A 325 clevery disguised as a 330... It's actually the little ladys, so she really didn't need that extra HP... or extra $$ on the car payment. If it was my daily driver it would have been a different story.

About 6K and around 50HP difference... The 330 MOVES... the 325 is kinda quick, and still silky smooth and a great drivers car.

Ya a guy at school has a 330 coupe and its pretty nice. He thought hed be a badass though and try to pass the Caddy on the freeway but that wasnt happenen
They are great cars thow my dad swears by anyhting BMW.
When we lived in Tunisia he was in a car wreck in one, a 1990 or something 3 series no airbag the other guy died and he walked away.

What was the caddy? It had to be a CTS-V or something... that 330 should take any other caddy!

Out of those three cars, I have to pick the pewter Corvette. Some might say that Im crazy but I love all Vettes. The new 2006 Z06 Corvette with have 500 hp and 470 ft/lb of torque. The Ferrari F430 has 490 hp and 343 ft/lb of torque. The new vette is about $180,000 less than the Ferrari F430.

Why is that Surprising 0-60 on a 330 is 6.3 and an STS is 5.9.
It would have pulled the old caddy sls.
When i got my truck i had to pick between a 330 coupe a boxster and my truck, i went with the truck cause i could carry more people, speed wasnt that important to me.
If i hadnt picked the truck i prolly would have got the BMW its a sweet car.
Boxster is kind of a *** cruiser(sorry my opinion) for folks who want a 911. There still nice thow

Truth be known, I'd go for the new Z06 as well even if I had the money for the Ferrari. I've always had a thing for Vettes too but they were always out of my reach financially. When the C5 came out in 97 I knew I had to have one but it wasn't until recently that the prices came down enough for me to buy one. I paid $22k last month for the 98 with only 17.5k on the clock. It was a dream come true; a practically new 98 at a price I could afford.

A lot of people go for the Lightning for good reason when they want speed, power, and looks but for me a truck is more of workhorse but that's just my opinion.
