How's the glare? My dad's E60 has a dash overhang above the iDrive which keeps it totally glare free. Some newer cars I've driven with totally exposed screens are borderline unusable at certain times of day.Originally Posted by fredo

BP, not very useful IMHO. Just part of the cool factor.
704sw, I didn't notice glare issues so far.

I have had no issues with glare whatsoever on the numerous F30 loaner cars I've had.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Good to know. The two F30 loaners I've had were both during very cloudy/rainy weather. It looked to me like they have some kind of anti-glare screen, but I couldn't really tell.

Congrats on the sweet purchase! I love 335's. Someday I'd like to get my hands on a clean e90 or a newer one like yours.

Thanks, Zach. Me too, I would like to own an e90 335i LCI someday.

I will buy tires some time soon. I'm thinking about Michelin Primacy MXM4. They are on the Saab and I'm still happy after 35,000 miles. They have a 55,000 miles warranty.
The car came with staggered tires. I can't explain why, since the wheels are non-staggered: tires are supposed to be 225 45 R18 all around. Currently the rears are 245 45 R18. I will go 225 45 on all corners and benefit from tire rotations.
DIscount Tire will match the Tire Rack price plus shipping which comes to $910 OTD. There's a rebate going on for $70 so that brings the final price to $840.
