    It really depends on what your needs are.
    I've always been partial to buying, just cause I like to do shit to my car. It's still a business expense, probably don't get as good a tax deduction as leasing though.

                        Amp started bumping threads, and Pornwolf followed bumping as well, thus Amp started it.

                        I got the a 328i. Nice car.

                        Holds its value well, and still pretty fuckin fast, its in the 6's.

                        Didn't pay jack shit for it either, I think around $28.5, nada was 36k when I bought it.

                          good point Shok...

                          Leasing is a great alternative.. especailly if you do not plan on having the car for more than 10 years... as depreciation on vehicles is aweful.. unless you buy rare exotics... or classics...

                          unless you have the coin to throw down in a lump sum... with interest rates as low as they are.. you could make more money with your money... by paying over time... 6.9% on a lease.. vs 12% on a mutual fund... why not make that 5% back over the same 5 years?? plus you can turn it over and get a brand new one??? when shit starts breaking and falling apart

                            New m3 vs's 98 and older are much different, I drove both.

                            new m3 was on backorder, and fuck if I'm not glad I didn't get it, have alot of $$$ tied up now, that I didn't think I would then. =)

                            older m3 has a TON of body roll, I didn't like it, new m3 and newer 3 series just handles alot better.

                            I can take a sharp corner at 70 pretty much, infact I do every day in my neighborhood, we have a nice corner before the houses, :P

                                Good point re the leasing interest rate. Never looked at it that way.

                                      I used to own a e46 3 series they are nice cars, but had some problems. Drives nice if you dont mind taking it to the dealer ones in a while. Mine was a 99 and I think the cars after that where made better. My last 2 cars where lexus and I love them. I had a 00 gs400 and right now a 03 sc430. The Lexus IS is not one of my favorties, but its a nice car. So I suggest a 330 or the IS. I would skip the m3 its an e36 and I would not pay $30k to drive an old shape.

                                            I have a new 330ci and I LOVE IT !! I have had 2 other 325's in the past and never had issues with any of them. They are great cars.

                                            The next one I get will be the M though for sure

                                            The car is just really smooth and fun to drive compared to our Z06 which is strictly a speed car and a not luxury car by any means. I think with the BMW you get all the luxury and just enough speed to stay out of trouble, hehe

                                            Plus....I look great with my top down!

                                                Yes, I did it.

                                                At least this one turned up some more cool responses.

                                                  I think he might be looking for a sports coupe not a boat.

                                                        The 330i and the M3 are almost totally different cars..I drove a 330i for 2 years..and last month took delivery on an '03 M3smg..
                                                        The M3 is a much more spirited machine in every area.The smg is more fun than i could have imagined..there is a learning curve with it..but once you are comfortable with it..its amazing..the car shifts from 3-4 at 90 miles per hour and will squawk the tires.I have the 19"wheels with the continental tires.It pulls so strong from 5-8k rpms it sets you back in the seat..hard..
                                                        If you have ever thought about getting an M3..highly recommended!
