Anyway, you're wrong. The F30 series is a much better car. I'll have no arguments as I am unanimous in my opinion.

At our last autox, a guy with a bone stock e46 330xi was absolutely slaying folks with full track setups. There's definitely something to be said for AWD. Whilst I do like the exterior of the e92, the interior is the regrettably the same ergonomic mess as the e90. Thanks, though. |

Hmmm, I dont know how to really help in your situation as far as concerns go for the German electronics.
You sound like you really love the F30 design, so Ill put it this way. Build an F335i M sport with a 6 speed manual, dont get all the options or bells or whistles. Do the m adaptive suspension and steering for track purposes. Do a basic build that way youre not too worried about all the technology go wrong. Im not sure about your saddle brown interior if its available with M sport, I know those packages can get stupid with whats available with what. I think sticking to the m sport the car will definetely age better, because you plan on keeping it for a long time. Good luck with your decision.

OP stated he doesn't like the e90/92, the interior and overall design of the car was what kept him in his e46.

The E90 is merely the mistake between the E46 and the F30. BJ |

My mom has an e90 335i, my friend has an e46 M3, and I have an f30 335i.
The e90 and e46 are so much harsher compared to my f30. Yes, they are probably a little sharper around the curves, but not by much. I think the f30 is the best all-around car. Both my mom and friend agree, after driving in my car, that they would trade theirs for mine in a heartbeat. And that's coming from a guy with an M3! He hates how he has no low end torque... |

You mean the engine that propels my F30 Luxury faster than my E90 M-Sport?
Just fine, thank you. Only enthusiasts care about cylinders. Eliteists don't even know what they are. I learned about them last year while watching the British guys on Wheeler Dealers who buy used and out-of-style cars like the E92 from old guys for £7,000 and sell them to teenagers for £7,250. BJ |

And the F30 328i Lexus line is owned by who? Middle aged men with ED most likely. Anyways don't want to fight. I want to thank you kind sir. BMW depend on customers like you to buy lots of their average cars so that they can keep developing great machines for the enthusiasts

You have to start getting some new pics BJ I mean I chuckled the 1st time I saw one but you keep throwing up the same pic. Is it saved to your comp at just a copy and paste with the mouse right click left lick action or what? lol

It wasn't a mistake it was merely an evolution process, besides you owned one so you made the same mistake with the rest of us then.

Most of the electronics in the F30 are Japanese. I know for sure that the Nav and Stereo(uk base and us base) are japanese. Alpine - Luxman produces them. If you look in your BMW manual pouch theres a bunch of Alpine Electronics disclaimers for FCC radio stuff and more.

Man,
I had an e36 M3, now I am on my second e90, IMO the brand has gotten a bit soft, but I have learned to love my e90. I will probably get the F30 in the spring, but going straight from an e46 the F30 will feel like a boat. Seems like you are a driver, and you love to feel the road and the dynamics of the road/car, some of the hesitation you have is completely legit, the experience you have will be different in the new car. "Not all bad" when I drive our new X5 it puts a smile on my face, very smooth, great feel, very fun, but I need a planted car with a manual as my DD. I think if I were you, and I knew that the e46 was going to last and not need major repair work, I would keep it, and wait to see what else BMW has to offer. I am really hoping this M2 is going to happen, I would buy one yesterday if that were the case.....have you seen the renders? Last edited by seis-speed; 11-05-2012 at 02:07 PM.. |
