I have a '01 325Ci (that's the coupe) on order with a 5 speed, the sport 
package, and a moonroof.  I've test driven the 3 series 4 times now, the 5 
series twice, and the 3 series once.  Not including the laps around Limerock 
and Loudon in some of my friend's BMW's ... when I say the 3 series is 
lightyears ahead of the Golf/Jetta platform, it's an understatement.  I 
don't know how else to describe it, the only thing you can do is go out and 
drive it.  Do NOT drive any model without the sport package.
