Great review. Thanks for your insight.
You hit on the word value so I crunched some numbers and got some details.
For $6k more based on U.S. MSRP, a 330i will get you the following compared to the 325i... (based on the 2006 3 Series brochure)
40 more horsepower
3 Stage air intake manifold
1 inch bigger wheel
Xenons
Power Seats
Logic 7 sound system
Extra chrome details
No mention of the brakes on the brochure, but I'm assuming that it is bigger.
I would love to have all of those above, but personally, I don't think it is worth the extra 6k. However, I must have those Xenons with angel eyes
