If so, if I order a 330i at the end of July will it be built in September?
If so, will all the software bugs be worked out by then?
Thanks

:confuse:
2. Comfort Access is keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing the start button for turning on the engine. The key fob already has the all windows down option built in- I think it is press twice and hold down the third time.
Thanks for the help.

If so, where and who is CA?
Thanks

i have attached an ipod in the armrest, all that i required is a small cable you can purchase at best buy,etc for around $6--
then connect it up,select AUX and hit play on the ipod.
it worked great on long trip-
i wish it had the 2005 feature of real ipod integration--not quite sure why they would remove that capability in the e90-
cheers

Yes, it is at the TMS. I'm attending July 31st. If you haven't received an invite yet, call 888-344-4BMW/866-892-4BMW.
Cheers
As to road noise, I don't seem to notice it. Perhaps it's because I'm so concentrated on the fun I'm having at 100 mph! My opinion is that this machine comes into it's own on the highway. Downshifting from 6th to 5th to pass while going up hill is one of the finer pleasures!

I need your help here. I just bought a BMW last month and negotiated to have compass installed for free( I don't have the premium package which includes the compass). Now I was informed that they can not install the compass as my car doesn't have alarm system or another system I forget the name to support the compass. Is that true? I am so depressed to hear this as I am a dummy lady with no sense to the direction at all !!! What shall I do then?
Please help me!
If you're really miffed, get the dealer to give you something else; but be fair. Best of luck.
You can order the compass as a line item from their parts catalog, but like you said, you need the alarm system for it to work (it also needs the rain sensor, but that is stock on the 2006. The good news is that you can line item the alarm system too. It is an additional 300 bucks.
Both items are listed in their accessories catalog on page 24.
It is a irritation for the dealer to make a statement without talking to the service/parts dept. to see if it can be accomplished.
Good luck-
Im going to call BMW CS tomorrow. I know they have all my info cause they contacted me all ready to give opinions on future models after my purchase.

If i were to order a 330i with the sports package, how long do you think the 18 inch run flats will last? How much will it be to replace these tires and what brands are worth getting? Pirelli? Can we order NON-run flats in the future?
Also, I remember reading some posts about the difference between jet black and metallic black. I'm leaning towards jet black because I want a deeper black. However, im worried that the jet black will leave those swirl marks after a little while. Does metallic paint hold its look longer?
Thanks for all your help. I read this forum everyday and its amazing.
You could always get retreads :surprise:

If you have any further questions, please respond to this e-mail or contact the Customer Relations and Services Department at 1-800-831-1117, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time. Again, thank you for contacting BMW.
Sincerely,
Then again I will be one of very few owners who does not have power seats (I will be the only one driving the car.) I think the best bang for the buck is base + ZSP. If I wanted a moving sofa, I would get a lexus!
All of my friend who drove the car say "...and the leather is very nice..." and then I say to them "...well, its not exactly leather " It’s not only me – many people simply cant feel the difference
Hm-hm.
dl7265: Am I ready to trade my Prelude in? It is funny you should ask. The rational side (read: cheap) side of me says that the Prelude is paid for, it is only a few hundred shy of 50K miles, still drives great, and looks wonderful (I run it through a great car wash once every 2 weeks or so). I still get people asking me if my car is an '04 or even an '05. I tell them Prelude production stopped in November 2001 and they look at me in disbelief.
I was planning on keeping the Prelude for another year to do ED next July. But I've been thinking lately how much I love cars in general and especially BMWs. I do a decent amount of driving (20K miles per year), work 6 days a week starting at 7:30AM, and realize that you only do go around once and you never know when your time will be up. The payments will be a slight stretch for me, but I know I won't regret it. So I'm going to see if I can get a $1000 over invoice deal on an '06 325i with a stick, SP, Hot Seats, Sirius, and metallic paint. I'll kepp you guys in the loop.

Do the manual sport seats have all the same adjustments as the power sports? I am debating on power seats due to this. Thanks-
(I'm a leatherette man too- and no, you'll never hear me speak that sentence in public) :P
psyran
Must be in the 1% because the ette feels like rubber to me. Way too grippy.
manual seats have about half the adjustments. i loathe the manual seats though...it's one of the elements that turned me off to the e46 325i.
NY: if you can do the ED go for it. I really regret i could not this time . Like you im racking up the miles on my Bimmer. The cost savings would help me equal out on the end side,then again didnt i buy it to drive it?
Blue: your right there is a slight rubber feel. ok by me. My last Leather/Sport car side bolsters wore thin way too quick for my taste. When i saw my friends E36 with "ette i was amazed how it looked perfect after 170K Miles !
DL
Then manual sports seats in my E46 are 10 way adjustable. I imagine they are the same in the E90, but others can better answer that question.
"So why am I even responding?", he asked himself, rhetorically.
Another consideration is the breathability of leather in those hot summer months.
I just ordered a new 330i yesterday. I expect to take delivery on Sep. 1. I'll post my gas mileage and initial impressions after living with it for a few months. My wife will primarily use the car for commuting to/from work, approx 60 highway miles per day (though there is some traffic to contend with). Anyway, I'm hoping for an average mpg in high 20s.
Thanks.
