Hey its a 2008/2009 models im looking at of the 325i - That's all I know not that switched on with bmw's at mo :P But the one im looking at is more powerful than the VXR. - I want power and lux, I have the SRI at the moment, and i've test drove a VXR and i must say it was RAPID. but then surely the Beemer will feel quicker as its 5.7 seconds 0-60 where as the vxr is 6.2 0-60. - And the price u can get a sexy looking BMW for compare to the Arctic VXR's ( the one i would have ) is only 6months different in age and is the same amount of money. They are 2 completely different style of cars.
