And you haven't driven a FWD car since, what, 1978?
Hmmm, how about a Mini Cooper? I'm thinking at least 5. ;-)

I believe you are the only person I have ever heard or read saying they did not like the look of the E46 with ZHP or M package.
To many, this is perhaps the nicest looking Bimmer ever made so far. For me it is!
It's a pity you feel that way about your car but I can tell you this car turns heads big time!

I got a view of which heads my ZHP turns...all the wrong ones.

Also, would getting aftermarket 18" wheels and tires possibly void the warranty on brakes, rotors, etc.? Any experiences?
Thanks,
Luke
Does it cost anything at the dealer?

1.For whatever reason a person dislikes the styling of the BMW. They may not have driven the car and have formed an opinion on the styling without the test drive. Well that is their perogative, but methinks one might be missing out on something.
2. They have driven the car and are unimpressed. Almost every independent review gives it a thumbs up, so the persons opinion, while certainly valid is in the minority.
3. They might have driven the G35 and mistaken the sweet spot of the rpm for the precision and smoothness the BMW gives.
4. They might dislike BMW just because.
At any rate, there is certainly a few choices to be had.
At least it's better to have too many choices than not enough, right?
I've been waiting for the release since november 04 when I was more than ready to purchase a car. I've been getting different information from all different sources regarding the release date. I have contacted the corporate headquarters and was told it should be ready to order in Aug 2005. Dealership is telling me sometime next year. Web sites have been posting sometime next year. Do you have a reliable source providing the release date? I am getting frustrated and looking into other options now, since I will not wait another year to get rid of my temp. car I have been driving~ Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
New coupe out next spring/summer at earliest.. more likely next Fall (of '06).

As for the nets..no idea and I'd never allow anyone to use them anyway. Nothing is allowed to be stored in my car.
So that they don't have to keep asking "are we there yet" for the upteenth time...
You got to put some magazines in there to keep the people in the rear entertained.

I'd sooner die than allow a magazine to reside in my car. I've had friends and family ask if I really use the car because there's nothing in the interior beyond CDs stored in the driver's door bin. :shades:
I don't know for a fact if it will change, but silver is a classic color in any manufucturer's lineup. If the color was to change, they wouldn't do it so close to a major transition. (It didn't for the 04-05 e45 sedan nor for the e90 sedan limited color lineup.)
So what does this all mean...I will be ordering my 325 when the comfort access option becomes available..can't wait.!!!
Now about the storage nets. I don’t know what dealer you talked to but when I talked to my dealer about this I actually saw how the service guy pulled on the computer screen the back part of a seat with the net and ordered it. It is really a part of a seat, not the entire seat. I think that the plastic back of your front seats simply detaches from the seat itself. Maybe it is attached on some hooks or on velcro or something like that. I am not 100% sure. But I saw that it is in fact a separate part.

About the storage nets, I'll wait for my dealer's call to see if indeed he may be able to install these as a separate part and if not, I'll tell him about your experience. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the info.
If you go to your Preferences (upper left) you'll find a check box to "Display Emotorcons." Check it, click Set Preference (at the bottom of the page) - you'll see the Emotorcons beneath the post box, including the little shades car.
It is supposed to be on for everyone by default, but there is some bug on the loose that turns it off for some seemingly at random.
Today is the first day I’ve seen one on the road. Totally blew me away, what a gorgeous car. The rear does not look anything like the prev-gen maxima.
It was a silver 325 (not sure of rims).
Too bad I’m nhot in the market.
