before i bought this car 3 months ago, i went to the local dealer for a
test drive in the new E90 which i wanted to buy. once i drove it and had a good
look at it, i came to conclusions that it drives nice but it's sooooooooo bloody ugly
and i will not be able to live with those looks. I changed my mind and sold my ex
323ci and bought this black beast.
...
do you think i made the right choice not going for that ugly looking E90?. I think I
saved about good £12000 and i,ve got a much better looking car.
LOL, I did almost the same thing.
While shopping for a car, I saw 'spy photos' of the upcoming 3-series,
saw my dream car quickly fading into the wind, and ordered the very
last E46 model allocated to my dealership. All 3-series sold after that
car, were the E90.
Another dealer had already sold his E46 allocation, so I had to shop around
to find one.
I love my car, and am glad I was able to jump on the prior model before
it was gone.
I don't know if BMW cares or not, but my next car will not be a BMW if
it's designed by Chris Bangle and crew.
There are already too many Japanese cars on the road, we don't need
yet more Japanese cars with a "BMW" roundel on the hood.
