Vince, thanks so much for posting the photos. I'm calling Renntech tomorrow - I want that shifter and boot! They look perfect. Interior door handles in brushed aluminum look really nice as well. Too bad they didn't do the seating in custom leather - it would be interesting to see what could be done.

BTW: how do you like ofoto? I'm looking at alternatives, since photopoint seems to be dead in the water.

Anyways, they should be working now.

sorry about that.

we were trying to do a doughnut, but one of the traction control features kicked in, even though ESP was turned off. lesson here: be careful, even pro's lose it.

I agree they C230 is a rarely seen sight on the road.

BUT - there's about 5 or 6 of them on the lot at my local MB dealer...MB of Houston (north). These have been on the lot for a couple of weeks.

so they are available.

330s are rarer than 325s. but i can't tell the difference unless i look at the number on the back. that's bad, imo. that's sort of why i didn't want to get another bmw - sedan or coupe; not enough differentiation. now an M3, i know.

true - the only reason I didn't get the 330i versus the C320 is:
my buddy has a '01 330i silver with sport pkg/xenon's (NICE)
my cousin has a '00 323i
my wife's friend has a '00 328i.

I wanted something different !!!!!

so I guess I know how you guys feel



I just wish MB would have come up with a better sport package for the sedan....at least put 17" wheels in the pkg (I put the C32 AMG wheels on my car).
