I've spanked a number of 325/328i's and the few that I haven't, I've
been
half a car length behind. My car is stock, except for a P-Chip, modded
air-box w/ K&N & Pirelli P700s. BMW makes awesome cars and if I could
afford it, I would trade-in my GLX for an M3 in a heartbeat!

But a 328is? At roughly $10-12K premium over the GLX, it's not worth
the ride, at least for me.
