But it will do, the rims are different than those in the picture. Car was first production of 04's and they didn't come with the upgraded 18's (BMW upgraded the M-Package later). However, nothing Tunerworks can't solve:D

Thanks to Macolm aka. C4S from BMW Gallery for hooking me up on this sweet car. I know it is rather expensive but if you live once, might as well go crazy (maybe I should have picked up the real M3 then) but this fits into the budget nicely. 3.3% special rate oppose to 7.7% (normally for coupes) saves me almost $7000 over 3 years:eek: so that was pretty much the deciding factor.

Yah I also know I can get a faster car for half the price, or pay more for the C32 AMG but I am happy with my decision.

Car is automatic:rofl: I figure I play nice and let my dad drive it from time to time.

Weird thing is, BMW's I've owned have been auto where as my Honda's have been manual.

Just wanted to share my excitement with you all:thumbsup:

Just something interesting to think about, below are all 3 year leases

350Z Performance $941.65/month
G35 Performance $934.33/month
S2000 /month $837+taxes
WRX STi /month $974.42+Freight PDI+TAxes

The 330Ci, although loaded, and probably about $10K more all said and done, comes out with a lower payment than all of the above:D It's all about the 3.3% hehe

D'zNutz.....:rofl: I can no longer say I will keep it for so and so long......given my record hehe

Congrats Sam! Man, that's such a sweet car! I think it's a better choice than the RX8 for sure. Much bigger :bigpimp: factor!

That's insane that the payments are actually lower on the 330Ci. What is the monthly if you don't mind my asking? You could PM me if you don't want to post it up... Maybe it's time that I got myself into a BMW. :)

Congrats sam. Curious why you didn't go for the SMG tranny... it's available now in the 330ci is it not?

Man I didn't now C4S was a car salesman. My parents just bought a Mini Cooper, should've asked for the hookups!

Rage2: This car was on the lot and I bought it as is so the options with it were put on by BMW. If I wanted something else, I would have to order and wait 2-3 months for delivery. Oh well, SMG, Auto, I wouldn't know the difference:D

Superesc: I still have my RSX:D

Richard: Payments are about $900 (much lower if not fully loaded) but I feel much satisfaction knowing most of it is going towards principle than interest unlike the other cars I posted above. The residual is 60%, combined with the low interest rates, makes it a better deal :bigpimp:

This car is absolutely gorgeous, I know I've said this before but I think this one is here to stay haha

I can now join the Euro club :tongue:

Picked up the car today from Crowfoot Gallery today, C4S is the best salesman I've ever dealt with. I recommend him to anyone in the market for a Mini or BMW.

This car is so smooth and has all the luxury amenities I can only dream of. I am very happy right now!!

But my computer has a virus, shut down here we go again.....:(

but isnt the difference between a 330 and a 325 just a slight improvement in the hp and minor interior/exterior works?

the 325 and 330 are pretty different machines. The 330 actually has power and torque. .5L makes a very big difference. Other than that, most of the options and packages are the same with some subtle differences.

Go BMW!!!

Yah 330 has about 40 hp and 30llbs torque more, quite substanital and very noticeable :D

05-04-2004, 09:50 PM
Don't forget the 330 has bigger brakes, better tranny, etc...

how reliable are the new BMWs?

max_boost
05-05-2004, 01:54 PM
I think the engines are bullet proof......"think"

You get 3 years complimentary maintenance and 4 years for power train/major component. I think they will encounter more minor problems compared to other makes due to all the electronic gadgets, technology built in the car.

Who cares, pimp factor is unreal haha:bigpimp:

Congrats...super nice car.
E46 M sport....mmmm sooo nice.
I've got fond memories crusing in one once...the hp and torque difference from the 325 don't seem like much on paper, but its SOOOOO much faster than a 325.

Good luck w/ the car :thumbsup:

One of my friends (who actually knows Malcolm) told me Malcolm might be selling the his E36 M3?
