Amazing cars! If only we could get all those diesel models.
And no matter what BMW, you have to get either the sport package or M package.
Of course the M package is always preferred, so 335i

Thanks for the comments everyone, I took the delivery of the vehicle last night.

The weather was not great and I didn't bring my camera, so I used my phone to snap a photo and then got distracted :)

More to come soon.

Super excited for you though! :)

Looks like the F30 is so much more well received than the e90.

tofu1413 04-26-2012 10:09 PM

more of a spiritual successor to the E30 than the E90 ever was to the E30.

interior is much more tradition bmw: controls face the driver.

Parked liked a d-bag but only for about a minute to get coffee. On the way back remembered that I don't have any pics to show yet... still a crappy phone pic

How do you find the electric steering? Have not driven it yet, but the mags are complaining about the lack of feel

F30 04-30-2012 05:18 PM

Electric steering, I like it. Sure it isn't as "tight" at low speeds as I'm used to, but it's not a bad thing. When I'm parking it's super easy and on a highway it is stiffer.

I'd say that in every way I like this car far more than prior gen 3er, which I drove for a month and a half as a daily driver. Heads up display is a great way to keep eyes on the road while having speed, navi and music projected. Smaller 4 cil engine is surprisingly good on gas (for a BMW). Interior is better looking. Driving in sport mode is super fun. Even little things like opening the trunk by making a leg kick under trunk motion is pretty useful (heads full of groceries etc). I'm very happy with it (600kms already and counting lol, drove it to Seattle on the weekend).

I think i saw u yesterday on No.3rd turning turning into near canadian tire. not many f30s around in that color yet

F30 05-01-2012 02:41 PM

I was in Richmond yesterday.:) It may have been me!

rocksforsale 05-02-2012 11:11 PM

hey how many l/100km are you getting?

F30 05-03-2012 02:26 PM

I used Eco mode for trip to Seattle and averaged 6.5l/100km

rocksforsale 05-03-2012 08:52 PM

holy crap thats unbelieveably efficient. bmw gave me a 1 series as a courtesy and that was 11.5, while the 3 series i have now gets 15

ShyGuy 05-03-2012 10:34 PM

leg kick under trunk to open....thats genius....

Harvey Specter 05-04-2012 12:57 AM

The build quality on the 3 series is really good and I really like the interior however I don't like how BMW bumped up the price. They had a new 328i at BJ and the sticker price was $51,000.

BlackZRoadster 05-24-2012 11:58 AM

Planning on trading in my BMW for the estoril blue msport 335i sedan now.

July production, should be delivery in September

^Where'd you get the plate from? Probably fought all of Richmond for it LOL

I'm glad this thread turned into an actual car buying thread and not a "please help me choose between an LP-570 vs 458 thread"
