Here is a thread I found for what people are paying for insurance. It always helps to do a search:

depends on the dealer. I'm sure they'll let you. If they don't talk to the GM and tell them you'll tell evom.net people.

Get your financing lined up elsewhere. You can usually get a better rate than the dealer for the most part and you will have more leverage when making the deal. Don't ask for a test drive, just act mildly interested and they will offer it if they are cool.

If you are factoring in any dealer experiences then the Bimmer will certainly be a much better experience for sure.

Man, I think the BMW is a great car. I still think the EVO is like a Japanese E30 M3.

But it really depends on the type of all around driving you will do.

There are some days I wish I bought a 330I Performance Package..

and other days a G35 Coupe looks hot going down the road..

But overall. The EVO is definately me.

[QUOTE=hi_nrg_fizzix]I looked at the 330Ci and almost bought one, then test drove the EVO at the last minute. Get the 330 if you want practical luxury with a bit of sportiness and super neutral handling. Get the EVO if incredible performance is what you seek.[/QUOTE

Totally agree with him, its what u want. Do u want a nice luxury car or a great performance car. Unfortunitly unless u want to spend alot more u cant get both. Just be honest with ur-self and ask this question. Are you going to mod ur car, no really are you going to mod it cuz alot of people say yes at first but once they see how much it costs they quickly change their mind, will u possibly race it, and again are u willing to spend a good amount of extra money for mods and repairs? If ur answer is no then I would suggest to u to get the BMW. Dont get me wrong u dont have to mod the evo, but it is a performance car that was ment to be driven. If ur not then what is the point of really having it, get the BMW.

I had a 1998 M3 and now have an 05 Evo. I prefer the Evo overall - always thought the BMW was overrated. Of course, the road testers at the time were wetting themselves over the car...
