Purchasing a 2006 325i w/o sports package please leave comments - BMW Forums

This car has it all except sports package, how much is it to install the sports package with the sports wheel? Do you guys think that the 325i is sufficient enough, for me not to get the 330i?

I got the car and I love it.

You know better than anybody else how fast is fast enough (or rather, expensive enough)

Well, congrats on whatever you decided!

Depends if what you are looking for. If you are a performance guy you will be able to appreciate 3.0 liter engine. If you just like the ride smooth and looks and how you look in the car. 325 is the way to go

btw i used to live in cooper city. i love it there

As the previous poster said, it depends on what you want.

Are you willing to pay more for the extra power a 330i provides?
Are you willing to put up with a rougher ride to get the sports seats and sharper handling?

I would not recommend buying a non-ZSP car and then upgrading it to ZSP. If you want ZSP, but a car that has it.

I love ZSP and I can't imagine the car without it. But I'm going to swap the RFT's for Michelin PS2's.

Both cars have a 3 liter if I remember correctly...I've driven a non sports package 328i and it feels like a totally different car to my 335i, and I am not saying power wise. The Sports package has much better seats and better controlled dynamics but imo is not too hard...especially if you get rid of the RFTs.

Thank you all, I did go ahead and buy the car, it has everything (nav, premium package, Xenons ans so on) except ZSP. Upgrading from my 04 325CI, the handling on the 2006 325i is much better, so I am satisfied.
