Another Test drive of 330i Sport

Well, about 2 hrs ago I completed a test drive of the 330i with the sport package and 6 speed transmissin all I can say is wow . The 255hp motor is really strong. It pulled without effort in third gear from 35mph. The steering was wonderful almost go kart like and the body roll was very small. I took several corners without the brakes applied and I was plesantly suprised with the grip. The gear shifting was smooth and the cabin was quiet. I thought the interior was well appointed. I saw very few case of BMW taking the cheap way out. I didn't like the cup holders or the magazine storage in the back of the seats. To be honest I have nothing really bad to say about the car. I didn't like the radio controls and I am having a hell of a time figuring out the turn signals. All in all this car rocks and I am wondering how the SMG version will run. I took a few picks with my camera phone so excuse the poor quality.

The car I drove didn't have active steering which is something I was looking forward to. That silver look really good. Photos don't do this car enough justice. I know the pic of the sticker is really blured. For what's it worth the new 7 was their too and the new front and rear treatment was nice.
