325i vs 330i
Need a reality check here.
I've driven both cars, manual transmission, sport package. Obvious differences aside, subjectively speaking the 330i feels like a more substantial and quieter car. It could be my imagination, but I wonder if anyone else shares my experience.
According to BMWNA specs, the 330i weighs more, and the only noted differences are the increased brake size and the heavier-duty transmission. I'm wondering if part of that weight increase is also due to greater sound insulation, etc.

Standard options. Power seats alone account for a good 50 pounds.
Which is why I'd try to find a way to have them removed were I buying a 330i. Power seats are slow, never seem to adjust right, and have a nasty tendency of breaking as the car ages. Manual for me, please.

Quote: | Could be, just doing a reality check. You driven both? | Yes. Two of my sales people opted for 330i. I went 325i. At first they were both very "proud" of thier faster cars. One has changed his mind and the other is starting to I think. She is just stubborn. Both great cars. They are the same though except for the brakes and the slight difference in the drivetrain/motor. They should feel the same if eqipped the same.

I test drove both (both stick), and I absolutely felt a difference in power. The 325 had decent power for a new sedan, the 330 had very good power. My mind was made up 10 seconds into the test drive - went for the 330 and haven't regretted it one bit.
