke our automotive journalist license…just leave us the car!..."

I am really liking the pic of their car.

The car looks nice at that angle.

docbolo · 02-03-2006, 02:47 PM

nice that they have the balls to declare what we all know: E90 is the perfect car. period.

DTM · 02-03-2006, 03:40 PM

"Among the items included in the Premium Package is a Bluetooth system that can "pair" with a Bluetooth-enabled phone. Karl tried out this technology for the first time in our long-term 3 Series and was immediately smitten. "OK, I officially love Bluetooth. It's easy to set up, and it makes using a phone while driving a seamless activity. Better still, it provides exceptional voice quality. I could hear the person on the other end of the line clearly through the 3 Series' audio system, and they consistently told me that I sounded great. No bulky, geeky headset required."

At least one person has seamless setup.

Actually, I think they'll soon be ranting about BT not pairing well, aluminum trim causing easy scratches, CIP update crashing, passenger side airbag light not going off, run flats sliding everywhere, rain sensing wipers not working for &$^#, etc etc.

I've never had issues with my Bluetooth. Mine came off the Boat 9/20/05 so I'm not sure which version CIP i have, but it's never been an issue. Just got partial updates on some of my systems too to enable autolocking doors when I drive off. Bluetooth was reset but still have no problems.

That pic does looks great.

I also liked the pics of the silver 330i they used from the IS350 comparo. Obviously Euro spec headlights would increase the good-looking factor significantly.

petefalzzz · 02-03-2006, 08:04 PM

I liked this quote:
"Every 3 Series I've driven feels like a destination, whereas every C-Class has felt like it was built for the guy who can't swing an E-Class, but wants the three-pointed star. A C-Class feels like a transitional step to the destination, but the 3 is the destination"

:rocks:
