There you have it, I am a phony.

Your not a loser, you just might be one of the first to get the 335i's or even the upcoming E90 coupe!

It's hard to justify getting rid of the G but a new E90 sure is attractive. This is post #1 for me. How many more will it take before I take the plunge?

1 more?

"I gone dunnit!!"?

I dont have a BMW either.

[Nikki]

I just have way too many posts in general

[3aficionado]

For those that aren't e90 owners yet, when do you plan to buy one? Or are there plans to buy at all?

Personally, I have numerous friends with e90's & drive them whenever they let me. My plan has always been to get an e92 (335) or M3. So I will be buying within the year if the 335 is powerful enough and if we actually hear something on the coupes in my lifetime

I will wait the specs of the 335i (E91) and will probably trade my Audi S3 for it by the end of '06

Ordering in october 2006, lease for recent car runs out december 16th 2006. Long way to go...

[jaro]

don't own one but just might drop my Cayenne S for a 335 if I like what I hear when that DAMN THING is finally unvealed! If I do not then will go with a 530/550..

[Ohio325iGuy]

I'm graduating from college in May, and hope to be making the purchase of an E90 soon thereafter. I bounce around week to week about what car I want next, but the only cars that I really stick with are the E90 and Saab 9-3. Now that Saab has made it where you have to get the V6 to get navigation or anything, they are off my list... I will not own a "V" style engine. (well maybe a V12 )

My plan is to purchase a new sports sedan after I sell my Mustang GT late spring/early summer. It’s pretty tough to sell a Mustang GT in Chicago during the winter. After that, I will likely purchase one of these cars:

E90 w/ ZSP
E46 w/ ZHP
Infiniti G35
Audi A4 2.0T w/ S line package and chip it
Subaru Legacy GT and chip it
Dodge Charger SRT-8 (least likely)

I am coming from an unrefined raw powered Mustang GT. It’s super fun to drive straight, but lacks refinement big time. It’s actually decent on the curves because of my suspension modifications. I have a young child and another one on the way so I want four doors. However, I don’t want to give up driving a fun car. Fuel economy is also slightly more important to me that it used to be.

I’ve been to the drag strip many times with my mustang, but I don’t plan on doing so with the new car. I just want something that has ample “useable” power on the street without having to rev the heck out of the engine. It appears the 330i makes decent power, however, it’s pretty high in the rpm band. The G35 made great power down low and in the mid-range, but I’m not hung up the exterior. Obviously the Charger SRT-8 would be a blast, but I’m not crazy about getting 12-14 mpg all time. I want power and luxury for $40K. Not too many cars fit in this category.

Infiniti is going to unveil the 2007 G35 this spring and I’d like to wait to check that one out. I have a feeling the BMW 335 will be too expensive if it becomes a reality.

I owned a Legacy GT for three months...the seat finally killed my back so I got rid of it. The power is nice - in winter..in a hot summer it's sluggish. You can chip it to about 300hp with Cobb stuff. The mileage with the AT and unchipped was pretty bad...I can imagine chipped it would be worse...The suspension needs work and the stock tires were terrible. It has lots of amenities, but for the money you would need to spend to get it up to performance level you may as well get a 330i with ZSP.

One thing for sure, I was surprise that I haven’t ordered mine yet. I guess I just envy those driving their E90.

I stongly disagree. I though for along time that Lexus (new) IS is car for me and even had $1k deposit on it... untill I tried one. Car is sort of personal accessory, so you can not take one with eyes closed.

Having said that, if you're looking for 335i, it is no point to try 330i.

I know this is pretty trivial, but SilverStreak over at bimmerforums got a 14.008 at 97.49 mph with his bone stock ZHP at Atco Raceway. But I'm not SilverStreak I'd probably run like a 15+

[wstrohm]

Me too. I'm still trying to figure out whether I want a straight 6 whose cylinders 4, 5, and 6 are in the passenger compartment.

What happened after 20 seconds?

I once saw a guy prang an MR2 turning onto the street out of the lot--he floored it and lost the back end into a parked car.
