Hey everyone, I’m excited to say that I just ordered a white SI coupe. While I know it’s really a dealer trade that’s getting it shipped to me rather than a purchase from the factory, I still get to wait some time while it is shipped here. My plan was to get one with the HFP package but once I realized it was a dealer installed option and that the dealer was asking $5000 for it I decided to pass on that. I hope in the future to build essentially the same look (conservative and oem) without spending the insane amount they were asking. My hope in the time between now and when the car arrives (week or two) I can find out a little more about the car.
I am coming from a 2008 E90 with the sport and cold weather packages so I will miss my power adjusting side bolsters, but while I have been unable to drive an Si as there are none anywhere near me, I am sure the sport seats will be great. Are there any common problems you guys and gals have run into on these? By this I more mean annoyances or shortcomings than mechanicals faults. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the sound system but heard similar things about the base sound system in my BMW which I found to be more than adequate for daily driving so I’m sur it will be fine. Also, if anyone has recommendations on what wheels to get, I plan on making the oem wheels winter wheels and getting a different set for my summer tires.
