Need help on deciding!!!!!!

aznyeast · 01-20-2006, 01:06 PM

Hey guys, been lurking through the forum for weeks now and finally registered. I just got back from the dealer and put down a deposit on a 330i Alphine White with Black interior, premium, sport, steptronics, REAR SUNSHADES. I was happy as the car already in on a boat but then he informed me that he will be able to get me another one exactly like that but with Terra interior plus Comfort Access instead of Black with sunshades. For me, I dont need the sunshade at all because I will tint my car. I am actually looking for the comfort acess option. I cant afford to place a new order because I need the car in 2 weeks. So here are the options

Alphine White with black interior + Sunshades or
Alphine White with Terra interior + Comfort Access.

Is Terra interior worth it? I tried to find a car with terra interior to see if I like it or not but then there's none on the lot. Pics and advices would be great right now.

Oh, one more thing, glad to be e90 driver

Can't wait to actually get it

Welcome!

My vote = Alphine White with Terra interior + Comfort Access.

Check my garage for Terra interior pics.

Terra, especially if it comes with aluminum trim.
Wouldn't want a "queasy farrago"

i have terra, DONT GET ALUMINUM, its cheap, go for the burl trust me on this one, heres my website with my car, alpine white with terra and burl. http://homepage.mac.com/doug89/Pictures.html there you go, good luck with your choice.

marketman · 01-20-2006, 01:32 PM

Stay with the wood trim .....

White over black is rare. with comfort ? fuggetaboutit.
I'll do a search for you though......

marketman · 01-20-2006, 01:35 PM

stressdoc · 01-20-2006, 01:45 PM

He is after a 330, not a 325.

marketman · 01-20-2006, 01:50 PM

OOPS -- my bad .....

Found a 330i prem/sport/auto/comfort/satprep/htd seats..43,445 msrp

In production / 150 status

ksfrogman · 01-20-2006, 02:40 PM

Interior colors aside, maybe the more important question is what would you value more, sun shades or comfort access?

Since I'm a gadget freak, the rear power sun shade is pretty cool. Reminds me of a bullet proof screen james bond would have, but honestly, like the comfort access option much more. It is so convenient and I never fumble for my keys anymore.

bimmer4me · 01-20-2006, 02:52 PM

I have comfort access and the sunshade. IMO, on a scale from 1 to 10...
Comfort Access = 8 (great convience)
Power Sunshade = 4 (does really work well for heat/light. money better spent on tints)

jcoo085 · 01-20-2006, 02:55 PM

Go with comfort access.

aznyeast · 01-20-2006, 03:15 PM

I really set on the Comfort access over sunshades. The problem lies with the Terra interior. Many people say it either a love it or hate it look. I am worry that I will not like it and regret the color just because I wanted Comfort Access. I have enough regrets, dont need another one right now

I'm going to get myself in trouble for saying this, but I didn't pick it [terra] because it reminded me of poopie. Then again, the photos I have seen of the Terra interior on e90post.com looked real nice.

I picked black because I wanted uniformity of colors for the interior. Then again with Terra, if someone/thing poops on your seats, you won't notice it as much.

Alphine White with black interior + Comfort Access

aznyeast · 01-20-2006, 07:18 PM

I wish I could get that alphine white + black interior + comfort access but then I wont be able to wait for more than 2 weeks

IF only theres a car with Terra interior that I can see, I wont have this problem

england1987 · 01-20-2006, 08:54 PM

I would go for the alpine white with terra and comfort access. Welcome to the forum.

CALIF65GM · 01-20-2006, 11:05 PM

2-letters say it all: "CA"

Hankdoll · 01-21-2006, 02:57 PM

The black interior will hold up better over time. Why don't you order CA & shades and wait?
