1st year bugs on the 335i ?

Shoushi Malouche · 10-15-2006, 08:43 PM

Do you expect there to be a lot of first year bugs with the 335i coupe and sedan. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on a sedan but am always a little shy about first year runs. I know that this isn't a all new car just a new model

What other than the engine is actually new in the E90 335i Sedan in comparision to the 330i?

Thanks

Biturbos with new engine management software, new auto tranny, larger front brakes.
That's it, I think.

New chrome trim on A/C knobs ... *crickets* ... ok obviously that's not important

1. Smaller trunk well due to turbos (not a big deal tho).

2. If you go with Steptronic + Sports Pkg you can opt to add Paddle Shifters to your steering wheel for an extra $100.

3. As of '07 we now get 4 years of BMW Assist instead of 1 year.

4. Premium Pkg price has increased slightly, possibly due to extra BMW Assist.

Is the trunk smaller due to the fact that is has 2 exhaust boxes?...

Yep. Not sure if the trunk itself got much smaller, seems the same to me. But the trunk well under the liftable flap is much smaller now. I have a pic of it in my thread here: http://e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33326

6. Control knob for iDrive has slightly changed
7. Settings/layout in iDrive is little different then 06
8. Real Time Traffic Information
9. MPG now oil temperature gage
10. Compass on mirror is new (different) than 06
11. Clown nose on mirror is now half the size of my 06. Much nicer!

Considering my experience with the '06 330i, the first year could be its ONLY -- so you better get while you can.
