i hate e90 !! or so i thought
Actually kind of. You can see what i drive in my sig.
I ordered 6 months ago a 330i , with xenons and advanced ac, and nothing else (they dont even come with leather in bulgaria). And surely enough the car really sucked, i mean performance wise it was ok, but the sterring wheels was not communicative, the tyres have bad grip (16` 225 tyres).... Overall i thought it was a pants car especially sitting down from an m3. Anyways today i got to the dealer to test drive a 650i which i plan to order soon, and believe it or not they had a demo 330XD. M-sports pack/leather/navigation/pdc/bluetooth/19` alloys, non run-flat slicks, i mean the WORKS. So i thought, might just as well go for a ride in another car . First of all on the inside, it feels so much better than the cheap plastic/fabric combo i have. Leather is nice, smells nice even. The wood is ok, similar to the x5. Pro NAV gives the car a more up-market edge. Overall on the inside its really nice. Then i grab the wheel.. nice much better on the touch, more responsive, i like. Comfort Access ... OMG dont have it on any of my cars.. im in love. Start the engine... 231bhp diesel part sounds nice. Feels quite strong in the low range. Overall this drive was absolutely amazing, grip was phenomenal (dont forget X-drive), turn in is brutal, the steering wheel is very communicative and much better to hold. And that engine is a star, revs hard, accelerates hard. Also out of interest does the m-pack give you better brakes , because on the 330xd i experienced no fade during hard braking ?? OH and if anyone wants to know , the 650i is a MONSTER, and soudns like a NASCAR lesson of the story is dont bash a car , unless you had to sample it in its best light. Since i am seeling the 330i i would love to get a nicely specced one , and i am sure it would be much better to live with . But i have set my mind on either a 650i / CLS63AMG

i know different cars, but the ///m5/6 isnt for me so the next best thing is the 650i
cls 63 amg is 517bhp ... and costs a bomb but whichever one it is im gonna lease it so no worries
