I test drove this on the weekend. Fun drive. As someone said on the forum, the alcantara steering wheel already looked a little worn despite the car having only 8600 miles on it. I'm not positive how they look like new but I imagine it looks like felt with a very homogenous surface. The one on the 330i had some wear at the 11-1 o'clock positions already. Not sure if it gets worse than that but if it stayed that way it wouldn't be too bad.
Dealer let me test drive it alone b/c he was with another customer then when I returned he simply asked if I wanted to buy it but I said I wanted to test drive the E90 330i first. He called me the next day to follow up and also told me that was the final price on the car (a hair under $34k). I didn't bother to counter b/c I wasn't that interested in it right now. Although AW looks good, I don't think white would be my first choice. Also I think the tan interior will be harder to keep clean as my friend had an E46 325cic with a light interior and there was always a new mark when I saw his car.
Maybe I will wait closer to the end of the month and see if it's still around. Anyone have any experience with this dealership? I know it's Cadillac but I thought I'd give it a shot.
