Re: my new crossfire replacement car...
My review of the e90 (IMO!!!)
The feel of the interior feels like a five series from a few years ago. I test drove a manual E90 330i and noticed the engine note was pretty quite compared to the E46. The car felt more stiff, but felt more refined than the e46. The gearbox was pretty smooth I must say, night and day obviously between my bros mach 1. The car gets going after 4k pretty nicely. All in all, its a great car. Not what I expected though. I think the new 330 has crossed over to the luxurious moreso than any 3 series before. It related more to an Audi A4 6 speed 3.2 quattro. It has the sport package also with the 18s.
I would say the only ride on my wish list is an E46 m3, but if i jump into that, I want to make sure I am ready to.
