Any E90 325i feedback pls?

Just eyeing up the deal on the BMW website - 69k drive away. I used to own the E46 & loved it. Anyone had any reliability issues?
The prices i'm being quoted for new E90/92 335 even with a trade in are giving me headaches, but looking at that deal I could even hang on to the 330!

If I keep the 330, then no, but as I can't use much of the performance of it anyway, I don't see it as an issue. Plus the 325 is hardly a slouch, is it?

Don't see the point of going from 330i to 325i. Just keep your car

+1.

The 330i has more torque than the the 325i. The 325i is pretty slow until you get it wound up to around 5000RPM. With automatic transmission the larger engine in the 330i would be a big help.

Uhm...are you afraid of making phone calls to Sydney or Melbourne based dealers? Sell your car privately

Going from a 330i M to a 325i Edition Innovations (or whatever it is called) a few months before they bring out the F30 is not something I'd ever consider.

If they'd had a 330i priced between it and the 335i, I wouldn't have a 325i much as I love its all-round abilities.

Fair enough I should have called the thread 'what should I do with my 330' which is now 5 years old and starting to show it's age. Yes the F30 is looming on the horizon. With what Auto Classic are asking for a new 335 sedan, - well screw them. I still maintain that with my urban driving, moving onto an apparently hideously inferior brand new, reasonably specced 325 wouldn't bother me in the slightest. As I mentioned previously, I had an E46 and was more than happy. So it's decision time, and not having had any experience of the E90 325, I just thought i'd ask.

One bonus with keeping the 330, with the firmer suspension on deteriorating road surfaces, the sight of Rossi sucking dick in the back of his M3 would be mercifully blurred.

No, especially with my PBX Powerbox installed. Love it!!!
I have owned my 325 since I bought it in mid 2005, one of the first E90 325s in the country at that time.

Waiting for the F30 to arrive.

Cheers.
