Default Which one: Golf V R32 or BMW 330Ci?

At the sametime I was thinking of trading in my M3 e36 for a brand bew Golf V R32, a friend of mine started paying attention to the Golf.

He was almost decided to order it soon, until another friend of ours offered him his 12/2003 BMW 330ci "M pack" with 28.000 km on the clock (very well kept and pretty well equipped).

I told him eventhough the Bimmer is less powerfull, I think its more of a car, better fitted, with an incredible engine, and ... real wheel drive!!!!! He really likes the R32 though, eventhough I insist on him picking the 330Ci...

¿What do you think? ¿Which would you pick?

Cheers.

Depends of what you're going to be mostly using it for.

If mostly highway and back and forth to work......BMW.

If twisty roads and harder driving suff...the golf.

If you want a combo of both...maybe an audi TT.

Don't know this for sure, but I think the R32 is more fun.

Yeah but you drive a "titty" so your opinion doesn't count.. We both know the 330ci is far from rubbish even if you always seem to be somewhat jealous of bmw:s.

Well, my friend usually drives to work with it. He also travells quite a bit (weekend getaways), eventhought he also likes to give himself a treat from time to time by driving a secondary roads...

He was thinking of buying a M3 e46 before he thought of the R32, but ruled out thid options because it not being a good "daily drive" car...
