If your going as far as 25K, i woudn't think twice about which to pick, it would definitely be a 330Ci I have driven a friend's 2002 330ci, and quite frankly its the best car i've had the privelage of driving. Mind you, you will need to be a bit "computer bounded" , because theres more to it than just the driving and shifting, you got buttons all over the place that will drive you up the wall (metaphor :P ) The 325ci is simply smaller in engine size, and less "bulky" ...I think you know what I mean, you can see the 330ci is like the M3 , and looks like it floats over potholes and bumps - (which it virtually does) Just take your time, remember its a lot of money, so make sure you throw it somewhere that will make you happy. ------------- BMW 318i 1998 - Silver |

the 330 and the 325 are exactly the same if you buy the ci and / or sport its just the engine bore size and bhp/torque figure thats different and nothing else .
325 192bhp 0-60 7.2 330 231bhp 0-60 6.5 . that is all . 
up to you but for the money get a 330ci ------------- just a little crazy. My drive E46 M3 COUPE [MAN]CARBON BLACK GREY LEATHER H/K 19"s LED REARS S/B. |

| My father recently bought an 02 325ci . He's had it about 9 months . The only problem he's had was with the fuel gauge . Apparently , when you run low on juice , it's meant to tell you how many miles you've got left before the tank is empty and also the indicator light comes on . This didn't happen to him . Instead the warning came on that he had about 30 miles left before empty , and then stopped . Yep , out of juice . Fairly common problem apparently but easily fixed . |
