Do you want a newer car, or a hotter performer that's slightly older with better brakes, less weight, more HP and a more high-perf suspension? You're asking an M3 board so, no offense, but I don't think hardly anyone here would trade their M3 for a 325Ci, unless they themselves simply just want a newer car. If that's your case get a newer car, otherwise it's a no-brainer. CYA>PM3
