Fox, the 325 (assuming we are comparing E30/E36) will also be lighter, cheaper and more rewarding to drive.

I assumed we were comparing the 1991-1996 E36 325i with the 1996-1999 E36 328i?

Yeah like that old m3 they went round the track in on fifth gear and discovered it was only slightly faster than a transit van.

I'm talking about driving enjoyment - you can't measure that with a stopwatch.

Forgive me if you think this is rude, but how incredibly selfish of her. She's your mother not your ruler. I'm very glad my parents don't have an attitude like that.

you cant blame a mother for worrying about her son....especially when someome close to us was killed in a motorcycle accident. Not that that would inevitably happen to me, but I know where she is coming from.
