I wish you luck! I would have bought your car in Jan. if the price was lower! I didn't even notice it was up for sale until last week.

Sounds like a nice ride. And the S80 is a BEAUTIFUL car. I really like the styling of it. |

328 is a nice car and all but it's such a downgrade in terms of performance. Why not look at low mileage 335xi? More displacement and 1 more turbo

Never had a BMW before and never done european delivery, but I've been to europe many times. I'll be staying 3 nights with friends who live an hour south of Munich. Then I'll drive through the Dolomites and spend two nights in Verona. Then I'll drive the final day and drop off the car in Munich and spend the last night there before I leave. |

Nicely equipped! You chose almost the identical options I did, and also avoided the ridiculously overpriced "premium" package. (Mine is crimson red, black leatherette, 6MT, sport package, cold weather package, sirius, HD radio, and 18" wheels. (Logic 7 sound and Xenons were standard on the '08 335.)) You will have an amazing experience over there. The Welt is top-notch, and you'll never want to leave! Make sure you sign up for the factory tour - I think your son (and you) will be impressed by the robots and the overall Teutonic efficiencies. The museum was closed for remodeling when I was there last year, but that's probably worth checking out also. Last but not least, be sure to sample some of the incredible local brews - there's even a biergarten right at the Munich airport, weather permitting. ![]() |

Me http://********************/smile/emlove.gif BMW. RWD is so much fun! And you got an MT! By that description you could hardly find a better car. Your first upgrade should be a short shifter and weighted knob. |

I think so. Does the short shifter/knob make a huge difference? I drove the standard stick and it didn't seem it was that long of a throw. |

Chris, enjoy the trip. You know I am a big fan of OSD. Best way to buy a car. And you know no one has test driven your car which is nice bonus. the 328 might not be as fast as the 335, but it is still comparable to your R's acceleration. It's a good choice of car. Now you should have gotten your wife the V8 S80!! ![]() |

Noway weighing in at 3350lbs but 230hp/200tq N/A power band it feels like a civic next to an R. I've driven my friends 328i coupe quite a bit. |
