Looking into a 335

wstc · 04-15-2009, 02:31 PM

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking into getting a e92 335i, but I got a few questions hopefully you guys can help me with. (Hopefully nothing I ask has been answered yet, tried the search, but couldn't find anything)

I've decided on the M-sport package, and I'm currently debating over the Executive package. I played with my friend's e93 335i recently, but that raised a few concerns for me.

I noticed that his driver's side sport seat would only recline to about 55 degrees, and his passenger side sport seat would recline to about 70. I'm not sure if this is just his car, or the way it is with all e9x, but with my e46 330i m-sport (manually adjustable) I'm able to recline all the way till my seat back touches the rear seats. So is this the case with all e9x's?
If so, anyone here know if it's possible to get manual sport seats with the M-sport package?

Also, is there anyway to get the CA to open both doors for the coupe? My friend and I combed through his manual, but couldn't find anything that would let him do that. Kind of destroys the point of CA imo, if I have to get my key out to unlock the door for my girlfriend every time we get to the car.

Other than that, I'm pretty stoked, my e46 has treated me well, but it's time to move on

Don't have the manual in front of me but if I recall, if you touch the handle twice, it will open the passenger door.

The sedan's CA can be set to open all four doors, and it can be done from the passenger's side of the car. All you need do is put your hand "into" the handle once. I don't know why the coupe would be any different.

Regarding the seats folding down: 55 degrees, 70 degrees, who cares? You probably can't drive it that way. Or are you planning on sleeping in the car?
