I just bought one Traded the 06 330xi for the 011 335xi. HUGE improvement, IMO, between 06 and 11 for the E90. The last of them are the best of them.

That said, I have more fun driving the RA. I love BMW and my wife and I have had one continuously for over 10 years now, but they're very refined and uneventful (a good thing for most) at this stage.

My wife loves our car for many of the same reasons, it is just so much quieter and more comfortable that the RA was, particularly when it was putting out 292HP at the wheels and theoversized billet wheel in the turbo was winding out with a serious scream .

This car puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. Here are updated photos, I just got the 3m clear bra protection installed over most of the bumber, hood, fenders, door inserts, and trunk load area. Should keep the paint well protected, and that is what I am counting on.

I'll have it on Summit Point main course most of te day this Saturday, and wanted to be sure to have the paint protection installed prior to stretching her legs on the track.

I suspect I'll be grouped with all M3s in my heats, and at the speeds we will most likley reach down the 2900' straightaway, I surely did not want to have a stone get kicked up and come slamming down into my hood. Hopefully the paint protection won't have to actually do much defending, but if it is needed hopefully it will do it's job.

Look close, it is hard to see the clear bra on the hood, fenders, bumber/lower fairing,mirrors, truck loading area, and door handle inserts.

Next week I'll have the JBD diesel tuner installed that should provide 360HP, and 525 TQ at the wheels
