325i vs 330i: which one to get?

[chraft]

Planning to get an E90. Can't make up my mind about which one to get. There is almost a 6K difference between the two. Are (40HP, Xenon Adaptive headlights, Logic 7 surround, driver memory) worth the additional 6K? In terms of HP, the E90 325i is comparable to the E46 330i. Should I get the E90 325i and add some non-performance options? Your thoughts?

Don't both cars have Xenons that swivel standard? Also the new 325i has almost as much hp but it has only 185 torque the current 3.0 has 214 torque big difference....

I would test drive both and if you like the 330i's extra ommmpf then get it, otherwise take the loaded 325i...

Xenons aren't standard. I know on the 325, it's an option.

I agree with BMW 325i 7803 tho. Test drive it. Some people don't need the extra power. My 325 feels kinda weak. I'd swing for the 330 if you can afford it. With the new engines, I dunno if that's necessary. Haven't test driven them myself yet but on paper, it looks promising. Still, that 185 torque does worry me. Seem a little low to be really satisfying.

Without a doubt the 330i if you are aiming for performance.
