The dock itself was $149 + shipping. I installed it myself. The dock comes with left/right/video output, so I spliced an 1/8" stereo in to the left/right and ran it to the center console. The dock also has wires for power, so I soldered them straight to the cig lighter next to it. It was the first time I've used my soldering iron in ages.

I'm pretty happy with it right now. The only issue I current have is that I don't have the proper insert to fit my first generation iPhone. I'm expecting to change that next month when the new iPhones come out though. They are supposed to be the same form factor as the current generation iPhone.

Thanks, man!
Not sure if I can soldering my self

Used car dealer at http://www.sacramentoeuropean.com/

Not CPO'd. I assume the extended maint and warr was from the original owner. Great dealers to work with (and honest as well, I got a nice refund check when the cost of registration was not as high as expected).

I guess it's personal taste, but for some reason on three of my five cars I have chrome wheels. The other two have brushed aluminum aka shiny wheels.

Nice deal. Is it a CPO? I looked online the other day and most of the prices for a 06 330i from dealers around 30k

LBP287 · 05-27-2009, 06:35 PM

Good luck selling it with those wheels on there.

3pnt4maro · 05-27-2009, 09:29 PM

I actually like those wheels for some reason..Im not a fan of chrome on these cars, but those look pretty nice...I have always liked the five spoke design

3pnt4maro · 05-27-2009, 09:30 PM

DALLASBIMMER, I think I know why Im so torn on those wheels....they make the car look like a Lincoln LS...they had a similar design and thats what it reminds me of

LBP287 · 05-28-2009, 01:46 AM

Thanks guys! Yeah I like em! Also have the stockers with winter tires when the snow comes!

cd4477 · 06-01-2009, 06:12 PM

This is my first BMW and it has been everything I expected and more! This car reminded me that driving was meant to be fun... A few mods I have done to it are a BMW Performance SSK, Blacklines, CF Splitters. I love this thing!
