Got my 330i M Sport yesterday

After 2 extensions of my 16's 340 lease since last Sept. Had my 19's 330 delivered yesterday....4 vs. 6...see how it goes.

One thing very noticeable: the Dynamic Safety with active intervention really surprised me driving it home - vibrating steering wheel with auto correction

No match for my 34 miles "spirited" driving home...I have to work it rather than my 340 coming naturally to give the punch...but I need a Bimmer and can't wait till end of this year...

There’s only one housing size, but there are two different screen sizes that fit within that housing. Nevertheless the single housing size makes it less obvious that you got the smaller screen.

Yepper. The smaller screen size and forgoing navigation is the price you pay for the “analog” gauges.

What was the MSRP? What did you pay? Did you lease again?

I picked this wanting to match all black interior without actually seeing it...it turned out nice in color and touch.
