BMW 325i

Mercedes C230 Sport

Audi A4 2.OT

Cadillac CTS

Which one would you pick?

i would have a hard time between the Audi and the BMW....

But, i am a sucker for Turbo's so most likley the Audi.

To each his own though.

I'm leaning towards the Mercedes C230.

And I have a hard-on for the new BMW styling so I would go that route. I'm hoping to trade the 'clipse in for a new 3 series if I ever get my fucking credit cards paid off.

i have been a fan for BMW for a long time, but this latest styling that it has.. i am not to fond of it at all..

But i bet it still drives like one, so i guess that is all that really matters in the end... right?

You should get a car that says something about who you are as a person. I'd recommend something more like this.

Audi's without sports seats give me a bad back.

I'd go for a 330d with the bi-turbo. it'll shit all over the 325.

But you don't know me as a person, so pick a car from the list and STFU.

i would agree with you, infact i went to my local BMW dealership seeing if they had one, and it turns out that here in NA we CAN get them, but its on a order by order bassis.

kinda a let down in the end... as i said, i am a sucker for turbo's

I suppose they need a whale tale, after market body kit and a cheezy muffler kit that makes farty noises when you press on the gas. Right? :icon29:

This is going to be the wife's ride. She doesn't need a race car. :icon26:

The CTS is a pretty nice car too. Buddy of mine was driving his grandpa's CTS for a while and it was definitely an enjoyable ride. The V-Specs are nuts if you can swing one.

The 330d is diesel with the new turbo. One small for low revs and a large one for high so you never lose the power. It’s not a sports car and I think it's cheaper but has better mpg and more power. I've used the 530d with the same engine and i've driven the 325i, the 5 was much better with the extra power. Petrol engines just feel pooly made to me now.

I was looking for opinions on these cars because the wife and I have actually talked about them and haven't decided. This is also going to be a joint decision. That's how the whole marriage thing actually works.
