GOING TO BUY A BMW! Need help ASAP 328i coupe or 330i?!!? I don't know which help me!
Ok here is the info both cars have no bad title, no accidents nada!
Okay 330i sedan 2006 330i sedan: Mileage: 40,000 still under warranty this car is not from a BMW dealership Has Cold/Sport/Premium Packages... No CA No Nav No silly lil options like that. Comes with Logic 7 Ambient Lighting...ect.. all the other nice stock options Oh 255hp engine Steptronic Transmission Interior color: Terra Exterior color: Alpine White Nice things about this car is the NON BMW Dealership sells a bunch of European cars including Aston Martins! The dealer sounds very representable 2007 328i coupe: Mileage: 33,000 still under warranty this car is not from a BMW dealership Has Sport/Premium Packages Options has Front Headlight Washers No Nav Not sure yet if it has CA?? Not sure if these come with Logic 7 sound Oh 230hp engine Manual Transmission Interior color: Grey Leather Exterior color: Charcoal Grey Don't know much about the dealership they sell any used cars, chevy, honda, trucks ect... But the car has 33,000miles plus it is still under BMW warranty soo ya still safe Car prices are very close to eachother.... Only problem is I DON'T KNOW WHICH TO GET?!?!??!?!??! I want the 330i cuz it is well Fully Loaded in my terms! Has nice Steptronic Transmission for when I'm lazy... Nice interior color plus exterior, As well another big thing THE POWER! It is faster then a 328i correct?!?!?! I was told the 330i can do 0-60in 5.6 I want the 328i coupe well because its a COUPE!!! Also like the fact that its a stick for when I feel well showing off, don't like it though cuz I do get lazy, plus I can't put paddle shifters later... Like the exterior color interior eeh its kind of plain... Don't like the fact that it isn't as well optioned as the 330i...And I just don't know if I'm going to miss out on the 330i's power So which one guys I mean there AMAZING DEALS the two of them, what can I do to them Performance wise to make them faster are they like the same as far as that goes?!?!?! Well Please help me guys gotta buy soon VERY soon... |

Tough call. I like the 328i coupe better but the color combo on the 330i sedan is nicer.
Dont rush it, if you want a coupe then try to find one with an automatic if you dont know if you will like the manual. Did you drive them back-to-back yet? Do that and see if the power difference in the 330i is worth it over the 328i coupe.

here is a crazy idea..........
go drive both and see which one is the right choice for you instead of asking a bunch of strangers who will not be living with the car everyday for X amount of years

I'd say 328 since it has the manual transmission. If you're an enthusiast, I think you'll find that more rewarding than the auto tranny on the 330, even with the slight power advantages of the 330. Another option would be to pass on both and wait for a 330 with manual tranny to come available.

While I would almost always pick a 330i over a 328i, this is one of those times I would pick the 328i -- for the MT over the AT. Also, I like the styling of E92 over E90, if 4 doors aren't important to you.

Wouldnt a 328i in a manual be as fast as a 330i automatic?

Not sure. I'd say at least as fast as a 330 with auto, if not slightly quicker. But more importantly, I think the MT would be a more rewarding experience.

hold out as well... as there should be more and more leased cars coming off.. or take over a lease car.. there are plenty of those for E92 328 or 335i for great deal.
No downpayment for you, just have to take over and make future monthly payment and low mileage (probably) but if you gotta pick one right now, I'd go for the coupe.. but I am biased.

328i with manual is faster than 330i with auto in every test. I don't want to beat a dead horse, but even 328i MT vs 330i MT are almost identical. Do a search of the edmunds test times I have compiled for the 2 cars.

Coupe! I am so biased towards the coupe One more thing, in order to get the headlight washers, don't you have to get the cold package since you can not order the washers as an al a carte item? Just my thought.
