I let the buyer of my SVT know of this site and it's wealth of information, so hopefully you'll still see my old car around. I guess I'll be trolling around for now... 
Can you give a quick comparison between the 325 and the SVT in terms of power and handling, and general drivability? I know what the differences are on paper, and have driven many BMWs but I'd like your feedback as you actually own the car now and have had time to arrive at a thorough comparison. I can guess what you will say but I'd still like your viewpoint. Obviously in terms of overall quality and precision the SVT doesn't measure up, but I'm just curious if the 2.5 in the bimmer does the job and the standard 16" wheels cut the mustard as far as handling.
Thanks if you post feedback.
2000 Ford Contour SVT, black, bone stock.
