E90 Waffle
So the wife and I are thinking about an E90 in the next 9 months or so. I'm still not sold on the styling, but her Mazda 6 isn't wearing well. The quality is detereorating as the miles pile on.
What are the general opinions of the E90 from those who have some seat time? We really liked the E46, but the CA was a dick so we walked. I think we'd be looking at a 325i with PP, CWP, Adaptive Xenon, and the power rear sunshade. Edmunds says around $36,200. waffle

I think I'd be more likely to go for a low mileage CPO E46.

I have spent approx. 4 hours of QT in an E90 330i. I like it...more so than my former E46 330Ci. What I do not like is the price.
Edit: I must have been drunk when I ordered/purchased the E46, it was overpriced too. Last edited by SCA; 10-06-2005 at 05:08 PM. |

I just don't see this car as a step forward, even in the ways that the E46 was an improvement over the E36. The price is also daunting, esp. when you consider the plethora of E46s out there that can be had in the mid-20s. Personally, I'd buy a used 02 330i SP or a 03 330i ZHP; you'll probably save a big chunk of change over the new 325, and in my opinion you'll end up with a better car. |
