Thank you very much for the compliment. Since I have only written two reviews on Epinions, I am looking for all the help I can get. And to answer your question, I do have the manual sport seats. They are 12 way and include recline/decline, base seat raise/lower, slide forward/backward, front of seat base raise/lower, **now with the sport seats you get* thigh support pull out/pull in. Ohh and the head rest up and down. Even though the seats are manual(pulling a bunch of levers), they have the same range of motion in THIS car then the electric ones do.

You have some good info here, and your writing displays a personal style. With just a little more work it would earn top ratings. A little more polish is needed here and there, and some additional detail on what the car is like to sit in and drive would also be welcome.

You mentioned in a comment elsewhere a bunch of cars you chose this one over. Comparisons always make a review more vivid. They'd be very useful here.

Finally, do you have the manual seats? I've always wondered what the manual adjustments were with the sport seats.

hi, the reasons why I think the 325 is better then the 330 are because of the extra 7 grand you pay for a NEW one, the fact that the manual is just SOO much fun in the 325 bc you really get to row through the box, the 330 is only .6 seconds faster and is only beneficial if you go 90 on the highway and need a huge gas milage increase. Anyway, you just dont get enough to justify the price increase. If you really want the 330, go for an o2 or get an 05 330i and get like 5 k off of the price. BUT GO WITH THE 325ci... and manny
ITS THE GREATEST EVER

I'm looking at the 3 as a possible car for myself and I'm curious why you feel the 325 has an advantage over the 330. In raw horsepower the 330 wins by 40+ ponies. What brings you to the conclusion that the 325 is the better choice? I haven't driven a 330 yet but I'm thinking you have...so what gives? Why the 325?
