$20,000 should get you a decent 2008 328i sedan with automatic transmission and some options. If you want it, you should be able to find one with the sport package. The price of a used BMW takes a big drop when the new-car 4 year warranty runs out. Getting one that is still in warranty may be out of your price range.


A good 335i is probably out of your price range. A 328i with a manual accelerates well. The autobox is a bit slower, but not bad.
