BMW 330ci - nice!

[Goran]

My friend let me drive his '06 BMW 330ci and I let him drive my 6-speed S8.
I have to admit the 330 is a really nice car to drive, nice torque, suspension not too hard, the legendary BMW steering really is very nice, and the manual shifter is so smooth you really wouldn't want an automatic.
Even the seats are fine.
I caught myself thinking I really could live with this car, just very smooth and nice to drive. Exhaust has more sound than stock S8 exhaust too.
Needless to say I really want to get my exhaust done now.

Funnily enough my son recently bought himself a 2005 330ci. And I can agree, its a lovely thing. And unusually for Beemers (since they were Bangelised), good looking from any angle.
I drives great and the auto box is so good I can't see why you'd want a manual ;)

In bumbling along mode the engine is noisier than the V10, but then everything in the BMW is noisier. It sounds wonderful when you open it up, but not anyway near as loud as my standardly exhausted 8, IMO.
