the pros are:
great interior/exterior
handling
color
5MT
Cons: Power

Pics of the 325 and CL

 

shoulda got the 330..

 

Nice ride

 

its used we got a good price on this one and 330s were more expensive. this one was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of our budget as is. our budget was 20000 this was 35500 we got it fore 32000 (cdn prices) and its got like 30K km. its like 22-23k (us) and 20K miles and its power wrt to the CL - S, and we still have the CL

 

Very nice ride. One of my uncles got a 01 325i, with different headlights. I think your dad's looks better.

 

nice but yeah the 330 whoulda been nice

 

yeah woulda been. it sill has some power. and the manual tranny helps, gives more feel to the car. i am new to driving stick so i ahvent slammed on this thing yet .

 

Congrats to your pops.

Despite the power decrease over the 330, its still a great car.
