328i all day long.
But as I said earlier the US M3 is basically a big 328 and would be a 330 anywhere else so if you were to go for a 328 as a daily, just go for the big 328 he already has and use the money not spent on another car, insurance etc to pay for the marginal difference in fuel costs. If he did a spreadsheet he'd probably finds out it either works out better or at least he is driving a better car.
