Cool My New BMW 328i

Hey guys, as some of you may already know I traded in my 2004 RX8 because it was dying on me but Mazda claimed that nothing was wrong with it. So instead of dealing with mazda over and over again, I got this instead...

congrats on the new car!

am just curious... is this ur first bmw? and, y didn't u get iDrive and how do u like the positioning of the cup holders? am asking because i've owned an e46 323i for about 9 years. and, other than the great power improvements, i'm not crazy about what bmw has done w/ the cabin, dash, and tail light design with the e90's...

Thx for the comments guys. I purchased an auto because it was the only way my wife would let me buy the BMW (she cant drive standard ). Also the traffic here in Houston sucks. So far the car has really impressed me, mainly due to the smooth inline 6, which is pretty quick and the overall quality of the vehicle. The only complaint i have is that the car feels really heavy at the pedal. You have to give the pedal more than normal pressure before the car starts to move. I was told this was intentional so that the car would accelerate smooth, and not jerk when accelerating. But if you punch it, the car will get up and go.

The cup holders are placed a little funny, but they work none the less. The interior material and quality is absolutely beautiful. It doesnt have that sports car feel like the RX8 and I admit I kinda miss it. I feel 3 years older when I drive it (im 24).

Best of all, the dealership has been nothing but GREATNESS when compared to my old mazda dealer. They even threw in the floor mats (same as my wife's new toyota, but we had to buy those for 100 dollars!!NEW CARS DONT INCLUDE FLOOR MATS! WTF). And they scheduled by first oil change, which btw are all free for 4 years/50,000 miles. Everything is free except new tires.

Thanks again for the remarks.
