and you seem happy with it. Did you get a 5spd or an Auto? If I remember, you were going to get the 5spd. Either way, if you got the same trans you had in your SAAB how do they compare? I'm sure the bmw manual trans would be smoother with more positive shifting. I am impressed with the auto/manumatic trans. It's convenient and sporty, I just wish the engineers could figure out how to get rid of the torque converter and replace it with a real clutch, like Ferrari F1 at a reasonable cost...that would be the ultimate.
It will be interesting to see how the new SAAB 9-3 will fare against the BMW and other competitors, such as the A4, Passat, etc.
I do have to disagree that while the 323 may sound faster, I can assure you it isn't. Sorry, I have to throw that in there, because for me, accleration is a big factor in a car. You know I couldn't let you get away without some kind of friction :-)
