Which one: Golf V R32 or BMW 330Ci?

[DUR]

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.
