Just took a test drive at Kuni BMW Lots of Pics

Krueger///M3 · 03-10-2008, 11:59 PM

I took a test drive at Kuni BMW. They are selling a few cars at MSRP for now. The only thing that I think should be changed is the exhaust note. It sounds awesome but should be louder. The car looks fabulous in white.

Sorry, some of the photos are a little overexposed.

ybbiz34 · 03-11-2008, 12:35 AM

How about a review of the test drive?

Thanks for the photos.

The car definitely felt faster than the E46 M3 that we drove there in and did sound awesome. The only critique that I had was that the exhaust didn't sound as loud as I would hope, but that was largely in part that the Borla system on the E46 is extremely loud. Another disadvantage that we had was that we went on the test drive at 5 pm and encountered bad traffic, along with rain... It would have been much better if we had gone to the test drive on one of the current sunny days that we have been having here in Oregon. Due to the weather, we had to have EDC on and weren't able to take very many twisty roads. The car was definitely a step above the E46 that we have with aftermarket suspension in terms of refinement and ride quality. The car we drove was equipped with EDC, but we never got to fiddle around with the settings that much, I think that it was set to normal mode. The interior is very much the same style that was in the E46, only with a few new nice touches such as the seat belt grabber, the rear seat movement buttons, and the new navigation. The car also looked absolutely fabulous IMO in the Alpine white on Black extended leather with the 19"ers. Thinking about buying this car just to be the first person to drive one around in Portland and sell it before I get the M-DCT.

That's definitely weird. Who was your salesman? They told us that they were firm at MSRP. Two coupes and a sedan.

Vertigo//SD · 03-11-2008, 05:35 PM

Where's the door handle?

KonigsTiger · 03-11-2008, 06:10 PM

Very nice pics and review!! Does MSRP include taxes?

How much are taxes? On average?

Krueger///M3 · 03-12-2008, 12:50 PM

Sorry, I meant to edit this, the cars are 3k over MSRP, the salesman strangely didn't tell us this on the drive. Just bought the JB one (see other thread)

Rasmussen just got an M3 in. Not a customer car. I'm not driving it, though---waiting for mine in a few days.

Do you know what specs it has? I'm taking it's fully loaded?... Is it for sale or demo?
