2004 330xi with Sports Package, Photos?

[jamminj]

Some how i"ve pretty much decided that the 330xi is the car I want, but I can't find any pictures of it with the sports package. Can anyone point me in the correct direction or post their own? Thanks a ton, and I can't wait to get this thing!

The xi is actually a considered a fully automatic full time "all wheel drive", with an automatic uneven distribution front and rear. More in the rear, less in the front. This is so there is no wheel "jump" when the front wheels are fully cranked left or right in a dry, non-slipping situation. If anyone has ever had a real 4x4 (like a Jeep) they know what I mean by wheel jumpingin turns.

If you live in a snowy climate then the xi might be a good option. Otherwise I would go with a regular i or Ci for better all around performance and handling.

The power distribution is 62% rear and 38% front so the vehicle still feels like rear wheel drive.
