test drove a 328Ci and 325Ci (LONG)

[Howe]

i took off work early and took the plunge. went to classic BMW, bent tree, volvo of Richardson for test drive.

the first 2 is a 328Ci. fit's my first time driving my "ever since i am a kid" dream car. it's a blast although the first 328CI doesn't have a sunroof and the the sale rep is beside me. she is kind of snob-she must be thinking i can't afford these beauty. i just drove it easy. i pass on to test drive another bimmer cos no sunroof. next went i was at bent tree, they let me test drive alone. i take a spin, hard corner it. it's very powerful and SMOOTH!!!!. unfortunately it's a auction car. car is dirty, leather is pretty much worn, oil on a round cylinder thing (bare with me cause i am still too new to BMW, but my best guess would be a oil filter), visible and annoying scratches, interior is falling apart. i am so sad to see that as i have to pass again and go test drive another car. then i am at volvo of richardson, saw a fully loaded option with nav. sys. i am so thrill, but as soon as i walk into the car its a stick shift which it's not what i want. fortunately the sale rep is kind enough to show me another BMW. by the way the fully loaded bmw is a 330Ci. anyone dying for one pls visit them. the car will be gone pretty soon as it's a low mileage car (24K) and price it at $28K. ok back to this 325Ci steptronic. it's a jet black, with 17" rim, H/k sys, black leather, i think its a M3 steering wheel (don't quote me on this) but the whole car is awesome from the exterior to the interior. it's carrying a 43K miles, but the condition of the bmw inside outside is like brand new. the sale rep (george) is kind and freindly enough to let me test drive rough roads, S curve corners, highway speed. i am too impress with the car the next thing when i am done test driving i put down a deposit and get all the doc done. soon i'll be like you folks. a happy S.O.B bimmer owner. just can't wait till the day is here. i'll spare the details later and sorry for this long post but i am too thrilled to own my very first dream car.

i wish all sale rep regardless of where/who they are working for has the same attitute as George (the one mentioned above).

i understand thier feelings too, as i have been in their shoe before. i have worked as a bible sales man during summer intern.
after so many turn downs, your level of enthusiasm drops.

There is a big difference in the power of the 330 and the 328 you will def notice if you drive both.

The 330 is treading closely to e36 M3 territory, not too far behind.
