Re: Problematic E90 Owners

hamz, what other options have you?
Honestly, I am far from impressed with my E90. It is good, but I am not convinced it is worth its price.
1) Alfa 159
not sure how much is alfa 159 (the new one, and I am not sure if it is already here).
If I can save 20000, I would not hesitated and get that.
2) IS250
How much is this? Again if there's substantial savings, I think this might be a good alternative.

The other salon....no where near.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

IS250 around $130k to $135k. Higher spec'ed than comparable 320i. Coming Jan 2006, first cars on the road around then, pending LTA homologation.

Recent Fifth Gear review rated it very well for comparable diesel versions, IS220d vs 320d.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

If you read the UK mag reviews, most say the IS comes close but not close enough for the BMW 3 series. Of course, you get more power with the base IS250 vs 320.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

hullo bros....just got an offer of $133K before 3% cash rebate,,,,,that works out to be 130K.
worth it????hmmmmmm

Re: Problematic E90 Owners

I walked into Lexus before deciding on my BMW. The Lexus sales lady obviously thot I wld not be able to afford a Lexus (looking at the RX300). The BMW SE was patient and was not judgemental. That played a role in me deciding on the BMW as well.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

i think this is normally the problem when u buy the 1st generation of a new model/series. I think the E46 1st generation also had it's fair share of problems when it was first launched.

THat's why car manufacturers always comes out with 'face-lifted' models, aka 'debugged' model!

May I ask this price is based on how much loan taken? Thanks
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

The UK car mag "CAR" rated IS250 at least on par for drivebility and handling comparing to the 3 series if not better. I think 320 is not worth the money, at lease a 325. On the other hand, PML price the 325 till ppl will take the 523 instead; strange pricing.

I would think if you want a more sporty drive with a higher HP, go for the 325. If you want status and comfort, go for the 523. On top of that, 325 comes with Navigation system but not 523.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

The 523 doesn't come with active steering unlike the last batch of 520s. I would think you (Janson) would appreciate it as it would be easier to park!

Jus like what PW mentioned...if you want the sporty look..go for the 325!

yes, you're right ! but i seriously doubt i still want a bmw after being treated with such services.. will see how it goes..
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

suggest switch to the lexus is250, lah. jap tech seldom fails but character? well that's another question.
 
Re: Problematic E90 Owners

For the same price, a lexus and a BMW, in this case a 320 vs is250, I would go for the BMW.
The prestige is worth more than the power, even if is250 is a great great car.
I can forgo a little of the prestige and get the power if I also save.
