I bought my car from a friend of mine in Mountain View, but he no longer works there

Mountain View did however treat me well

You can actually get it below MSRP and damn close to invoice.

how is the navi system in the 328? I checked out the lexus is350 few weeks back and I was pretty impressed by their navi voice command.

i was just at stevens creek subaru (don't kill me, I was at the mall that's why) yesterday to check out the 08 spec B. It's nice, but pretty much the same as 07 but a cleaner exterior look. However, their stock navi is still sihty as hell! no voice command no BT.

oh and when does the new model usually come in for BMW (08 specifically)? end of the year? thanks!

Its the same as the 335i

its a good system when you get used to it, however the Lexus one is unmatched (except for the fact that you can't use it while driving)

In the BMW you can use it while driving, you just have to get used to the iDrive system.

Everyone knocks it, but when you get used to it, its actually pretty neat and works well.

It allows you to keep your eyes on the road instead of looking down at the screen like pretty much every other manufactures system.

The 07's interface is kinda sh*tty because it doesn't have POI searching, however i've heard that a trip to the dealer complaining about it will have them install the 08's interface on there, which does allow POI searching.

yeah, it's a great deal if you want a 335. my sis and fiancee are gonna do it for their honeymoon. With the 2-for-1 airfare deal, plus the savings on the car itself, they will save $5000 over the normal price + 1 airline ticket + rental car costs in Europe.

If only they made a 335xi wagon for the US...so far it's Europe only.

nope, its first for this year

the 335 in general just came out this year

there have been AWD BMW's for a while though

they used to make 325iX's back in the day (325 was the top of the line 3 series back then- minus the M3)
