I am confused ? is that you car you just tested
and you are waiting on them to release it next weekend?

Or

your car hasn't arrived it yet, and you are just testing one similar to yours?

No matter what, seems like the test drive just reassured you and re-comfort you in your choice/purchase ! Top!


I love it how the front door shuts, the noise it makes sounds supreme! the quality is improved! (not that it was bad before, but now it's just got better ! ) i can shut that door all day long

you have your car already ... how come there is still so much drool by the driver's door??


you might want to update your signature

[iwannabimmer]

When can we expect a full review and detailed impressions of your new ride?

BTW, 77 degrees??? You lucky dog....LOL

[justinnum1]

I will def be giving a full elaborate review after about 500 miles.

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

Good read. Will wait to read more as you get past 500 miles, which should be.....in a few days, right?

You say you are happy with the N20 because of it's power. How about the sound? Is it annoying, easy to live with? Tell me how does the car sound from the inside (without your sound system blasting). And how is that sound system from the ZPS?

Post more pics whenever you can, please. Enjoy!

[Zirenz2006]

Congrats, looks great!

Can you post some night time pics of the interior with both amber and white lighting?

It sounds fine from the inside, i will try and take a video tonight or tomorrow from inside. Its not as quiet or refined as the I6, but its also not as bad as some are making it out to be(imo). The only annoying thing so far has been sometimes the auto start stop thing has a mind of its own at stoplights, but you can just turn that off.
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

Seeing that's the same music I listen to, I'm glad to hear this =) How would you say the bass is at a higher sound level? Still nice and no deformations?
