Where on earth did you get that other version from?
Guru....thanks for the offer of the tshirt. You are a true gentleman. But I figured it was up to BMWNA to actually do something. After sending a letter to the President (Mr. Purves), I finally got somebody to agree that I was not treated very well.
Anyway, my vehicle is finally with the carrier (may even be at the dealer by today). So, I will be driving my new BMW next week! FINALLY!!!!
unboringuy: Actually, I did order xenon with my car. I just forgot to include it in my description to guru. Mine will have a black interior. What about yours? I saw another person in my building with a 325 Ci, jet black/black, with SP, PP, 5 spd, that looked so sporty and cool, that I could not resist getting the same looking package for the 330 xi.
Another month??? Brutal!!!
Any suggestions?
I really want to avoid getting a "big" CD player to sit somewhere in the car. Of course an mp3 play back CD player would hold a staggering amount of music, but with the factory stereo already playing CD-Rs, it's purpose would be solely mp3 use. Your Sony Walkman is exactly the one I've been considering. They're selling on eBay for under $200 (guess they've been discontinued) and so are 128Mb memory sticks. If I can get on, especially with a 128 magic gate card, that would likely be my ideal. I found my JVC modulator on eBay for 39.99, the company regularly sells them for 49.99 anyway. I'll let you'll know which way I end up going.

No more wear and tear will be done when you shift in Manual mode. Think about it: nothing is different EXCEPT the fact that YOU are telling the tranny when to shift versus the program telling it when to shift. Zero difference.
Also, I wouldn't worry too much about using the cruise during stretched of the break-in. The engine was probably at a perfectly constant speed for no more than 10% of the initial 1,200 miles. Normal driving takes care of the variations needed automatically.
I can't wait until break-in is complete. The 2.5 is so free-revving that it's even more difficult to keep under 4,500 rpm than the step. It seems like you engage the clutch and ZOOM -- you already need to shift to 2nd! My wife is out in it right now -- can't wait until she gets back so we can have a little fun...
Given that the Z3 is lighter and has a manual tranny, it probably feels comparable in pick-up to your step 330i. Yes? No?
um... Bonecrusher Belle? :-)
I can't wait to hear what you come up with!
Thanks

Is there a better radar option for the 3 series - particularly one hidden from view?
Thanks in advance

If I can get Yuengling Lager down there, I'm on my way! ;-)
Well, the wife is out in the Z3 once again, so I guess that means I should go mow the lawn.
I've never heard of Yuengling Lager, but I'll check for it at Central Market next time I go.
The Valentine 1 is the best radar detecter there is...why would you want to put anything else in?
Thanks alot.
I'd like to know how I would track it. I hear people talking about the status of the car but I have no idea where I would go to track that.
I know it will be produced week 30. I don't know what that means.
Thank you
Josh
If you want even more storage, check out the Creative Labs Nomad Jukebox. It comes with a 6GB hard drive (but is still the same size as a CD player), so it can hold a *ton* of music. I'm not sure if it has a remote, though.
The phone number for BMWNA is 800-831-1117.
The URL for BMWNA is http://www.bmwusa.com/
Go to Owner's Circle and sign up.
Production week tells you the approximate week of the year that your car will go into production. In your case, your car should go into production in the week of 7/23.

Now I'm faced with a bit of a conundrum... I honestly prefer the styling of the 2001 330i to the 2002. I also know that I could probably have a 2001 in my grubby mitts by September for the standard discount of $1500-1600 over invoice, but I'm assuming there may not be deals on the 2002 until Christmas or next year even. So part of the equation comes down to standard equipment and whether or not it changes for 2002. I tried to download the PDF file linked on Bimmer.org but it only lists equipment packages for the 5er and Z8. Anyone know what changes we'll see on standard equipment and/or pricing for 2002?
- In-dash CD will be standard (replacing current cassette) Yay!!!
- Xenon headlight option consists of bi-xenons (high and low beams) vs. current low-beam only
- Sport package will include clear lenses and the M3 steering wheel (common upgrades for owners of '01 cars desiring a sportier look)
- Rear side airbags will be standard
- Run-flat tires will be optional on 330i (but not available with Sport Package)
- 325 with Sport Package gets new wheel styling
- Natural Brown leather replaces Tanin Red leather as an option
- Electric Red replaces Bright Red as an exterior color
- Light Yellow Metallic and Sienna Red are phased out as exterior colors
Probably more that I missed out on. Note that there is no word on pricing yet, although I doubt that base prices will increase given the competitive market pressures. All this is great for the consumer.
One tint place recommended Hanita cold steel 70%. The tint darkening effect is minimal and supposedly provides excellent blockage of infrared radiation.
Does anyone have experience with this product or general tinting recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
then click the new 7 series.
It certainly will have much influence and set the direction for the 2002 and future 3 series.
02 changes: i like the option changes, but not the new nose, ill be keeping the '99 for a while now .
Regards,
DL
Official BMW photos were just released this week, as was the order sheet. Brochures are probably still 1-2 months out.
Given that the order sheets are available, you can probably place an order for an '02. Final pricing will have to wait until the numbers are released. (I suppose though that you could place an order at MSRP, or some fixed amount over dealer invoice, if the dealer is willing.)
Also, how do you guys post pix here? Can't find the attachment button.
Hope this helps.
