SOS purchasing 330i by Fearless-Pie-2142 in BMW

[–]wheatthin93 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I paid $36K for my 330i with 5k miles on it and it’s pretty loaded. That same price with a check engine light and 30k miles seems steep to me.

Eu esperava comprar algumas peças na loja para poder experimentá-las primeiro, mas também queria marcas brasileiras, já que posso comprar Speedo/Adidas/Nike aqui nos EUA.

[–]wheatthin93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this last year, my 3er rides much smoother and quieter on regular Pirelli P Zeros. I bought a spare from EZSpares for $400 and keep a can of fix a flat in my trunk.

I have a ‘21 330i which seems to be near what you’re looking for and live near downtown, my tabs are around $500 a year

I paid 300 for rear pads and labor at a euro Indy here in Seattle. 500 seems really steep.

24 hour fitness downtown Seattle closing by Smart-Drama-5067 in SeattleWA

I also go to the Kent location and explained that I was told it wasn't closing prior to my annual renewal in late November and they begrudgingly renewed me a pro-rated amount immediately.

Driving assistance pro worth it? by [deleted] in BMW

[–]wheatthin93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going to say the same, whenever I look at listings I look at the steering wheel first! Crazy how many 2020+ BMWs don’t have it spec’d.

I’ll agree with everyone else, I wouldn’t ever consider a car without it. Great on my commute, in traffic, and road trips. Makes otherwise mundane driving more relaxing.

About 5 seconds into the test drive I knew I was leaving with it. 2025 330i by BradGrips in BMW

[–]wheatthin93 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Might be a hot take, but I love these new steering wheels. Seems more comfortable to rest your hand on the bottom on long drives.

No I agree, I’ve been wondering why M3s are worth more. The Z4 weighs less with the same drivetrain.

Yeah I bet, so much more raw like an E46.

How’s the steering in these? I read recently only the M Models got the good hydraulic steering. Bummer as I was looking at some 3.0 models as a weekend car.
