Maybe a bit boring but.........

Some new squeeks and rattles are present. Cant locate them.(Rear seatbelts? dunno).

Engine note is louder. Transmission is smooth but becomes creamy after racing car a bit. I do take it up to 5500 rpms.

This car is wonderful on 80-90 corners. Steer with throttle. The steering is rock solid. Maybe its memory/getting used to the car but I cannot differentiate the feel of the steering from the 323i around corners where I work the car.

This car is happy above 100mph. At 115 its all excitment. Wind roar (muted) exhaust engine note all combine into this lovely sound as the suspension just holds the car and you feel as if its an extension of yourself. This is the reason I bought i, and it is everything I wanted. A lux/sporty car that is whatever you want it to be. Its not a Camero Z28, nor a boxter nor an M3. Its a 330Ci and it kicks rear ends nicely enough.
