Picked up a 2004 325xi yesterday from Thompson. 38XXX miles, CPO car. Purs like a kitteh :mrgreen:. I'm going to be putting my stock 19's and steering wheel from my M3 on this thing, potentially the suspension as well if it fits.

It doesn't really do anything for me in pictures. I'm certainly going to test drive one when they are a bit more available, but unless it's really jazzy I'll pass for something nicer a year or so from now. It's been getting mixed reviews. Many are stating that it's lost some road and steering feel, which has been fantastic in the current/previous models. We'll see...

Needed something comfortable, 4 door, leather, all wheel drive, and comprehensive warranty. That being said, I was looking at this model as well as a used 2004 G35 Sedan. Both in the mid/low 20s. If I had my way, I would have a Toyota Yaris as a daily driver. I would have certainly gone more frugal if I wasn't using it to entertain C-level and V-level clients.

(Car allowance helps also)

It's a coupe, like 4k now. I have no idea when he's going to part with it. I especially don't know now since 1k have been recent miles, ever since our friend Mario picked up his new 911 turbo they've been going out for cruises more often.

Only 4k? What year is it? That car needs to be driven more.
