I have another quick question. Do you guys think it is really worth paying the extra 5 or 6 thousand to go from a 325 to a 330? I know the 330 has a bigger engine and more features, but is it really worth paying that much extra? It will come down to what my needs are, yes, but I am wondering just exactly what else I am getting for putting in that much more into a higher model. Thanks again!

If you can afford it, I'd say yes. My 325 is absolutely great. THe only thing it's missing is power. My friend bought a 330ci 2 weeks after I got my car and after driving it around, I'd say it's just about perfect.

I can tell you from my own experience that I wish I would've done that . don't get me wrong the 325 is great and fun to drive , but the 330 has 45 more HP . I've been looking into performance mods for my 325 , 184 HP , and have found that with the cold air intake , exhaust , and downloads for the ECU I can barely reach 200hp. The 330 has 225 HP right out of the box . I wish I had a 330 . sounds stupid to me to spend thousands of dollars on mods for my 325 when I'll still come up 25 HP short of a stock 330 .

So if you 're a perf. enthusiast or like to just "zip" around alot go for the 330 . and why didn't I buy a 330 [???1] the selection here in hawaii isn't the greatest and I found a 325 Ci with all the options and the color I wanted
