Theres alot to like about my 330i, but I gotta say, the steering wheel is the best. I like it better than the M sport (too fat) and the 325i (too smooth) and any other steering wheel I have ever used for that matter. I just love to wrap my hands around it and feel the grainy leather. It's my favorite thing to feel in the whole world........well almost. [fake]

I love the steering wheel on my M3, but the part that I love the best is the raw hp the engine pumps out.[driving]

For me it would have to be the Pimpage Factor [:X] [thumb] [:X]

hehe oh I love the interior, the lines, the shape... the controls on the steering wheel, the handling (I knew they were the best handling cars, but I didn't fully understand what that meant till I drove one) ;)

The orange cabin light that illuminates the shifter, something that a lot of people don't even notice.

The wide, flat usable powerband - no spike of power only at high RPM, just smooth, consistent torque/hp. That's why a BMW can kill a car with higher spec horsepower.

What i like is that the grill is included within the hood. I hate when they make it separate and there's a line going through it. I think the new model 3's are going to be like this thats why the E46 looks the best.
That and what JaimeD22 said about the cabin light!
imho

If you look at his sig, notice there's no horizontal cut line btw the BMW roundel and the kidney grills. On other manufacturers, there's a cut line there that can ruin the flow. I think he's saying he likes how BMW does it.

-Probably the 3.0 liter engine's ability to push you back into your seat so hard (due to the very falt torque curve). Even my 280hp motor doesn't snap me back in my seat like a BMW 330.
-Another feature that I love is the 3-series' (and X5/E39 5-series) exterior looks that are pretty and classy, while being mean, aggressive, and sporty.

I didn't realize the 330 and 325 had different steering wheels. My friend's 330Ci felt the same from what I can remember.
the sport option includes the same steering wheel in the 325 and 330 but w/o the sport option the 330 uses a leather that has a rough surface. It just feels sooooooooooo good.

Oh yess! I noticed that on the evening I took delivery of the car and drove it 150miles home. I was impressed and thought it was such a cool and bright idea! I had often fumbled blindly in the dark for something around the console. [thumb]

I think my favorite feather is the cowl of an inline-6 that seems to be unique to BMW. And the OBC on mine - eh, I know it's almost 20 years old, but my previous car has nothing like it - Haha.
