Im looking a 330i and 330ci cars. what is every ones opinion on these two cars. i have a wife and plan to have a child in a couple of years, but at the same time i am only 21 and want a fun car to drive. I drove a 330ci and for a coupe it has good room and is a very fun car to drive. i have not found a 330i to drive yet so i can compair the two so any help would be great. Right now i drive a 2002 maxima so that is where im coming from. Oh and my name is Robert and i live in SC and thanks in advance.

the 330ci and the 330i will drive exactly the same because underneath they are the same car, so it really wether you want the 4 door or 2 door.

i think the 2 door looks better

Woha you having a kid....then wtf are yu thinking about....you gotta buy the 330i dude......ci has two doors and unless yu wanna spend 50 bucks every time you drive for a babysitter cause yur kid aint sitting in a 2 door by law,you gotta get either a Chevy Minivan (which at 21 is strictly a NO NO) or the 4 door......330i is just as good as the 330ci......dont let anyone tell you otherwise.....OH AND GET A MANUAL...... :P

I am not 100% sure on this but isnt the seating a little lower in the ci?

The performance is the same though.

If your planning a kid - its got to be a 4 door but I have to say IMO the Coupe is the better looking of the 2

While the coupe might look better, take this from a guy who has two kids and had the "pleasure" of driving a 2-door car: GET A SEDAN! Sorry, didn't mean to scream.

thanks i am looking a silver 330i's on line and i really like the way they look the only thing i dont like it that the sedan has black body molding. Oh and my wife has a Jeep GC so the kids can ride in that if needs be but no i do not want to take a car see in and out of the back of a coupe.
