Got a rental car while I was in Irvine, CA...

[Steve2112]

BMW 3 series - I think it was either a 325 or 328, not sure.

Anyways, I test drove a 335i before my G37 purchase - it was definately a nice car, strong engine, but it just did not do it for me - I like more (and cheaper) tech toys, and IMO the styling on the G is nicer.

Anyways, I got to live with the car for 4 days, and here are some things I did not like:

Cup holder is hard to get to, under arm rest with the cup chiller.

Trunk is hard to open after you use the remote - very tight seal.

The orange triagle with the exclaimation point inside was always lit on the dash board - not sure what that was.

A/C controls were not very intuitive

The way the driver's side controls for the windows/locks is placed is weird - it's tough to easily use the buttons - it was contoured to rest your arm on it, but it makes the buttons hard to get at when you want to use them.

I did like the DS mode for driving around - it holds the RPMS high when you let off the gas.

Overall my experience with the car over the weekend made me appreciate my G so much more - I couldn't wait to get home! I felt like I was cheating on my car...
