im in the market for a new car. right now i have a 325is and i want to upgrade but i am dazed on what i should get. my budget is 26k. Ive been lookin at the acura cl type s with nav and i like it but bein a bmw owner, i am kinda dougbtin that. how are the 323cis? how much of an upgrade is it from my car? comparisons and opinions are very apreciated.

thanks

get the 323ci, not a bad car. VEry refined and nice. Probably comparable to the 325is since they are both 2.5 liter engines...

u can get a e36 m3 EASILY. would be hella faster than 323ci and ud have plenty of money left for mods

i would say e36 m3 cause my friend once had a 323ci but now a M coupe. His 323 wasnt that fast, handling wise all e46 handles the same.

the problem is that my brother has an m3 "arman" and all my friends have m3s and watching them having to drop hundreds and hundreds on maintance just to go fast doesnt really apeal to me. they are awesome car and i love them but dont really need it. i have done my fast driving in the past with my TTZ and i just want to chill now, that is the reason i got the 325is in the first place.

thanks!

Hey yo Nima....

How about u sell ME your car first... and then decide what you should get...

As for what u should get.. u know what i think.. all depends on what sort of car u're lookin for......the 323, the M3, the cl type-s... all very nice cars, but all different from one another in my opinion..

O REALLY? anything is possible with the right amount of money. show me the money and you can drive away with it.
