Glad to hear, was kind of afraid it would be similar as with my current car (although that's no HK), which is nice sounding but surely not enough to pump it a bit from time to time =)

The sound is different than an I6(i owned N54s and N52s) not in a bad way, just different. its got signficantly more power at lower rpms(have not revd the shit out of it yet) but you probably wont need to go past 6k

The ZPS is great, crisp highs, nice lows, i have to play with the equilizer and tweak it to my preferences(mostly dance/techno) but i am happy with it, worth the 950 imo.

From outside the engine sounds a little funny, but you cant really tell when sitting in it. The performance and efficiency more than make up for the sound of the engine imo.


^and i will get those pics later of the ambient lighting
With a moderate volume of music you can't hear the sound from the engine, right?

drove to boca and back today(bout 70 miles)
-car is very smooth on the highway.
-passive suspension is very nice, reminds me a lot of the suspension in my N54 e90
-at night, (i dont have premeium) the lights in the rearview mirror is kind of annoying but im thinking some dark tinit on the rear window will solve this issue
-car is very powerful, def happy i went with the N20. to get the 335 it would ave cost me prob another 6K.(leather, sport, sport auto, ZPS...)
-cruise control works very nice(tho i am used to audio controls on left side of wheel)
-interieor looks and feels nicer than the e90
-i like that i can put the car in eco mode and get close to 40mpg, but if i need to get it sporty, i can put it in sport+ and hot damn!
-idrive is more confisuing than i want but i just need to get used to it, in non nav, the joy stick only moves left and right(still twists/scrolls), just different.
-the white sport led feature is very nice and classy, oragne is cool to but i left it on white
-ton of info in the idrive, i can see how to change a halogen bulb thru the idrive...Cool!
-still playing around with it and getting my setting how i like them.

-the engine off at a stop is a little weird and has a mind of its own, sometimes it will kick in without me taking my foot off the gas or moving the wheel
-also i am noticing a slight vibration in the steering wheel at speeds above 50+...probably just a tire/wheel balancing issue, will take it in next week for them to check it out
Could you post some pics whit white interior light turned on, would love to see how it looks. I think it will look good with white lights at night, what do you think?

Thanks for the pics. Is the light from the led strip along door bright? That last pic is great, looks really good in mineral grey.

lol I forgot about the time difference.. afternoon only just started here

Yeah but this wait experience is a part I'm not so good with. I'm very impatient when it comes to these things lol, I live in Hawaii for several years now but that still didn't leave me yet lol

It's one thing I don't like much to the US indeed, all those straight roads. It's what I love about Europe, old winding roads

There are plenty of great roads in the US. Just not in flat florida, where everything is a str8 line, everything. There are some epic roads in greenwich, CT and pound ridge NY.

Not to mention California. We've got great roads, folks. Mountains and canyons aplenty. Close by, too.

Oh, and beautiful car, Justinnum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys complain about living in Hawaii and Florida?

At least you both have nice warm weather most of the year. I wish I had that.

Well, tbh, I have mixed feelings about it... always sun gets boring too, you know. Seeing pictures of my old country in the snow sure makes me feel a bit homesick, sometimes I do miss having seasons BUT at the same time, when it rains for a few days here, I'm sick of that again too so guess it's not so bad here xD

But hey, we're only human (and Dutch, which makes the complaining worse lol).. where ever one lives, there's always something to complain about

It's a beauty.

You've got halogen head lights, correct?
Could you post a picture with the lights on?
Thx.
