You forgot about the electric windows controls which are way too far you always press the rear window button instead

As a BMW fan since I was 4 and owner of an E34 ('95 5 series... yeah, I'm into classics), allow me to add some points to your complaints. 1. Fully agree on the dipstick, but don't blame BMW, blame the industry and stupid drivers. Tens of thousands of car engines seize up every year in Britain alone, just because people never checked their oil level. This led to lawsuits, customer complaints and expensive repairs. Many manufacturers gave up the dipstick in favor of sensor because they could check the DME and tell the customer "you ran with low oil levels for the past x miles, so no warranty claim for you buddy boy". And sorry, if I were in BMW's shoes, I'd do the same. 2. The fuel consumption gauge is a traditional BMW feature since the '80s, before you had the luxury of computers averaging out your consumption. This feature is very useful, especially when you are driving at steady speed. In the older models, the needle would pass the the maximum consumption mark and tuck under the cluster to the point it was not visible when you were at idle, this meant you have almost no consumption. The owner manual says the gauge is accurate to some extent, only after 20km/h and it tells you how economically you are driving. In my previous diesel E30 and E34, I actually found by looking at it, that I get better mpg doing 2500rpm than doing 1800rpm. In my now petrol engine, it shows around 9 liters/100km on the highway, and that's pretty much what I get if I make the calculation on paper, based on how much I put in it. So yes, it's very handy. The M models don't have that gauge, they have a oil temp indicator. Far more useful to me personally. 3. Maintenance is more expensive if you service it at a dealer and buy OEM parts for it. This is far worse in US for sure, in Europe, some labor and parts costs are not much different than a VW or Audi and some parts, especially non-oem are even cheaper than on some consumer cars made by the like of Citroen or even Skoda. Keep in mind that most BMW parts are usually of a higher quality, designed for less tolerances. Radiators are bigger than on most cars, the engines have better, more complex technology, etc. For example my 95 E34 has coil packs for each spark plugs and hydraulic clutch, dual mass flywheel and many technical advances which in many other cars like Toyota's and VW were not present at the time. Quality and that driving feel doesn't come cheap. If you think BMWs are expensive, get yourself a Mercedes S class or even some Alfa Romeos. Coolant DOES NOT have to be bought from the dealer. It's recommended again due to warranty claims and yes, it's true. Improper coolant CAN corrode your cooling system, leading in time to a critical engine failure. With that said, you can buy blue coolant from other brands, especially those which they list "BMW" on the back of the label. That's what I'm using without problems. For 10$ extra, like you said, it's not even worth it. 4. Wipers can be complicated... I guess, never tried an E90, but I never heard any of my friends complain about it. Even cars from the '90 had a secondary function to the wipers, where you could set the frequency of the wipers yourself, and they could adjust based on your road speed. Just read the owners manual, you'll find loads of tricks you never thought your car had. 5. Cup holders are a complaint, mainly from US, since in Europe we drive, that's it. It wasn't popular here to order a Big Mac with a large coke while cruising to work for a 2 hour drive.Not much attention was put into cup holders back in the day. Older models didn't have a cup holder at all, where US cars had them since the decades. I don't have cup holders, don't need them, don't want them, don't care for them. 6. Run flats suck. But again, don't blame BMW, blame the industry and customers. Why? because BMW needs to save space in the boot. Why? because many people say "hey, look! the Audi A4 has 460 liters of trunk space, BMW only has 420! I'm getting the Audi instead!" without considering that the Audi has a space saver tire in the back and BMW has a full spare, for example. This gets worse for BMW because they have rear wheel drive and large fuel tanks. This means they have to accommodate for large differentials on the rear axle, where other FWD competitors don't suffer from that. So yes, they went that direction as well, in order not to lose potential buyers. It's a shame, that's how it is. Run flats suck anyway. BMW's should be equipped with proper tires anyway. Cheers and hope you enjoy your car for many years.

A truthful, humble, down to earth BMW owner. My friend, you are a unicorn among BMW owners. Thank you for your honesty & candor.

I like this guy. He seems very honest and cool.

BMW engineers don't worry about cup holders. When you are cruising on the Autobahn at 150 MPH, you don't need to be drinking coffee.

things I don't like about my car : I don't have a car :'(

You realize the instantaneous mpg gauge is accurate. You're accelerating. You think you're getting better than 12MPG? And when you let off the gas pedal you are definitely getting over 50MPG. You're coasting...

1. No dipstick: yeah that's dumb. My E46 has one. 2. Real time MPG: It's better with L/100km as that's what it originally was designed for. As for its usefulness... ehhh. It's been there since 1981's 5 series so it's probably just tradition 3. Maintenance: How often do you have to buy coolant? But yeah maintenance is expensive if you use the stealership. Do some wrenching yourself or find an independant mechanic you trust, buy the unbranded but BMW OEM parts online, keep up with *preventative* maintenance and it's not so bad at all. Either learn about your car or get taken for a ride by the dealer. In the past year all I've had to do besides an oil change is replace the 10 year old battery and top up the AC. Almost 190,000 km and runs just dandy. 4. Steering wheel stalks: I have no idea what you're talking about here lol. Might be different on an E90 but I doubt it'd be confusing. 5. Yeah the cup holders on the E90 are shit plain and simple. Even worse on the E39. The E46's are... serviceable, I guess. 6. Runflats: They suck.

Justin, I have a 2006 330i and I agree with everything you mentioned - except the wiper stalk, not confusing to me, push up = more wipe, push down = less wipe, push down when off = one wipe, but I always use the auto too! :) Some reviews mention the "mushy feel" of the stalks - but I find that they work well and exactly as designed. The ergonomics are that you can accomplish what you need with one touch - less distraction from driving. Signal lane change = one tap up/down => 3 blinks. Turn on wiper = one tap up (no knob to fiddle with). No need to move hand away from the wheel, just touch with the finger tip. Very few functions require holding the control in a position for very long. I would add these to the list of dislikes: Drive Off assist is too sensitive and engages when it shouldn't. It is active even on level ground, dealer says it's correct. Car always lurches when stopping and lurches when starting. No way to feather the brake pedal to a smooth stop. Separate A/C controls and no sync button to adjust temp with one knob. I have yet to figure out interaction between seat memory and key fobs. Also, wholeheartedly agree to always have car inspected by dealer before you buy one. Mine had a couple of expensive leaks! But I love driving it! (PS use Zaino polish to keep it looking sharp!) Also, I put on all season Conti DWS tires. Thanks for the vids. Toby

The real time fuel consumption needle is a BMW trademark pal :P

One more thing, if you need to buy parts for your E90, buy from FCP Euro, they have a lifetime warranty on everything they sell. Every year I replace my wiper blades, cabin filter, engine air filter, oil filter, etc...I buy the parts from them, send back the old worn stuff and I get my money back. All their parts are OEM or BMW Original. Check them out.

The windscreen wipers are easy to use, i never confuse the steering wheel stalks... and the realtime mpg is pretty accurate, it shows how much mpg's you are running at THAT time.

IF you want to drive a QUALITY car, YOU just gotta PAY what it takes !

the wipers are easy I have never mixed the cc with the hi been brill car nice video

What do you mean the mpg is not accurate? Real time mpg seems accurate from the description you gave and same for average mpg.. I don't think you understand their meaning.

It's fine having an oil level gauge on the dash coming from a sensor, but there should definitely be a dipstick as a backup to check the sensor is working correctly.

They have small cupholders cuz only in Murica do we drive with XXXL Diet Cokes 😂😂😂

Regarding the G gauge... yes in US you have it like 1 gallon / X miles. (what is not accurate and hard to count, etc...) But BMW is from Germany, where we have metric system, so it shows how many litres of petrol/diesel it takes for 100 km. For us (metris system users) it is far more accurate and sometimes useful...

realtime mpg gauge is doing what it's suppose to do. I have it on my car as well, i really pay attention to stepping on the GAS now.

Hhahahaah kept laughing everytime That's that sht I don't like came up and then back to his face! Great video!

"if you're the typer of person that loves to have a huge drink, you're probably gonna have a problem with this car"

I don't know why you're getting so many dislikes on this video. I liked it, and agree with your criticisms. Oh, and your car looks sick. Love the wheels and blacked out grill. Fog lights look great too. :-)

Love the Chief Keef interludes lol.

I sort of agree on the maintenance. The run flats are one of the first things I got rid of, the problem I have with the indicator stalk is it doesn't 'click' back when it auto cancels so you sometimes don't realise it's cancelled itself. The wipers have too many intermittent settings and I'm constantly fiddling with the wheel thing trying to get the exact right setting. Other than that, love it!

I think the mpg needle is more of a reminder than an accurate gauge. Gives you a visual reminder that you are wasting fuel by stomping your foot down. Its also a part of their heritage. Porsche too.

I think most of the people buying BMW'S don't really realize what they're getting themselves into buying these cars. Maintenance is key to these cars and most of the used ones at a "cheap" price or below average price are ones being neglected and abused and then sold when something happens to it and they can't afford the reapir(s) so they sell it for "cheap" and even though my 2001 BMW 330i is old I'm still OCD about it and constantly replacing and fixing stuff so I can ensure that my car isn't neglected in any way.

7. Everybody automatically assumes i'm a douchebag and flips me off because i'm a 19 years old driving a black BMW. At least that's the way it is in Italy

Wipers: Fairly easy really. Press up for normal rain wipe. Press up twice for fast (=crazyfast for monsoon rain!) continuous wipe. Press button on end of stalk to switch on intermittent wipe. The sliding wheel in the middle of the stalk changes the interval of the intermittent wipe (from gaps of about 1/2 second between wipes, up to about 6-8 seconds). Press down for a single set of 2-3 wipes of the screen (which will also cancel other modes). Pull stalk towards you for screen wash, which will also wipe the screen a few times. Or, as you say, just leave it in automatic. I don't have auto wipers on my car, but I don't see this setup as any more confusing than any of the other cars I've owned. I like the fact it slows down the wipers if you come to a standstill, then reverts back when you set off again. I certainly agree that the run-flats really give a harsh ride, and are way too expensive compared to regular tyres, however I suspect my view might change if I or the Mrs ever get a puncture on a country road in a rainstorm. Most other manufacturers that have ditched the spare wheel for weight saving/distribution or simple penny-pinching reasons just give you a can of tyre sealant for emergencies.

why so many dislikes ? dont get it

BMW e90 has been one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. They key is to stay on top of of your maintenance and you're good. I baby the hell out of my car. Lol

Love this guy, I'm Colombian, the next couple weeks i'm going to buy the 325i 2009, and now i have all the information i needed! PERFECT!

from e87 experience wipers are as follows: nudge them up: slow speed , press harder upwards till they click: fast speed , pull the knob towards your self: they swipe twice and stop. to go from fast speed to slow: nudge down and to turn off: press down until the click.

mines an 09, i still havent figured out the wiper stalks on my 535 lol

Your videos have great potential. Just be more enthusiastic in your videos and yep that's all! I have great hopes for you that one day you'll be a big youtuber!

You missed out the biggest flaw of your E90 330xi: the keyless system. It's a public secret that you can open/close (and thus bypass the stock alarm) with 3rd party radio devices. Moreover, once the car is unlocked and the alarm is off, you can then duplicate the key (using the OBD2 interface), again with 3rd party devices. BMW flat out denies that this is a problem (at least in Europe), but the fact is that they chose to keep the OBD2 interface operable even without a key. It would have helped to at least have a option to make the OBD2 unusuable without a key, preventing criminals from copying it. I strongly advice all BMW owners with the keyless system to disable their OBD2; just tell your dealership how to enable it again, as of course it's needed for diagnostics. And unless you're tuning your car or do your own maintenance, you probably don't need the OBD2 at all (only the maintenance shop). I suggest your search the web or talk to a mechanic on how to disable the interface; there are many ways to do it, and one if slightly easier to enable or install than the other. Finally: i agree with your list, although for a few of your problems, they created the acronym "RTFM" :-) cheers.

maintenance is expensive, although u could save a few bucks by buying regular coolant from autozone, just ask them which one is for BMW and thats it, no need to buy the same one with a BMW label for more money

Also an annoying thing tha BMW's don't have indicators. Maybe that's why the owners don't use them.

😂 surprised me with that Sosa part

I own a classic 1985 535i. Owned it since 2001 and still does not need brake pads replacement. If you do the repairs yourself you save a TON of money. Parts are not more expensive than a Toyota and I doubt Toyota parts last 25 years or more as they do on my car. I just replaced the water pump, the original one. About 300K miles on original engine, more fun to drive and has better acceleration than many new cars. Very reliable and cheap to own....yes from time to time I have to replace things like the radiator, battery, hoses,...etc. but overall, more reliable than most other cars and a lot more fun.

The rainsensor aren't complicated, its pretty easy. Pushing the lever up changed between no wiping, wiping and speed wiping, the "speed" tab is just setting the sensitivity of the rainsensor when you push the auto button.

I loved how my E46 needed something fixed every couple weeks, that's why it's someone else's car now.

My wife's BMW came with run-flat tires. They wear off very quickly, and they cost $500 each to replace! The brakes cost 3+ times more to replace than on my Toyota Highlander (1200 VS 380). BMW is just a really poor value unfortunately.

The most annoying things are not having a dipstick, no engine coolant temp gauge to warn you of potential engine damage BEFORE it's becoming an issue, an electric water pump (no mechanical fail safe) and stiff run flat tires that sacrifice ride quality.

The random cheif keef pop ups had me crackin up. good video.

The 6 things I hate about my BMW - B M W B M W

You're just not snobby enough for a BMW... that's all. And when you buy a BMW - you don't need cupholders. Eyes on the curves now. I personally find the cup holder perfect for my 8oz espresso. Cheers.

great video. I agree with everything except the cupholders part. I LOVE that the cupholders don't encourge garbage collecting (tissues, gum wrappers, empty bottles) It makes for a clean interior look. You really should refrain from drinking things anyway. That's a very "American" thing.

the instant mpg gauge is just hooked up to a vacuum line. when vacuum is created when accelerating the gauge goes down and when you let off the vacuum goes away and the gauge goes back up

What i don't like about that car is that it's not mine

What's the deal with 2 naked gay guys dancing and singing?

Totally love mine too BUT it also has a noise in the cabin that will never go away. It seems to be a subtle "creeking" from the dashboard when the car shimmies over rough roads or bumps.

I'd like to add three things... 1. It's thirsty for oil. My E90 325i took a liter per 5000km's 2. No engine temp gauge 3. The side mirrors on the models before the facelift are way too small for tight reversing and parallel parking.

We have such similar dislikes! If you want to see what these cars are capable of, or if you want to just watch someone hoon the shit out of there bimmer check out my channel

Just a tip, do not run staggered set on an XI awd. Transfer case will go. Big $$$$

if you still haven't found out about the screen wipers (which i doubt): 1x up = Normal 2x up = Fast Down = Off or manual wipe Pulling it towards you explains itself The scroller is actually the sensor's sensitivity: on the bottom it barelly wipes and on top it wipes when even the slightest dust particles hits your windshield. i mostly drive on 2nd from the bottom. hope this helped! ;)

I gotta respect the guy for at least trying to find this stuff for future buyers (hopefully including myself)

Don't forget the electric water pump.

Beautiful car!

The realtime needle is for Highway use. It comes in handy over 65 mph, probably at 25 mpg, which is in the middle of the gauge. I like it myself.

Keep up the videos man, i love em. Its refreshing to watch someone who isnt full of themselves.

i got a 2011 335 got it with 4000 miles on it.. what i hate about my car is the rust build up on the break calipers, drums etc..

are two dancing guys also happy BMW owners :-)

How's your cooling system doing? Usually a low coolant warning is an indicator of a failing cooling system. Probably a leaking expansion tank. Usually around the age of your car a cooling system refresh needs to be done as a preventative measure. Usually this includes replacing belts, hoses, thermostat, expansion tank, sometimes water pump. Might want to look into it if you haven't already. In the long scheme of things as far as BMW maintenance goes this is relatively inexpensive. Usually under $300 for the parts and easy enough that you and a friend could get it done in a few hours. If you are ever in a pinch and need coolant immediatly. You can either get some from the dealer or buy Zerex G05. Zerex G05 is the same as the BMW coolant (Zerex makes BMW coolant The only difference is that the Zerex coolant is yellow and BMW is blue. Really have to be careful with cooling issues on these cars. It doesn't take long to blow the head gasket on these engines. Sometimes just minutes of overheating. Yeah cup holders are always an after thought in BMWs. Germans don't eat or drink in their cars. They smoke cigarettes in them though. Go figure :) I have an E46 and there are only 2 cup holders and one of them is under the arm rest.

I own a 330xd e90 and after checking out wheels options I upgraded to 18" also ( BBSs ) for my summer wheels. However, after talking to several BMW specialists I chose 225/40/18 ( non-RF ) for all four wheels to avoid stress on the X-Drive systems. Still, during this winter I had the original 17" rims with 225/45 RF winter tiers ( GoodYear for front and Continental for back ) and it wrecked the X-Drive in about 10.000 km ( the mechanical parts in the central diff ). Based on my experience, I would advise you have a chat with a BMW dealership so you avoid a similar headache because of different specs in tires.

6 Things i HATE about my BMW: Reliability Issues Reliability Issues Reliability Issues Reliability Issues Reliability Issues Reliability Issues

Wow.. You're informative but totally vacant.

The mpg gauge is accurate, if you were traveling at that same speed with the same fuel consumption you can easily calculate current mpg. Takes a lot more energy to accelerate than to coast so when accelerating that is why it says 12mpg, and 60mpg when you are coasting assuming you can keep that speed with the same amount of work needed to drive the car. i dont have a bmw but i do have a g37, and the bar too goes up and down depending on how hard i am accelerating, its still useful to help choose the best gas throttle to accelerate efficiently without slowing people behind you as much

I bought a 2006 325xi in January. Craigslist $4800, incredible steal. Should have been nearly twice that. The runflats had been replaced, but my pedantic BMW buddy says no on those anyway. As far as cupholders? Yes, the two pop-outs in the dash are trouble--but there's a refrigerated holder inside the armrest and two that pop out of the rear armrest when it's folded out from the back seat--close enough to reach. The computer monitoring of everything takes some time to learn--especially since it had no owners manual.

I own a E 36 and the cup holder is useless!!! Not one fucking cup fits!!!! I can't even have a plastic water bottle!!!

Did you die after this? Get some energy man, and ytour vids will be great :D

Keep in mind BMW coolant is concentrate. The dealer also gave me 10% off with just asking so I paid $22.39 plus tax. Add a dollar for distilled water and you have 2 gallons with a 50/50 mix. Zerex G-05 would be the closest and $18.00 for concentrate at most part stores. I think if you dig a bit deeper into the vehicle maker formulary requirements, the coolant debate is way over blown and you would be fine with sticking with a same same formula (HOAT for BMW) however BMW coolant for a little over $4 more is a no brainer and will reduce selection anxiety. If you own a BMW, buy a gallon so your not forced to buy aftermarket when in needed due to the dealership being closed.

I have an e90 325i and I also share your sentiments about the dipstick and cup holders. I would also add that, my passenger cup holder, the one that comes strait out has stopped popping out when pressed. Additionally, the passenger seat occupancy sensor has failed, resulting in either a $155 seat mat replacement (not happening) or buying a dummy sensor box off amazon so that the airbag does actually deploy in all situations instead ($80 seems like a steal at this point). I have 98k miles and also have replaced the thermostat due to it being stuck open ($200? or so). The valve cover is leaking oil, not much, quarter of a quart in 5k miles, and also and will need to be replaced.

Two things I don't like about your BMW, it's pre LCI and it's not a 335!!!

ahh.. it's funny to see how Americans can't live without cup holders

As a son of an MIT graduated Aerospace Engineer... No Dipstick No Buy... And BTW the coolant thing is not true, my best friend races track BMWs on the weekends they run regular anti freeze bmw is relabeled thats all.. dont let them trick you.

Agree, wiper stalk is confusing. Why is BMW the only remaining car manufacturer to insist on putting those crappy fun flats on their otherwise great vehicles?

#firstWorldProblems

Sell your car and buy an Audi you will be happy.👍

Also, the coolant is concentrated you have to make the 50/50 mix with distilled water yourself...

If we are nitpicking, I hate the upper AC vents on top of the dashboard. They should have a lever to open/close or they should not be there at all.

that Song is terrible!

I've found a great solution for cupholder problems in any car. If it's 2.5 inch opening for the cup for example buy a PVC connector reducer/expander that will increase the diameter from 2.5 to 3 inches for example. Then you can make the expander taller with a piece of three inch pipe. Use epoxy glue on the pvc pipe. Get the PVC parts that get the best fit possible. Then spray paint the cupholder you've made to the color you desire. To make the part fit its best buy sticky rubber 8x11 sheets made of many colors from any craft store for about $2 and wrap that sticky paper around the base to get a nice tight fit. I keep a variety of holders in my trunk buddy depending on the shape needed. Using a PVC tee you can expand a single cup holder into a dual one as well. Also if you really want to be efficient buy a cup that you like that fits your design the best and pour your drinks into that cup. Realize it is impossible to make an inexpensive cup holder designed to hold the thousands of types of cups people like to use. So in the end unless you luck out and you want to drink beverages while you drive invest a little time with PVC and make the perfect holder for that car. One cup holder costs less than $10 to make before your labor. And then sit back and enjoy. Expect to get a lot of comments and requests for you to make one for your passengers car. It could be a good little business.

Right on. The missing dipstick is really frustrating sometimes. For all the headaches, I still love my BMW more than I hate it. LOL Edit:I just notice this post is from 2015!!

Regarding the real-time gas mileage gauge. That actually IS what it's using. Car's don't get 25mpg, they typically get 5mpg accelerating and 40mpg cruising rarely does it sit in the middle.

Maintenance is the only thing that makes me hold back on getting a 2007 BMW 323i, especially the cost since I only work part time for now and its gonna be my first car

The instant MPG gauge will show you instant mpg when the speed of the car stabilizes. Not so much when accelerating from a stop, etc.

After being in Europe for a while, I realized why european cars like BMW and Mercedes have small cup holders. They sell small drinks and they don't have huge cups. It's weird but they should definitely make the cup holders to fit larger sizes

Appreciate the video. Real time MPG is very very accurate. Especially when you're on a freeway. Wipers are extremely easy to use and I would honestly suggest looking at owner's manual to familiarize yourself with all of functions and how to use. German engineers make the best and to operate the best it requires best parts so yes more expensive antifreeze will be required. But then again please find a BMW with a cracked head gasket at 50,000 miles like happened to me on my grand prix. Old saying goes you get what you pay for and this definitely is the case with cars as well.

Good Vid Bro! keep up the good work!!

Good vid. My '01 Mercedes C320 (w203) doesn't have a dipstick either. There's a pipe coming up from the oil pan where the dealership pumps the oil out for an oil change (I just drain it from the bottom). I've seen an aftermarket dipstick online that replaces the cap on that pipe. It was around $80 though! You may be able to find something like that for your car and considering BMW has a much larger aftermarket it may be cheaper.

That instant mpg gauge might be more accurate than you think. The Olds Aurora that I used to drive had a digital one. Unless you drive like a total granny (which I actually tend do), seeing it dip down close to or below 10 while accelerating from a stop was not unusual. Foot on the floor will yield a solid 1 ;). It would shoot up past the max reading of 99, while coasting from cruising speed. Check what that gauge is sitting at while cruising on the freeway.

Trust me, the fact that you cannot physically check the oil is a consideration for NOBODY when buying a car. It is something you might find curious or whatever, but it is not like 'god, I really wanted that car soo badly - but shame, no dipstick, no purchase...' That literally never happens.

I like this dude! He reminds me of Alyson Hannigan in American Pie. "This one time at band camp............". I bet he is wild AF! I love when I see textbook white looking people that don't look like they would be into hip hop music!

100% agree with every item you mention. Especially the waste of instrument space on the mpg dial.

the instant mpg is acurate,when you hit the gas it goes to 12 because it is using more fuel to acccelerate,when you slow down,engine is usinng far less fuel,so it goes to 50+,and it's called instant mpg because it show's you the mpg at the moment,and it's actualy usefull when you want to set your speed on a low fuel consuption.windscreen wiper is also easy to use...

The wipers are pretty easy to control. I've got a 2000 model 3 series. Basically there are 3 wiper settings going up. The dial on the stalk is useful in the 1st setting. It adjusts the speed of the wiper to deal with light showers that are a bit too heavy for the base L1 setting but too light for the L2 setting. It has one down setting (ie below the neutral or wiper off position) that moves the wipers once only then goes back to the off position.

the dial on the windshield wiper stock is for the automatic wiper sensitivity

I like my instant MPG gauge... it's a L/100km gauge, but does the same thing. It allows me to understand the fuel consumption of my car under different conditions. Maybe it's different on mine because it's diesel, but I keep an eye on that thing a lot...

Real time MPG shows the driver how different driving styles can immediately effect fuel consumption. It's a fantastic way to promote economical driving.

I have the exact same car :) 2006 E90 330xi and yeah those cup holders are brutal, they look cool because they are retractable but cant hold anything larger than a soda can safely.
