I think you can't go wrong with one of those. Fine car, fine engine.

Yeah...its one of the best engines BMW made!

But don't buy it with SMG! 6 speed manual fits the best for this engine, but I guess over 90% of them comes with steptronic in the U.S. which is also better than the SMG!

There is the 330xi which has AWD, and it handles better...but top speed <155mph...

smg? in the US, they don't have that.
same with 6sp, only 5sp in 2001

[ahmedgiyab]

oooppppssss!

I didn't know that...but the steptronic is a good choice!

I havn't heard any problems with the 330i at all . The straight six engine is a solid engine.
