Bro ...
Welcome to the forum.
I myself love 3 series, but after thinking about it, at least u need to buy the 235 (or above), otherwise dont bother. Heard lots of mechanical problems also on the 3 series.
Buy altezza, u wont regret.
Contact me at 013 - 224 2625 and am glad to help u.
Actually, i have an importer friend who can give u the best price in the valley and a friend of mine is selling his also (auto, black colour, 18 inchers, 2000 model, full aero kits, TRD grill, black hed lamps etc) perfect condition and the reason we is selling it because he upgraded himself to caldina.
Give me a call man.
