#9926 of 11927 2004 BMW 325xi vs. the other AWD's ..... by penguinhead

May 31, 2009 (6:59 pm)

Hello all !
New here...figured it would be an intelligent place...
Wife looking to buy a used (2004) AWD Sedan. Each has about 68,000 miles on it.
Prices are apparent differences, will deal with that later.
  
Looking at:
 
BMW 325xi
AUDI A4 1.8 Quattro
Infinity G35x
Mercedes c-240
  
Not looking for a 'race car'. Standard wife car; comfortable; good in snow. She likes these styles, so the Subarus are not a consideration.
  
Looking for opinions on each.
Maybe a quick summary that you may have on each.
Seeing that it is an BMW forum - please feel free to let me know why I should get her the BMW rather than the others.
  
I look forward to all your help.
Please be as lively and opinionated as you'd like to be !
  
Thank you !!!

Buy the Audi or the Infiniti; I suspect that the dynamic capabilities of the 3 Series would almost certainly be completely wasted on your wife. Far too many non-enthusiasts own BMWs as it is.

#9932 of 11927 '07 328xi vs. '06 330xi - two questions by djocks123

Jun 02, 2009 (4:17 am)

I am strongly considering CPO 3's right now.
 
I was told by a dealer that the 3.9 financing for CPO's is only available on 06's amd not 07's. Anyone else experience this?
 
Also, does anyone have a view on the 06 330xi vs 07 328xi. They seem very similar.
 
Thanks, D

If you received this deal I hope you jumped on it.
 
 I went to 4 dealers in Northern NJ before getting a 2009 328xi with AUTO, HEATED SEATS, POWER SEATS, IPOD/USB, METALLIC PAINT. 10k miles per year $470.00 per month (36 mos) which includes the tax. Put down $1,300.00 (1st Pmt $470, Bank Fee, $725, Doc $105)
MSRP was $41,100.
 
The MSRP on your vehicle is closer to $44,500.
