LET C32 2002
I own an 04 C230k with no issues at 75k miles and a 02 C32
with 50k miles and its not flawless. I would still take the 02 C32 anyday over the C230k mostly for the fun factor. Its a car that slaps alot of V8s in the a$$ and it looks great. If in the budget get the C32 with a extended warranty for peace of mind. I get alot of compliments on the car(C32 ) and boy is it nice to take the lead when you wish to. I would definitely go with the C32.

I think the pre '05 interiors are fine. C32 is the only choice if your not spending everything you have on the car. If you are, then 330i or A4 3.0 is a better second hand choice than a 4cyl

I'd take the C32 in a second over the C230!!! There is really no comparison in the performance category. You will be spending lots of $$$ down the road to make your C230 faster and it still won't be as fast as the C32... Just my $.02.
