I feel the same way about my 330ci. I've had for almost 4 weeks now...I love it more every day. I test drove the Lexus IS300 (too gimmicky), Benz clk430 (way too expensive when compared to the 330, very nice though), an acura ( didn't even like the looks a bit), and a lincoln LS (not a bad car), but the BMW is the most complete car I have ever driven for the price. Head and shoulders above the rest. Hopefully, I'll be able to swing an M5 in a couple years. Just to let you know I have 330ci/slvr/SP/CWP/moon roof/leather/cd/HK/man tranny(Ilike to drive my car, not steer it) (I think that's everything). Have fun, and don't let all the cynics worry you. I just bought a 2001 330ci with the sport package. You would think from reading this message board that I have the only perfect BMW ever built. All I see posted here are problems. Does anyone else here have a problem free BMW???? I am still stunned. This car was 40k even with TTL and the most expensive car I have bought EVER. Yet it is the most incredible car I have bought EVER.... If anyone else wants a deal on one go to Fred Brown BMW in college station TX. I got a black 330ci with sports pkg, leather, HK upgrade, and CD player for EXACTLY 40k with TTL......
