I know that the 320 isn't as fast as the 323, but there isn't too much difference. Having driven the 320, it isn't all that bad and since we live basically in town, we rarely go over 60km / hour.
So, the question is...
Do I get a new 320 without the M Sport kit, but with the colour combo which I want (Alpine White + Terra) and all the options I want.
I would then get some aftermarket wheels.
OR
Settle for a year old 323 M Sport which has 12,000km on it, is silver, which is nice, but just plain black (really dark gray) interior and is minus the following options:
1. Xenon lights, iPod integration / sat nav etc.
2. Heated seats
3. Upgraded HiFi
There isn't too much difference in the money and I really expected the 320 to be like an old E36 318, but it is actually Ok.
So now I am confused  |
for what its worth - I would wait for the right 323 to come along. But the inline 6 engine is very important to me and a huge part of the BMW experience - what about you?
