I like it in white (I went out back to check out customers cars)
I'm kind of sad they sold the M3's.
I think the headlights and car itself looks a lot better in person.

X6 coming to a dealer near your!! ..I think

holy shit dude, I didn't think it was a big deal from the official pics, but when I saw the sedan at the dealer I thought it was the sweetest ride in the world!!!
I like it better than the coupe and I never thought I'd say that.
I'm saving up for one of those, although it may not happen for a while since I'm going into business school

Bret - I'll try to catch you when I pick up the car. Seems the techs were in a huddle when I dropped the car off.

Keep an eye on my black sapphire 330xi 4 door, 35% tints, Ryan's team. Make sure they don't wash it again.

'Your boy Kevin' scratched my rim, while changing the rubber, and Ryan ordered me a new one. Will arrive tomorrow or Sat. I'm 'stuck' with this 328 until then. I hope the rim was one that had some rash on it already.

This 328 is like a different world, compared to my car. The interior finish is so drastically different. And I'm stuck listening to FM.

Ryan said I have the new 'software' installed; he refuses to acknowledge the existence of the term 'Progman'. Why is that?

yeaaa it happens...but kevin didnt do it the shop foreman did haha..regardless that rim had some knicks on it or something along those lines before too..but the main problem was our tire machine being retarded and the runflats on e90s are a pain in the ass to mount bc of the sidewalls being stupid thick and hard. on the bright side at least you get a new wheel now! and yea your software was updated..mostly the SAs dont really talk that much technical stuff with the customer cause honestly alot of the times its a PITA when people come in thinking they know whats wrong when they really dont..so the SAs try and keep it as simple as possible lol

How long did you drive on the RFT's, before switching?

Having only driven on RFT's, I'm unsure of the handling difference.

I would think the 19's make a difference too, compared with my 17's.

There would have to be a LARGE difference for me to switch to non-RFT's; I've had 5 flats in 2 years. My tires are magnets for metal debris. I've changed too many tires (on prior cars) on the highway for dealing with that.

In my last car I had a blowout at 85+ mph, on the highway. I was able to control it enough to pull over to the shoulder.

I've also been burned by a flat spare (my fault for not checking regularly).

I guess I just need to stop passing on the shoulder - I'll pick up less trash in my tires.

I had my first flat about 5 months ago. Fortunately, there was a wide shoulder and my spare was aired up...it only took me about 6 minutes before I was back on the highway. I guess I should apply to work in NASCAR???

I have spotted two E90s here one was stock
TiAg 330i and another a Sparkling Graphite E90 with
some OEM aftermarket rims.
At my hotel there was a 550i with M-tech and
M6 Rims.
Also there is an old Porsche with RUF rims

Don't drink so much this trip; you want to remember the fun.

And, save your money for mods.

Go find out who owns the e90s over in the Caribean subforum.
