Default New edition to the family






Its my wife equivalent's 2008 BMW 328i CPO with 26k miles. She just got it yesterday and she got a fantastic deal on it. She paid 5K less than what KBB quotes for an '08 328i CPO.

If she's anything like the wife equivalent, she'll always smile and never complain, a very rare find, I'm lucky.

That straight 6 will run forever unlike the DFI twin turbos they've got in the 335s. Its a solid car. I love my 325 straight six. Its plenty fast for bad weather and NYC runs but my only regret is that I should have bought the 330 instead..

The 330's have an issue with excessive oil consumption. Better off with the 325

Nice pair, but I really like the 911 in white, that will be my next Porsche.

Nice. Look how big the BMW is compared to the 996. Cars keep getting bigger and bigger.

My 325 drinks about 1 qt every 3,000 miles since day one.
