Decisions, decisions...

So, I've decided to get a 335 coupe, black sapphire metallic with coral red interior. Going to get sports, premium, and cold weather packages, nav, iPod adapter, satellite radio and CA.

A couple of things I still need to figure out. Can't decide between the aluminum and the gray poplar trim. Also, since the Logic 7 is no longer standard on the 335, how much better is it than the stock stereo? Trying to figure out whether or not it's worth it.

Another thing...so far, I've test-driven the 335 RWD sedan, and the 335xi coupe, but not the 335 RWD coupe. I'm leaning towards getting the RWD, since there isn't much snow where I live, and my work commute isn't too challenging with respect to hills or roads that aren't likely to be cleared promptly. So I think the AWD is probably not worth it. But, I would like to test drive a RWD coupe before I make a decision. Still looking to do a deal by the end of the month.

Any advice would be welcome.

I really like the gray poplar in my 335 coupe. I have black on black. Love it. Aluminum seems a little bland for me, like you could see it in a Ford Focus as easily as in a 335.

I haven't had my 335 RWD in snow, but it is quite satisfactory in normal California conditions.

I've had some time to think about it, and I'm going with the RWD. Not enough snow out here to make the AWD worth it. I also think I'm going to get the gray (or is it grey?) poplar trim.

Still undecided on the logic 7, though.

I have mine in gray too. Well, both are good. If you are pure sporty go with the aluminum but if you want a bit of both luxury and sport, go with gray.

gray poplar is more classy IMO.

Practically speaking, it doesn't scratch as easy

The Logic 7 is worthwhile, particularly if you use iPods/iPhones and have HD radio in your area. Sounds very nice as well.

Logic 7 is well worth it.
