Its not my daily driver as you see it depends on my mood for the car I choose to drive, I prefer variety over one expensive automobile. Plus if any car gets damaged or is in the shop I have enough back up not to worry about what to do next!

I can answer that for you, I had a 02 330ci and now a 03 Is300.

In what aspect are you talking about?
*Interior I prefer the overall fit and quality of the BMW
*Engine I prefer the Is300 because of the 2jz which IMO is one of the best engines ever made
*stock ride quality and overall handling I like the 330 better, I had the sport package and it felt much better than the current sport design I have.

My 2004 Sport Design just crossed over 100k today. I drive 500 to 600 miles a week for work, so the miles add up quick. I Haven't changed anything but the oil and tires.
