325ci or 330ci which is a better buy & and why....?

Just wondering what your input was on the 325ci vs 330ci :)

You have to make that decision for yourself. For me, the extra power and bigger brakes were worth the difference. Everyone has their own idea of what constitutes value.

Yup, do it right the first time. I wish I had gotten the 330Ci instead...it would have only been about $90/month extra. Totally worth it cos you get lots of other goodies in the car, lumbar support and the HK system, titanium trim around the guages, and headlamp, etc, etc.

For me, the fact that it was a coupe was the main selling point. Oh, and the sport seats. I've got the 2.5L and for the traffic I am in, 3L would just frustrate the heck out of me (OPEN ROAD GIVE ME OPEN ROAD!!!). But, having said that, how often are you going to get to use that extra 0.5-0.8 seconds going from 0 to 100 KPH? HK equipment, including home stereo systems have always (for me anyways) taken a little while for my ears to get used to that "flat" sound. Listening pleasure comes in the coloring provided by the speakers and amps. I've found HK stuff always puts the "high" or "treble" adjustment in the wrong spot of the frequency range. Perhaps their Q is not as wide as the rest, but then I haven't got them golden ears.
