330xi LOADED!!!!!

How about RDS (radio station names, name of song current playing for both radio and CDs)? Is yours working?

DerekS · 10-21-2005, 04:46 PM

Congrats on your new 330Xi. For those who have commented on the 158 wheels, let me say that they look much better in real life than in photos.They are better looking on the car than the stock 159s that come with the non-sport 330i.
I have 158s mounted with Dunlop M3 snows on my 330i sport. The car ride is much more compliant with the 17" wheel/tire combo.

Whatever, I can't wait therefore to get my snowplow/truck/sled/WRX wannabe whatever E90 BMW friggin; piece of art that's going to carve up the country roads here this winter!!!

Beamer06 go away you salacious little jealous muck muck!!

Great looking car! I ordered TiAg as well. I think it really shows the lines of the e90.

Yes, all the names show up on both cd,radio, and mp3's. I will try to take some pictures of as soon as wife returns with the car. She's been gone for 2 days, I'm sure she'll come back at some point

hey, is that the Burl wood? If so, cuz thats what it looks like, that is the first pic that i have seen posted that i actually like. I ordered mine like that but after looking at all the pics, it looked as though the popular wood was a better option, and it would look cleaner. I was about to change to the popular wood, but im not sure now. Can you post more pics of the interior? All the pics that i see are always so different. And there are none at the dealership in my area to see. Good looking car. Also, this is one of the first pics of the xi sport rims. Not too sure if i dig them, i have on order the 18's, but i may just change the order to stick with what you have, cuz i dont want to have to buy tires and what not.

Thumpzilla · 10-22-2005, 09:03 PM

It is Burl Walnut, I had it in my 323 so i kind of knew what I was getting. I went to 3 dealers to take a look at interiors and this combo did it for me. I also have a friend with a 330i popular/wblack leather and didn't like as much, seemed too...orange? But that's just my opinion. I'll try to take some more, I had these left from the first batch.

Actually you are wrong. It drives exactly like a BMW is supposed to. It's a RWD car until a wheel slips at a different rate than the other 3, then AWD engages.. That's the whole plan, silly rabbit!

Now run along...

Anyway I LOVE the wheels. I didn't think I would, and now I am thinking about adding them to my wagon...hmmmmm

Nice car. I ordered my 330xi 2 weeks ago. Should be here in another 4 more weeks. Does it sit only 0.2" higher compared to the i or is it 0.7" higher? Just curious. Thanks for the photos.
