BMW Question?

I know that this is not a BMW forum, but I can't get my brother of my back about a BMW forum (yes he is going to purchase a BMW)

Do you guys know a good BMW forum for my brother besides bmwforums.com (that place has no activity)

I alredy told my brother which ever BMW he gets I want to race him at the track( i think he is looking at the 330i) I know those are pretty quick but we will see what happens

Thanks for the info guys!

Err...what?

A. It's impossible to get a 328ci to $45,000. Unless you pay dealer markup, then he got what he deserved. If you check every single option box, I think you might get it to $42,000.

B. He must have put some SERIOUS miles on it (or had some damage) to only sell it for $25,000. A quick check of autotrader.com shows 144 E46 328cis ranging from $25,992 to $41,598, with a median price of $32,292.

C. Historically, BMW has trailed only Mercedes and Toyota in depreciation. With the desirable models out right now, I wouldn't be surprised if BMW is the most depreciation-proof brand in the marketplace.

D. Interior too small? I guess that's opinion. Mine is perfectly comfortable for four adults.

E. Empty dashboard and center console? Not really sure what you mean there, chief. Mine seems to have everything there.

no..i have 2 friends bought brand new 328ci..one is manual and one is auto..and they added up all the option..except the navi..but they sold their cars each at about 25k~26k..that is true..and why they bought so expensive.the prices is included all the tax and liscense and luxury tax... if u do not believe..check out the used car price from internet.or u can even go to bmw.com to build one yourself and see how much add up?and remeber to add tax..
