Just got g2 = 318i
you can probably still get the 325i but you'll probably wanna and get into trouble with it being still unexperienced.

welcome to max 
you'll be a good driver if you survive winter in a RWD car , especially if its your 1st car!
318 is cheaper, burns less gas, cheaper insurance, is 1000x's classier then many other 4 bangers in that price range.

I had a 318 M42, but I would go for 325.
I think it is easier to drive stickshift 325 in the city because the 318 has no power under 3000 rpm. That is my opinion.

Get an E36 or something if you are so concerned about 'chick magnet' LOL.

Yeah, E36 isn't exactly a 'chick magnet' either. I think you need a bro truck.

318. It's cheaper all around. I have an e36 318is, and it's not a horrible car. The 325 will probably get you in trouble. You can always upgrade to a 325 at a later time, once your older, pay less for insurance, and have more experience driving.
Save going fast for the track no matter which car you purchase. I speak from experience. As for the chick magnet thing. If it's a BMW, girls who don't know everything about BMW's, won't care what engine is in it. To them, it's still a BMW.

325 no doubt. M42 = waste of time.
