Well I didn't get the 325xi. I ended up getting a 2002 325i. It is a one owner and looks like new. 46,000 miles with all the service stamps. Came with the sport package, with sport seats and a 5-speed. I couldn't believe how much faster the 5-speed is over the xi with the auto tranny. Has traction control and new all weather tires so I should survive our mild winters. Oh and that e46fanatics website is great! Couple of pix:
