perfect for Ontario Canada then EH?
i have a 2005 330xi & 2008 335xi
not hype--does not get any better in the price range and then some
part & labor are expensive and the engine & drive train are tuned so perfectly if something is not perfect, you will know it
climbs Colorado Rockies w/Blizzaks ($550 from tirerack) like the road is dry

Mercedes drive like heavy cars.
BMW are tight tuned machinery.
Audi - not good value

one for wife (new 2008 lease); one for me (own 2005 b/c of mileage I put on)
the lease deal was just to good to pass-up
I disagree--it depends on driver skill (just disengage the DSC and its back to the stone age albeit better for highly skilled drivers) and the Subaru is not in the same league as the BMW nor the same target demo--
I prefer an automatic w/DSC on--in spite of 5 days at Skip Barber when I was younger....too much traffic and unexpected crap out there

once you go AWD
you never go back
you never go back
Eddy, if I had that dough, I would have gotten this, instead.
Still, highest rated car is 330 in its class.
you will get there--i did not get my 1st bimmer until I was 29

I think what he was sayin is BMW AWD tech. might not be where subaru and Audi are.
My mom owns a brand new Infiniti G35x AWD and it's awd is teh suck compared to my wifes subaru, I know this because the subaru use to be my parents car and they told me.
Audi and Subi's AWD systems are unsurpassed and have YET to be topped
BMW 330s w/awd are a much better all around car, performance, ammentities, trim, etc

I agree, but I think you'd get housed by an STI
I would say that a CLK500 would top a 325...it should!
I have a simple z3 and love it. Even my small engine will twist and turn those rear tires when I want to have fun.
I just meant the AWD on the BMW xi models doesn't add anything to the dry-weather performanced of the car. Well, I dunno about the E96 cars, but the E46 xi models had increased ground clearance compared to the 2wd models, a higher roll-center which made them not quite as good for everyday sport driving.
Now, if you NEED the AWD for snow, that's a different story.
yea, but in Colorado the state cops just love the WRX---the bmw (mine is silver) looks like any old sedan--but they see that hood scoop on the WRX and they find a reason to pull it over.
When did they ever make a turbocharged 330?
Sorry, the new 335i which replaced the old 330i. Anyway buying a used BMW is always tricky.

I used to own a 2002 325 coupe, loved the hell out of it.... now i drive a 94 325 coupe 
the Certified Pre-Owned is a good deal -- warranty is 6/100,000
They still make 330s don't they?

yup
Well then it wasn't "replaced" was it? "Supplanted" maybe...
