    BMW 320i or something else

    Ok I'm finally buying a new car in 2-3 weeks. Im thinking of 2014/2013 bmw 328i or 320i. Pretty durable, with relatively low mileage, all wheel drive, sport package, for around 23k CAD.
    Is there anything you guy can recommend? Im looking for a sport sedan so I can drive my niggas and bitches, but maybe an M3, but I heard not as good durability. Looking for BMW only.

    I heard 328i has good gas consumption, which is a part of the reason I'm getting it, and pretty nice speed I guess. Anyways I got 30K MAX I can spend, since I need to leave some extra for emergencies, plus gas, and fucking insurance so maybe 25k. Let me know, looking for less than 50K km's top, and all wheel drive.

    You realize with a 30K budget you could own a 2014 335i XDrive with less than 45K miles on the odometer. I owned both a 2014 328i and a 2014 335i and could tell you that compared to the 328i, the 335i is like a rocket ship. If you're not looking to modifying your car in the future, the 328i will do you just fine. The only difference is I4 vs I6, but both are turbo charged. Maintenance on F30+ isn't expensive at all, just keep up with oil changes that you can DIY for around $50.

    With a budget of 30K, your option of getting an E92 M3 is insane. Unless you can get a GREAT deal on it, I would advise against it for it'll get you horrible gas mileage compared to a 328i or 335i. They might develop a rod bearing issue overtime and thats like $3K down the drain. I would personally only purchase a E92/E90 M3 as a Sunday car with deep pockets.

    328i vs 320i?
    Both of them are the same car, but with different specs. The 320i is essentially a "detuned" 328i as some people regard it. With a car full of people(adults), the 328i seemed "slow". Some people might laugh at you for owning a 320i, but it's obvious if you do, with its single tailpipe exhaust. Especially when you want to drive your friends around, want XDrive (4WD), you want the extra horsepower.

    Go for the 328i if those are your options.

    Hope I helped! If you have anymore questions just ask!

    A E65 7 series would be bonkers! Riding in style!
    But I'd probably go for a 328i considering your choices

    30K CAD not USD. Lowest i seen right now is 44k CAD for 100k+ miles, which I can't do. Im not looking for something massively powerful, since it is my first car so I'm not trying to drop as much.

    I know you're only looking at BMW's, but you should consider a Infiniti Q50. I test drove one a few months ago and instantly loved it. Similar performance to a 328i, however they're a more reliable IMO. However, if you do end up getting a 328i, you should get a cold air intake along with a chip to boost your performance. After those 2 mods, my friend's 0-60 time was like, 4.5 seconds
