Have your friend get to Edmunds and give more details. These things are frustrating. I know someone who bought a Japanese car, it malfunctioned about a mile from the dealer after pickup. The owner "nearly" totaled the car (but was okay after the crash). No new car, insurance paid to fix it.

It amazes me that there are people out there that get sucked into believing that you have to pay for floormats. The sales people must either think that the buyer is really ignorant. In all my car purchases over the years this issues has never even been raised.

It's not listed as standard equipment, but as an option. So, your saying that they will be in the car when I purchase and that they're free and I'm as dumb as a stick?

The floormats are part of the bargaining process. Now that I think back. My wife had to pay for floor mats in her Nissan Altima. I got no floor mats in my Ford Ranger. I got two set of free floor mats in my Bimmer. Go figure.

I'm flabbergasted why anyone would buy the PP and an automatic? The minimal HP gain over a regular 330 is dulled by the slushbox.   -Colin

locke2c is right. Drop the PP and the step and you have a reasonably priced car for what it has to offer. Although my 325i SP was 10 grand less than the 41K that you came up with, it will run with a 330 step any day, not to mention that it's a lot more fun to drive.

Premium Package, not Performance Package.

Didn't quite mean to say that.   I know that if a salesman asked me to pay for floormats for my Bimmer, I would laugh at him and walk. We all know that this floormat thing is another way to make an additional $85. Maybe I have just been lucky that the dealers I have dealt with have never even brought it up and I never thought to either.   My salesperson told me that no customer ever has to pay for floormats at their dealership. She said that these come packed from the factory in the trunk of the vehicle. I guess there is room to make $ if someone was truly greedy.
#21902 of 30156 my 2 cents by djocks Feb 14, 2003 (7:27 am)
I agree with the majority. I would never get an automatic in a BMW. If I were getting an auto I would probably opt for an SUV but if I was dead set on the bimmer anyway I would get the 325 with steptronic! Heck, the cars performance is sacrificed without the 5 speed already and you get the handling and finish of a 3-series still. My pops has a 325ci with a 5-speed and it is an absolute blast to drive. I have a 330i and the power is noticeable but I must admit that the 325 is still a fantastic car.
