Some PICS of 330Xi Delivery at BMW Spartanburg

BMerDRMer · 03-01-2006, 10:35 AM

I had promised a few PICS of our 330Xi delivery in Spartanburg (2/13/06). Only way to go (unless you are using European Delivery!), if you have time!

For those with more experience at this ...... how do I post larger pics than the small profiles generated with this posting??

MoreCowbell · 03-01-2006, 10:51 AM

What type of activities did they have for you?

Lost Rider · 03-01-2006, 10:56 AM

Very nice.

BMerDRMer · 03-01-2006, 11:04 AM

A little classroom, shorttrack slalom (laps), braking exercise, skippad and DSC experience, museum tour, (normally plant tour), 2 hour love in with your car in a glass booth ........ free nights stay, free dinner breakfast and lunch, long drive home through the mountains ....... great time!

Fantastic ....... On all accounts ........ I studied the xi vs i issues quite a bit ....... After tracking the 330i at the PCenter and then driving this one home ........ I really can't tell the difference in driving characteristics ....... Just an added margin of safety.

Car is so solid ...... not a rattle or a squeek ...... still lookin for a little more growl, which I thought I remebered from several previous test drives.. but haven't spent much time yet above 4500 rpm .... they say it needs a few more miles.

Drove Audi several times, strongly prefer handling and feel of the BMW myself ....... Drove all other comers as well ..... really pleased with decision .......

No just took em straight up .....They are 320 by 240 jpegs taken on Sony CD based Mavica. Camera creates 1 high res, and 1 emial shot and records straight to disc. Slow but convenient.

I thought there may be a way to tweak the frame size on the website .........??

That sounds terrific!

I have also heard that the growl will pick up a bit down the road. Oooooohh I am supposed to pick mine up tomorrow...

Looks great! What wheels did you get for the winter season? I recall you saying from a previous thread that you put on winter wheels/tires for your drive back to cleveland...

davinet78 · 03-02-2006, 04:06 AM

320 x 240 is a pretty small image - exactly what we see in your post. If you have them in a larger size you can upload them, but you can't 'enlarge' them here (and if you could you would lose a lot of quality).

Congrats on your new car! I might have to consider that delivery method for my next BMW!

Hmmm, somehow I thought Image Density and size were unrelated except for resultant quality ........ I will test one of the 1.2 MP images and see what results.

Doesn't ..... site won't accept 1.2 MPixel Image ..... to large........oh well.

LEDZEP · 03-02-2006, 09:23 AM

I usually resize mine to 1000 x ? based on the larger side of the image. That's about all most people's browsers will tolerate anyway.
