Are we thinking about a "potential" Crossfire replacement Andrew?

i am still staying positive the leasing company will negotiate the buy out and keeping it as an extra car.

Upgrade to an SRT-6, they are surely cheap enough.

See if your Chrysler dealer will let you turn in the lease and then sell it back to you for what the current price for a used 2004 xfire which I'm sure is cheaper than the residual value of the lease.

Yes, along with the power improvements they also updated the wheels and made a few subtle changes to make the interior seem a little more upscale.

Andrew -

I frequent the bmw forums (e90post and bimmerfest) as often as I do this board (former bmw dealer employee) and I just have to wonder do you want a 335? It seems most of those guys who have a 330 either now want a 335 or have already gotten one.

~ no not at all... i didn't buy the 330 for its power... i had an M3 for that purpose (and drove it very hard).

i purchased the 330 for ... a car with adequate power, perfect power/torque band when needed, great craftsmanship, and amenities. in all honestly i have probably only floored the 330 a half a dozen times... i just don't drive it like that. no regrets at all selecting the 330... a wonderful car in all aspects.

same with the crossfire... very rarely do i accelerate at full throttle... its not a fast car... so i don't drive it like it is. as for cornering... i push its limits.

just me i guess.
