Advice to get a 2009 323i

[gaszer]

If you find the 325 sports a bit over your budget, why not take a longer hp duration, 7 years instead of 5?, 9 years instead of 7? That would help make it more attainable?

I am willing to let go mine. But conditions on the letter states that I have to be present with the letter together with the new buyer to get the discount. Which state are u located at?

Dear E46Fanatic,

:top: And thanks.

Do at least take the 325i sports for a spin before committing on the 323i. The ride harshness is subjective as we all have different levels of butt sensitivities. The LCI 325i sports is much more comfy due to the revised shockers and new gen RFTs. So it might just be right for you even around town. Also when you are in the 325i, make sure you rev it to redline and hear the engine scream at 7k rpms. Lovely experience.

true, the e90 LCI 325 sport's ride is not harsh, similiar to (Spore) 2008 e90 323.

Agree. The facelifted 325 suspension is very well tuned. I am impressed. It's not harsh when driving slow. Only when the car pick up speed from 140km/h onwards, the ride become a bit bumpy. Town drive, not much of difference!!!:top: How do they do that??? :top:

Compare with my e46 325, the gear box is faster, handling is even better, the engine sound is also different. The pitch is higher & mostly engine sound. e46 is more on the muffler sound, I still somewhat like the e46 sound though... But yes, e90 is definitely a better car.

Guys,

I was told by the SA that 325 equipped with suspension that suit for sport. Hence, town drive maybe not that comfort to certain people (like me, easy to feel dizzy when sit at rear passenger sit)

Yes, i noticed that the engine sound better and much better response. It's pick up is good too.

Very Good Driving Machine...
