No go-fast parts for it nor flash tuning available. Bummer. The '08 and after are much different cars that can't touch BMW 3 series models. The new C class rides are nice but more cruisers than sport sedans-unless you go AMG and get a beastie engine.

BMW all the way.
I must be one of the few people that does not care so much about having a great stereo in the car. When I got my Mazda3 it was important for me to get the upgraded Bose sound system. And now I mostly listen to podcasts and talk radio when in the car, very boring haha.

I know for sure I will be looking for one with M-Sport, and the upgraded sound system.
Depends on what your priority is.
I got most of the performance options and love them.

I would say Adaptive M Suspension is one of the most important one. Especially if you go for xDrive.
Other options are really up to your preference.

The HUD is really nice but I couldn't justify $3000 for it.
I dunno the navigation and heads up display is what BMW really got right and I love using it. The better gauge cluster also looks way nicer.

I suppose everyone has different values but I know I would regret it if i didn't get the cool tech

I understand not ordering it but I would always suggest it to a prospective buyer if that fit their budget or desires

I prefer my Google Maps over the built-in nav, but that's another topic.

After the 2003 C230 Coupe I had, I had 2 335i's, 1 328i, and now a 340i. I keep saying I will get another car other than a 3 series, but my dealer keeps giving me a very good deal, where I keep leasing 3 series. I recommend a 335i or a 340i, but not a 328i.

That old C230, was an exceptional car for the price. I really like that generation of mercedes, like the SL, E, etc. Personally, I don't like the way Mercedes has been going, design wise. I only like the new C43 AMG/C63 AMG coupes.
