Hi everyone,

I am chooing btw 03 Tls of bmw325i w/ leather seats, sunroof and auto tran.

I found tl get more room at back seat but no handle as BMW.
On the other hand, BMW 325 engine is not powerful as tls, back seat is as small as my integra. my order of the Bmw will not have power seats and 6-cd. I have one kid who is only 3yrs old. It is hard for me to choose btw two car.

Seem like tls--for family and some drivingfun but will be restyle
BMW-driving fun, not comfor. for family but not restyle yet.

I am getting much lower intrest rate for Bimmer

Please advise

 

i would personally get the TL-S over the 325. unless it was a 330. TL-S= better bang for the $$ and more room for your family. but is all about what u like not wut i like or n 1 else likes. go with what u feel you will be happy in.

TL-S +1 vote

I got 2.9% on my TL which i bought last month, and I believe it's still running at 2.9% for this month. BMW has a lower interest rate than that?

 

unless its a 330 i wont go with BMW.
either both cars will give you some trouble along the road.
Bimmer=electrical problems
TL-S= rattles and tranny problem.

have fun deciding!

 

The Bimmer is a gem of a car, although you will have your share of "blue bayou's" from plenty of higher horsepower cars. The coupe is pretty and the convertible is cool. I think the Acura gives you more for your dollar and it holds its value (well, guess you have to figure in the tranny factor, although that should be all right by now).
If you like the looks of the BMW more than the Acura, go with that. The BMW handles better too--just don't ask it to stay up with the 260 horse S!

 

not to mention it costs a fortune to maintenant a bimmer.

 

I'm more for horsepower and value. They are right in that service is cheaper, some of us will tell you we don't have rattles (and I don't), I got a new tranny so what do I care if I drove a rental for three days tops, and the Acura interest rate my friend just got last Saturday with less than perfect credit was 4.9% AHFC...Go figure...$29,100 seems to be the price w/o Navi and how can you beat that?
You could spend $300 on springs and $300 on sways and the handling of your car will REMARKABLY change; if you went Comptech, the ride difference is negligible and it isn't an aggressive drop so you and the family won't have to worry about bottoming out and the like...
Would it be a closer race with the 3301? Yup. I'd be tempted by either, but in the long run, I don't mind doing little things to my car to seriously tweak its performance and still save a bundle of money and continue with peace of mind...

Oh yeah! It will likely cost you more to insure a Bimmer!!!
