Question - Are the changes for the 2003 model gonna be significent enough for me to rethink my purchase of a bmw 330ci... or am I fine and dandy with my 2002 model purchase?

I am in same position as you, and many others are as I have seen this question before. I think we should wait and see if there are changes. The 2003 model will be September Delivery, so I think, by May/June the picture will become clearer.

Goodluck
