Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
Just saw another thread with an option to buy 325i E92 from PI's that should be a good option.
Maybe can get cheaper than 325i E90!
I found their webiste.... price may not be updated but should be close. -- Welcome to CyberCars
Anyone know what is the difference between PI and PML E92's?

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
The thread was more intended to see what different aspects people looks at in choosing between the 2. So far, it's been interesting...
Was never meant to be a popularity poll thus 50% : 50% result is probably most likely.
I like the comment about the Envy factor. As written in the 48 Power Laws.... Do not outshine your boss.

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
I have just changed from a e90 320 to e60 525. Altought most ppl here will say the 320 is under-power blah blah blah....but its one car which I truely enjoyed both in terms of its look and driving feel. Which till today, I still think the 320 is more agile.
Why I make the change then? Firstly, I was suppose to be posted overseas but the plan was slightly delayed. Secondly, I just have a second child and the e90 leg space at the back is just not good enough for maid + 2 kids. i.e. in short, if space matter, the e60 is a safer choice.
Btw, I am a few years younger than you. So, I think though age may matter. But ultimately is what you feel good in and enjoy that counts.

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
eldwin, I tend to agree with your comments, but I also beleive that you need ot wait a while before you get used to the 5 series. it seems softer but with servotronic steering it is a bit lighter, I didnt get the active steering option. Dont let the quiteness of the cabin foll you into thinking it is softer, I tried some stuff, I can safely say that it is agile as well a bit less feedback though...

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
DF65, i do agree with your observation.
The smoothness one gets from the 52X is definitely much desirable as compared to a 320. As in this case, I think it would be of "little" difference when we are comparing to the 325 here.

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
compared to the 4pot 320, the premium is there but not as high as it seem, the 325i comes with sports steering, i-drive with GPS, electric roller blinds, 17inch rims standard, all these already close to 20K liao...
also they are much much more 320s in the mkt, so i wouldn't say its easier to sell...

Re: BMW 325i vs 523i
15% more is a lot when the number is big big ah! By the way, 20K is comparing against 323i.... I think 320i now about 125k can get... 325i is 178k so that's 50k diff for the list of extras you quoted.
It's always a little more for better car yah.... hahaha... No lar.. I got limit... 180K car is about what I can probably afford. Anything higher, is stretching it liao. Have to drive within or below my means.
If suay suay lose job, every month still have to pay house, eat, utilities, income tax, etc.
