The E9X interior is nothing incredible. Neither is the Subie's but it did get a bit of an improvement lately. It's nowhere near the catastrophe it used to be.

STI has some of the worst insurance rates I've ever been quoted. Just based on that I say 328.

I was pretty disappointed with my E90 330i's interior. I liked my father's E39 interior much more and, since it's basically the same thing, my E46's as well.

Over the last month, ive fallen in love with my 325xi finally. You could never find me in a car that wasn't a bmw, only exception are lancer evos, fuck the subarus.

If you're over 25 I'd say take the BMW. Otherwise STI all the way.

328 6MT for luxury/DD.

STI for raw power, AWD, modding, all around fun performance.

328: FR drive +1pt, N/A I-6 + 1pt, Balanced Chassis +1pt. Total = 3pts
STI: AWD 0 pt, Turbo Boxer 4 0pt, Understeer -1pt, Boy Racer -2pt. Total = -3pts.

I don't see how this is even a competition. Clearly apples and oranges. If I were a rally driver I might favor a STI, otherwise 328 FTW!

Depends for who... Bmw stereotype=snob. It goes both ways. AWD is not a minus. Today I've seen a regular 328XI with the OEM 16s that car really looks sorry. I'd take a WRX over a 328. Nothing against your car but a lot a guys here can't careless how smooth the ride is or how many airbags or Ipod aux. Now that the 328 is going with a 4 cylinder there goes the N/A +point.

Nice unbiased rating system

328 = slow and boring. might as well be front wheel drive

Douche, not snob, get it straight at least. The sad part is that this is true for the most part. The vast majority of BMW drivers appreciate the finer points of BMW lineage and engineering like a caveman enjoys a Rembrandt. Actually BMW is one of the most respected brands especially among driving enthusiast and for good reason. If you consider yourself an enthusiast I shouldn't have to explain why the 328 is so special. Touche regarding BMW's new love affair with the turbo I4. All the more reason to go with the current 328.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Apparently the current BMW management thinks the same way you do with the development of the FWD i series.

The 328 is a fine machine but it's snoozeville for me. I'd get a civic si,mazdaspeed3,gti,mini cooper s,135I,wrx,sti,accord,tsx,altima v6,maxima,g37,accord v6,taurus SHO,Passat CC,Genesis coupe,Mustang,Camaro and many other vehicles over that car. Douche,snob,cocky who cares. I'm not a Bmw fan it's either top of the line or I look elsewhere.

Glad that you like your car,it's a good car. Honestly if my car does put a grin on my face when I take fast curves,accelerate quickly nor sound good I'll save some cash and get a regular car like TK-421 said . FWD is not a problem a that point.

It's the 335 in 2007 that got me back into a Bmw showroom. I did not bother in 2006 walking into a showroom to take a look at the new E90 325-330. By looking at the posters Drives: from this thread most are into performance(M6,335(I)(D),135,supercharged E46 M3, M3,Z4).I'm sure all these guys are more concerned with the fun to drive factor rather than a plush drive,well put interior,look etc.
