Congratulations! Very Nice!
 
The seat heaters will still come in handy for cool, damp evenings.
 
I found the interior space to be surprising. It's not as wide as the 5-series, but head/leg room are quite good.

Well, not quite replaces since I still have the 92, but I decided to
go for the bimmer as a daily driver. As some of you know, I've been
debating this car, the G35 and GTO.

The car is a black on black 6-speed "true" manual transmission (as Ron
would say) with premium, sport and cold weather package. While it may
sound strange to get the latter here in South Florida, I didn't want
to wait for a new order car and this one came off the boat in Sept
this way. Plus the heated seats actually are nice for a sore back. 
Nothing has changed in consumer buying habits and manual transmission
330i's are hard to come by on the lot.

This car is incredible to drive. Everything people say about them and
car mags write about is true but hard to put into words. This car
doesn't break a sweat driving hard into curves.
It is physically smaller than the SHO by a lot and yet feels roomier
inside. There a lot of other toys as well.

The new car now has window tint that you won't see in the pics posted
in the link below, so the car looks even sharper. If you plan to try
this with dial-up, grab a coffee as these picture are large. A high
res display helps too.
