In regards to bang for the buck. Quite honestly, i'm driving it.
Yeah I'm going with Danny on this one - I want what he's got too, as a second car .

Congrats on the pic up Danny, I know you've been talking about it for years lol. The W203 crowd just seems to be jumping ship huh?

Congrats! I'd get that as my next car if I were in the market for it...probably the 335xi since I'm here in Boston. Mmmm, that'd be a fun car after chipping it

well that was the 2002 330i and it was fully loaded, and i had a 2002 C230 coupe and the BMW at that time did not have the rest feature and the one touch turning signals. and little thinks like that. however the C230 did not have the park-assist feature and stuff. but that then again the 330i was a lot more then the $$$ then the C230. so i was just referring to some of those features.
all in all i really do like the drive of the 300i for me the two car are a coin toss. just because i have been driving benz longer so i kinda stick with benz.
and the other thing is where i live BMW are a dime a dozen, so benz become a little more rare of a car.

Well obviously you haven't looked around much. Maybe there haven't been a lot of 3-series owners jumped ship to a non AMG c-class (why would they?), but quite a few have done so to AMG models. Not just W203 AMG but other classes as well. There's a lot of new threads about a former bimmer owners buying an AMG.

As well there should be. Between M, R, and AMG, we European marque enthusiasts (with a bit of disposable spending) have some truly outstanding and rewarding models from which to choose.

I suspect these are the glory days for horsepower-hungry consumers. To realize we have these various delightful editions available today is almost too good to be true. That they have to meet and comply with EPA, DOT, NHTSA, CAFE, & CARB requirements, along with the edicts of myriad other regulatory agencies, it’s almost a miracle we can buy them at all.

Congrats man. I wanted the 335i Sedan, but unfortunately it was a little bit out of my price range when loaded with everything I wanted. Ended up with an 07 G35 Sport (fully equipt). Basically the Jap Knock Off!

Anyway enjoy that car, its friggin sweet!

John, for your eloquence and candor! That was one of the most well-spoken posts I've seen in quite some time and definitely makes a strong and valid point about society today, particularly in the United States.

A quick summary in regards to your second half about the BMW being a dime a dozen. Let me put it this way for you. In Orange County, even an Aston Martin isn't exclusive.

good call. i know that from been there last summer. its really had to be exclusive out there. anyways good luck on the new car.

Side note; if u really want to be exclusive in "OC" get a nice KIA and u'll be the only one there with it.
