It looks like that. I had a B5.5 Passat and after I saw the new B6
I got a big turn-off on VW. In my opinion they lowered the quality
but also they stop offering the manual-6cyl combination
that for me is a must.

BMW is mechanically is exactly what I was looking for.

Another new member

I've been a member for some time now, no posts until I saw the other new member saying hello. - I've had my new E90 for about 2 weeks and I wanted to say hello as well. I also wanted to thank all of you for your posts and information - a wonderful source of information.

My E90 is a 330/Jet Black/Sports/Auto/Walnut - photos to come after it's first wax at the detail shop.

BTW, I am taking it out on the track - Portand International Raceway with the local BMW club (with an instructor) next week. Any concerns/input about this?

My car is wonderful - my first BMW as well.

Thanks in advance for any input

Jose

Welcome! I've had a Jetta and a Passat W8. Both were fine cars, but the BMW 3 Series is a whole other level. Enjoy!

I have come from the B6 Audi A4. One of the factors in my decision was that VW is really screwing over the Audi brand - the B6 Passat will have technology not available on the B7 A4, and better engines. The A4 is of course much better in the handling department and the new Passat is hideous IMHO while the Audi is beautiful in a plain way.

At the end of the day it was a rented Z4 that changed things, I experienced the joy of a properly sorted rear drive car, and have been hooked ever since. Since the Z4 is too small for me, I got the next best thing in my opinion. Now I have the pain of waiting, but it is worth it...
