: Why not lease a '97 or '98 328i? It'll cost less, rates are lower and will be faster, better optioned etc. Unless you don't like the E36 of course. You don't make enough to buy a $35,000 car (unless you will keep it for 10 years), despite what others will say, but you could afford to lease it.

: : I having been eyeing the 323i for over a year now. I am in my late twenties and honestly can't afford the car yet at this point in my life. Is their anyone out their who has purchased or leased this car with an income of less than 50k per year? I was just wondering if its common for someone of this salary to stretch and get this car or if the BMW dealer is going to look at me like I'm nuts. (Obviously he will take my money!) Anyone out their honest enough to admit to doing this? What do you guys think?
