@blah: and these links i will have to check out. I wasn't even aware that the M5 was in the states yet :?

*LOL* well, then I was the first dude here :D

how is 325i compared to 330i? Can you actually feel that 330i is faster than 325i?

ZfrkS62 04-29-2005 07:48 AM

^^ yes you can feel a very nice difference 8) The 330 has a little more power than the E36 M3 and the 325 is a tad bit under. As i said about the 525 vs 530, the difference is in the intake and ignition map.

Handling characteristics are about the same unless it has AFS or dynamic drive

And now what you have all been waiting for: THE E90!!

I gotta say, if you aren't a fan of the styling, go see it in the metal. It looks amazing 8) Not so much in the black IMO because the black seems to flatten the body lines a bit. But the Graphite and Arctic Silver are awesome :D As has been mentioned before, the rear doesn't look the best, it does look to have a white girl's ass, (skinny and barely there) compared to the ghetto bootys i was used to seeing in rap videos (I think you can figure that out :wink: ). i think that the tail lights will be the section to get redesigned in a couple years when it comes time for the face lift (though this time i'd have to say ass lift :lol: )

^^^ Interestingly enough, your (US) E90's have yellow indicator lights on the headlamps, whereas the European ones are clear.

I have a feeling that will be an option sooner or later. The E46 had amber corner markers at first as well, but i think the coupe got clear markers.

@ saddie- no problem 8)

rolled in yesterday. It's going to be damn near a restoration job with all the work that was written up on it. 68 hours worth of labor :shock:

yeah, quite similar to the E21 and E24. For some reason they styled them all with that look in that era. Its foam rubber too :lol:

Those bumpers are rediqulos looking :roll: Such shale for such a classic

bmwdakias 05-09-2005 08:36 PM

I have spoted that probably all BMWs in the US dont have totally clear indicator markers, a quick check on the US website will confirm that.Its not that they are completely orange but their edges are not clear.Is there a law or sth requiring this? In a way it has a small negative effect on the looks and i dont see a reason unless its due to law restrictions.

ZfrkS62 05-09-2005 09:26 PM

the bumpers were for low speed impact (2.5-5MPH) standards at the time.

The markers themselves are clear however it is a law that turnsignals on the front are amber in color. So, you stick an amber colored bulb in a clear lens and your light is amber :D on the E60 it's amber colored LEDs. imo the clear lenses look better than the amber lenses as long as they are stock. the aftermarket lenses just look tacky.
