Re: 320i vs C180/C200
While you're at this class of car, check out the Audi A4.
IMHO driving wise nothing beats the white C200 with the advanced agility package. But you'd want a 6 cylinder, so screw all the 320, C200, etc and start looking at the C230 and 323 already!
Haiz.... i have so much to share, but it is might as well forget it, because nobody will listen to it, coz people have to got make mistakes first.
In case you're gonna take me on blind faith:
1) Damn just go for the 6 cylinder cars, not the 4.
2) German cars suck big on electronics and sensors
3) You will lose so much money on a `higher CC than lowest' car that unless you're prepared you will be quite depressed. But once you're prepared that's fine.
4) The best car for the city is a Honda Jazz/Fit.
5) A luxury car or sports sedan is for showing off only, but once you get it you'd realise what they hell, people got even bigger cars! What's there to show off?
6) If you want a great drive and 4 seats please, just go for the Evo, or get a 2nd hand E46 3 litre.
7) else go for a miata or porsche or ferrari or something really nice to drive.
8) Buying 2nd hand or 1st hand for a german cars, will still have big issues, so WTF just go for a 2nd hand
9) You can get the new car smell by buying mink oil, search these forums for `new car smell' or `mink oil' you'll find it.
10) I'm supposed to be in the middle of a mid life crisis so my posts sound a little bit like a bitch.
