I got my E90 325i a few days ago and I’m in love. I really love this car. This is the second BMW I have owned but the last one was about 12 years ago. It was a 1990 735i and I loved that car too. I had to sell that car because I was younger and could not afford the maintenance but it did start my love for BMW’s. In between BMW’s I have owned Infiniti, Lexus, Mazda, Toyota and my last car before my E90 a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo that I still own. After I hade the 735i I was spoiled for life. Those other cars never gave me the BMW “feel”. It’s hard for me to try to explain to people that have not owned a BMW what that BMW feel is. I don’t think you can truly appreciate a BMW from just a test drive. You have to own one a drive it regularly to truly appreciate it engineering. The E90 my not be the fastest car in its class but I believe it’s the best balanced. For those of you that are undecided between the 325i and 330i, if you can spare the extra cash go for it. But if like me that I already went over my budget the 325i is certainly an outstanding car. I do not regret for one moment not getting the 330i.
