Very nice car - basically my question was space wise. It looks pretty much the same size as the 325 for less money. Sure I won\'t get that extra half a liter, but I could deal with it as long I got the sport package with the bigger rims.

It\'s the same size as the 325, just a heck of a lot more nuts. I like nuts.

Heh you live in Tampa! My aunt and uncle live there! Back to the topic - yeah I like the extra 15 hp, but I am wondering what the difference is on insurance between the two.

I just called and mine will be 940 a year. But I am over 30, married, with no record.

Actually the rear wheel horsepower is quite a bit more than 15. I forget what it was, but I was looking on a perfromance website showing before and after dyno runs with intake mods and the baseline for the 325 was like 30 below. I need to look again to make sure.. The HP that BMW says is flywheel horsepower so you can drop a good 12-15% in the drivetrain.

Welp, i finally retired my old car a couple days ago. I was definitely ready. 10 years, 167,000 miles... Oye...... So we bought this one. Black is kind of scary... So much cleaning, but damn it looks good when it\'s clean.

Beautiful. Black may be a bitch to clean but that 10 minutes when its actually clean, it looks sick

This car is SOOOOOO much quicker than my old one. I\'ve never owned a turbo so it\'s pretty freaking fun so far.

I\'ve never owned or driven a car with a turbo so I wouldn\'t know

But it definitely does sound like a lot of fun. How many horsepower is that?

300hp. I have warranty till 100k so it\'ll be staying there for a little while. There is quite a bit of aftermarket stuff out there to take advantage of the twin turbos. plug and play you can add another 15-20% without getting your hands dirty.
