My Impressions, Review, Whatever
There isn't a general "this is what I think" thread... but I wanted to point a few things out since I just rolled past 400 miles.

Grats on enjoying your babe, she looks very nice.
* Alpineweiss > EBII :P * whats grunt down? * Hill assist can be turned off by coding, but I think it has its uses. (I'd have to lose limbs before driving AT) * You can't turn the wipers 'on' by default as too many people would forget to turn them 'off' in a carwash (read as "dumb rednecks would sue) * the mirrors can be coded to fold with your key from a distance. * Default sport mode is the holy grail, many coders died trying to grasp it |

Alpine white was my second choice... with cinnamon interior
I meant "grunt, down low" as in it has plenty of power in the lower RPM range. In my E46 325, if I came out of a turn in 3rd at 1500rpm the car would just bog down. |

"My M-Perf brakes squeal slightly at slower speeds."
I have that too . I'm at 600 miles. People say it goes away.

You can play it down all you want, but its a huge difference.
Two weeks and the wheels have a light cover of dust. Not black soot covering them and from a distance the wheels still look silver. I don't go beyond 2 weeks because I like a clean car. And after 3 years the interior of the wheel (part you don't bother cleaning) still shows silver. I clean mine about once every 3-4 months just to shine them up. I can tell you from my E46 and E36 M3 that this E90 brake situation is a huge plus for me. Not having to deal with constantly black wheels. |

The E46 is like two hours. Not even kidding. I went about two months without cleaning mine once and someone asked me why I painted my front wheels black but my rear ones a dark gray.

I suppose wheel wax is a must for the F30 MSports. The 403M 19" wheels will hide a bit of the dust since it has gray interior, but they'll still need to be cleaned regularly or will look horrible after a year or so. I'm hoping wheel wax will allow in between cleanings to be simple. |

Luckily it didn't do that. Although that does explain the dots on my mom's car.

They are said to be "more aggressive". I think that means, MORE dust. I wish BMW would have tuned Msport brakes to have better feel on initial engagement. My 135i and E46 325i had much better brake pedal feel with less pedal travel to initial bite, and less travel under brake modulation. The brakes are good, they get the job done, but the overall feel has become less "sport" like and more "sedan" like. |

Checking Realoem, it looks like BMW used the same brake setup on all 335i E9x cars. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...57&hg=34&fg=05 |
