Miss my E90

JeM9 · 09-16-2014, 06:24 PM

Cheating on my girl tonight. Dropped her off for service and was loaned an F30 for the night... So far I'm not a fan of the stereo system or simple look of the interior. However, this thang is fast!

Same here--dropped it off yesterday morning. Get this, I was loaned a brand new X4. In Melbourne Red Metallic.

....and....I like it.

They loaned you an X4?! I haven't even seen one on the road yet. Lucky you

galahad05 · 09-16-2014, 07:48 PM

My service advisor loves me. I swear I probably personally made him a manager there, with all the business I bring in.

And that X4 is pretty bad-ass in its way.

Pardon my amazingly fuzzy pictures. I R BAD at photography.

Which F30 did you get? 320? 328? 335? The 320 isn't too shabby. The 328 though is pretty darn quick! Hits 60 in the mid-high 5s range!

I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the F30 328 when I got one as a loaner, but I received a later model F30 320 and the biggest issue I had with it, the steering, was much better to the point where I could see myself being happy with one later down the road.

The interiors are also better on models that are higher-spec (sport line, luxury line, etc.) not sure if you got a base model one or what. The F30 also at least has REAL CUPHOLDERS haha.

No AE's

The driving experience on the f30 is amazing though.

i was just in the shop and was driving one as well. the HUD is cool and the power is great, but i felt to open in the car. when i returned it, i was a little skeptical that it would change how i felt about my 2008 328i, but it made me love it more. i love the more enclosed feeling that the older models have. the new one was too open feeling for me, not to mention the steering wasnt tight at all.

Ya I had a 2015 F30 loaner, loaded up with navigation and heads up display and honestly it wasn't bad for a 328. I would take that over an e90 328 any day.

I got the 328. It's so much faster than my e90 328, I'm surprised I didn't get a ticket on my way to work! Could not resist flooring it lol. Starting to consider trading my e90 for one but the interior and overall look of the car isn't as great as my e90 and lacks the feel of a low-key luxury vehicle, they clearly went for a more sportier look. The cup holders in the f30 still have their flaws, how would you put and larger size cup in them without them hitting the stereo/A.C.?

Starting to consider trading mine in for one, or might as well go for a 335, but then again I’ve only had my E90 for a few months so maybe I should keep it a few years before making the trade to enjoy the full e90 experience. It’s not bad for my first bimmer.

Ya definitely at least enjoy it until the warranty is up.
