I bought the E90 for three reasons:- In the future it would be pretty difficult to sell a high-mileage Evo- Driving the Evo all the time makes it less of a novelty - Auto box and a turning circle that isn't like Jupiter'sThe E90 was the only car I was interested in- good looks, RWD and a smooth-shifting 6 speed auto tranny. Why a 325? Well, the 320i is down on power and a host of other goodies, while it was extremely difficult to justify the additional RM110k for the 330 (which isn't gonna hold its resale value as well as the 325, judging by current E46 330 prices). Also, 18-inch run flats isn't gonna provide the kind of comfort I was looking for in a daily driver.2 months and 4500 km later, and the E90 has not made me second-guess the purchase. The only complaint I have is the lack of space for a spare tire in the trunk. The Potenza RE0050A run flats aren't too bad, but replacement costs are ridiculous and I'm pretty sure better (and conventional) tires will transform the car's handling and make the ride more comfortable. Yes, the sidewalls of the run flats are that stiff.This is my first BMW, but my parents used to have an E36 318iA. I'm not gonna even try to compare a 4-cylinder '93 CKD model with a brand new 6-pot CBU unit.</blockquote>
