330xi

Well I drove my friend's 330xi today. Its awd but i dont feel that it handles any better than my gf's 330ci at all. I guess cause bmws handle great already on dry roads. Guess I would have to take the Xi for a ride again when it snows... Took a pic of her car next to mine. Hers sure looks much sweeter.

I think you forgot to post the pic, I like mthe bemmer, but there is something about the seating position and steering wheel position that feels awkward. My girl has the 323i, that thing feels downright solid, almost too solid for my liking. every thing is stiff and her car has no power at all.
It does look sweet though,

FYI...the sports package RWD 3-series handles better than a sports package AWD 3-series. Reason is because if you look at the spcs, the AWD sports package doesn't include the stiffer suspension and larger tires/rims combo. The AWD is also higher off the gound than a RWD.

no.i do not think it is going to handle better..and i am not going to spend about 38K~44K to buy a bmw 330xi.. subaru wrx seems attracted to me with about 25K only ..
as subaru's awd system is world famous.each wheel has equal torque and hp..that is what bmw 330 xi can not beat

Car and Driver ranked the BMW 330xi behind the WRX, which was behind the S4. Price wise the difference is substantial. If price isn't an issue I will take the bimmer over the Subaru. Don't know much about the S4.
