[prototyp]

April '05 build , delivered May '05 to my friend (one of two of my buddies who traded up from e42s to e90's as soon as they were available).

Drove the car a few times over the last three and some years and always loved it... though each time just reminded me I hadn't bought one for myself. Happily, as of 44k miles and a little over a month ago, it's mine. A stellar used-car purchase, I couldn't be happier.

A thousand miles in and I'm loving the 330i... it's so balanced and so very swift. Driving around these cities and suburbs requires an almost painful degree of restraint... too many stop lights, always a bit of traffic everywhere. This car needs an epic road trip.
