The daily driver is getting a little long in the tooth, and beginning to develope some chronic issues. I found a 2005 325 Ci (Coupe) with 98,600 miles. It has a 5 spd, and is nicely optioned with the sport package, cold weather package, HK stereo system, leather interior, and sunroof. Looks very nice but haven't driven it yet. What's getting ready to go, or will go soon, wear item wise? The last BMW I had was a 75 2002 back in the early 80's, so I know little about the newer ones.

Also saw a 2006 MB C230 sport sedan, with approx 116,000 miles. Has a 6 speed, and most of the features of the 325. Same question as to this one.

Given the choices, and knowing potential problem areas, which would you lean towards?
