What are your thoughts on the BMW 325i?

I am just about to sign the deal on a Accord Coupe EXL 4 cyl.

I just found a Blue BMW 325i that looks sexy. Any thoughts or experiences?

i like the 325i, it has really sexy lines and its a bmw, its just sexy. great handling and tons of mods out there if you want to play with it.

unfortunately I am not going to play with a leased vehicle. I would really like to but it wouldn't be a good idea.

BMW is nice, I've seen some problems with them, but if it's a lease, problems aren't your concern then.

in that class I'd also consider the Audi A4 or a Volvo S60 in that price range.

The 325i isn't a great performer compared to the 330i. BMW is also restyling the 3-series for 2006 so you'll run into the same issues with the Jetta.

When I was looking for a car in 2003, I looked at BMW & found them to be priced about $10K higher than a comparable Audi. That's why I got my A4!

all three of those cars are in the 36-40k base price range, but start adding stuff like quattro on the audi and awd on the volvonad it's 40+ for those two

yeah i'd agree. the a4 is a pretty nice car, and i've been drooling over the s60r since it came out. such a sexy sexy machine that one is.

Go drive it. Way better then an Accord. 330i is a step up in many ways, but who cares. 325i is very nice especially with some options. I use to have a laoded 2000 BMW 328i. Very very nice. Lot's of bolt on mods too. Bolt on is good for leased vehicles!!!

Audi A4 is cheaper. Different handling etc. Awesome in the bad weather and snow. I now drive a 2001.5 Audi A4 1.8T. HUGE trunk. You can easily do two 15" infinite baffle on the rear deck if you're into that sort of thing
