I want to hear the pro's and con's to each model, year, etc..
Why you chose one over the other, and any other random info.
Looking to see which is the best out of this group.
Personally not a big fan of the black trim stripe around the car, but I still like it a bit.

2006 330Ci 6mt would be my pick of the litter. I think they got rid of the amber in the headlights, the black strips, and it has LED taillights. Overall I think it's the pinnacle of BMW's three-box design. I can't tell you how it drives. The only experience I have with e46's stems from a '99 (I think?) 323i sedan. Not all that fast but still enjoyable. I've also had a ride in a 325i vert and an M3 ('04 I believe).

Why do you ask?

Well, I was planning on getting the most fuel efficient car I could get in a few months.. Most likely a Golf TDI, because I think that my truck is about done for..
So I was going to sell it, and then combine that with the rest of my money to get something.

Me and my dad had been talking about it for a while, and then one day he suggests that I get a BMW. (Been a big BMW fan since I was young, so I guess he noticed) Anyways, he was talking about combining 12k with my money to get a pretty nice used '04-'06 BMW..

Since I can't get all of these BMW's next to each other in real life to compare them, I was hoping some of you could give me some info. It's kind of hard to tell the difference between a 325i/ci and a 330i/ci in pictures..

And that is the reason I am asking.

EDIT: Yes, my dad is helping me buy a BMW if I go through with it. Go ahead and start the flames.
I also find it weird that 80% of the BMW's on ebay are located in Texas.
