Is 215 hp enough horsepower?

tl_boy · 03-28-2006, 05:52 PM

If you upgrade the 325i to meet the options standard on the 330i, the difference is a couple thousand. If you get extras like navigation, sports, etc. then the 325i can start becoming more pricey than a base 330i.

The best bargains are a base 325i with xenons or a base 330i. The 325i with xenons can be had for about 33k pre tax and 35k out the door. That puts it pretty damn close to an Acura TL.

Price difference is exactly 3g.

again, 325/330 arguement is so damn stupid and worthless.
Reading this thread, AGAIN, 325 owners started the same stuff again.
can we stop? please? Yes, ward and e90-4life. you two.

I know Sean! I read this and was like

"...I'm really beginning to wonder why one would ever by a 330?..."

Some people really live in lala land...I mean the 330 aint no rocket ship, but to say that, cmon!

No, it's not enough horsepower. Don't settle for anything less than 450 HP. The E90 is an old lady car. You can do better. Get the new Dodge Challenger with the Hemi.

for jeezmus chrismas sakes,

neither the 325 or 330 is fast

I pointed out the 325 runs out of breath while the 330 keeps pulling at higher RPMS, the 330 is faster. I'm not sure what you are looking for me to say. When comparing the 2 don't you think people should see the difference? (from my test driving the main difference was at higher RPM's while the difference between the cars was smaller at lower RPM's)

also the price difference is 2700 bucks (maybe you're just rounding to get 3000)

HRC · 03-28-2006, 06:25 PM

Ward, was lux refering to you? I didn't think so, but I dunno. I didn't see anything that you wrote to be smak talking, unlike the quote in part that I posted from another member above...

First we indulge in needless bitching that could have been avoided, then we start playing buddy bud? I'm seriously above water on this one.

ward · 03-28-2006, 06:41 PM

I don't know, people just get touchy on this one

just like RWD AWD, stick vs auto

can't we all just get along

(I was actually pretty impressed how civil this thread was so far!)

I think it's because most of us have been thru this argument like a million times. Pretty soon, you just don't care anymore what stupid people say. Tune it out...

talk about grown ups

If it's something you've been through before then it's just that much more imbecilic for you to indulge in the same damm thing again. LoL. I'm truly over this, but just had to point it out becasue of the clever insult you made.

It didn't get stupid until a few rotten apples started making it a heart felt discussion.

What can I say? I was stupid for buying a 330i, so why would it be any surprise to you that I'm acting stupid again? You know your right, why would anyone ever buy a 330i? Stupid.

E90-4life · 03-28-2006, 07:15 PM

And for Ward,

BMW has always made sports cars and nothing but.

- That may require some "thinking" to understand.

What we have here is failure to communicate..........

Isn't 325i and 330i the same car.........the average Joe won't know the difference!

If my math is correct, by age 28 or so you would have tried every car type out there. And then you can try motorcycles, there are so much fun and so fast... Followed by boats...

And then the fighter plane! I believe you can buy aged fighters from the military.

LMAO, this thread didn't become an emo fest til you and a handfull of others(fortunately I'm more mature than to stoop to your level of stupidity and throw pointelss and childish tyrades). If you wanna

your little heart out, be my guest.

wuufer001 · 03-28-2006, 10:38 PM

I used to drive a MB C320 with the same HP but having what i have now i am very pleased with it. Mine's a 325i M/T and it feels really great with power and handling. In my opinion i think you should go for it then maybe Dinan it later. Think twice before your decision.

also wasnt ever trying to compare the 325 to 330 just wanted to find out the info on the 325, i have no intention of buying the 330, if i was ever gonna go with the 330 i would get the lexus is350

Don't trip dude. It's not your issue to be concerned w/. Somehow a few babies made it in here and took a perfectly good conversation and turned it into something it wasn't ever intended to be. I don't know why it's difficult for some people to respect others ideas and or opinions no matter how different they may be from our own.

Where is the popcorn smiley when you need it?

Get what you want don't let the 325 vs 330 war bug you. It's been going on for ages.
