My opinion on my newly purchased 335i
Just got my '07 335 6-speed manual sedan the other day and all I have to say is WOW...... I have "almost" no bad things to say about this car, below are the goods and the bads of this car IMO.
Favorites: PERFORMANCE - the power on this car is incredible and BMW cars just have the most amazing high-tech feel and sound when they accelerate... the car handles turns like crazy and the breaks are great too. I honestly feel like I am in an M3 driving this car.... It feels faster than my friends E46M3 and my suspension is stiff and sporty. LOOKS - After tinting the windows & adding a carbon fiber spoiler, the E90 335i looks very sporty, sleek and sexy. The cabin is beautiful and luxurious feeling with supple leather and an attractive dashboard. All the components in the car feel heavy and quality. Comfort Features - All the features on this car make me feel completely pampered. The comfort access getting in, my automatic windshield wipers, easy to use and effective cruise control (way better than the one on my Audi), the voice recognition software (understands me more than I would expect), the Bluetooth integration with my Samsung Instinct phone, multi-direction electric seats, great climate control..... I could go on and on. The I-Drive??? I don't find it nearly as horrible as everyone made it sound...... I have been playing video games and using computers my whole life, and I actually enjoy the I-Drive technology-- especially for the NAV which I think its excellent (voice recognition for the NAV is very useful while driving). What I don't like (I have to think hard for this one): Sound - The Logic 7 sound seems to have some static sound and really doesnt sound as good as my Bose sound system on my Audi. Also, the MP3 player doesn't let you make playlists that I know of and I cant even find a way to play the songs on shuffle. They could gave put a LOT more effort into making this useful and effective. I also kind of miss my preset buttons to get to my radio stations--- it is a bit of pain to use voice recognition or the I-Drive to switch stereo channels. Also, the nav system sound is too soft and I cant find a way to change it. Remote - I expected to be able to close the windows/moonroof with the remote and am a little disapointed in that. Ok-- I cant really think of much more than I don't like. I'd say its biggest weakness lies with its sound system, but otherwise it is truly the ultimate driving machine! I invent errands just as an excuse to drive more now and cant think of ANY other car I'd rather have. The G37 and IS350 may come close in 0-60 and be cheaper, but they are not the BMW experience and I wouldn't trade the 335i for those cars in a million years. I'm sure all the other 335i owners feel the same. Thanks for hearing my 2-cents on this amazing vehicle. |

Since you have comfort access the other alternative to using the key, is to rest our finger on the ridges a little longer and all windows/sunroof will close.

If you're talking about using an ipod through your i-drive, you can shuffle by pressing down on the current track and selecting random, I haven't used any other sort of MP3 devices. Enjoy the new car.

MP3 Player
I am not using an mp3 player but am using an CD which has MP3's on it. Thanks for the info on raising that Nav Ladys voice so I can hear her =) I will get pics up soon, I'm waiting until I get my blackline taillights in 2 days so she can be seen in her full glory!
