996 or for what a fully tarted up 328 will run you a early 997 or even a 996 Turbo.

We looked at 328s right when they came out for my wife. Between the less BMW feel of the car then I expected (its become more luxury then sporty) and the obxious options prices I was not impressed. The wife ended up going with Chrysler 300c that cost $32k (year end deal with $12k off) compared to the 328 with the same options was deep into the $40s. As a realtor her clients love it and don't get butt hurt like they would with a Bimmer.

Your thinking of getting 6 speed. Any thoughts on resale especially with these being more luxury than sport. I was on the Bimmer lot the other day and they didn't have a single manual transmission car on the lot. If you wanted one they'd have to order it for you. Not a good sign IMO.
