HELP AGAIN! 335is or M3

m4freak · 07-26-2011, 07:45 AM

Hey guys, previously I was looking for a 335xdrive or an older used M3. Now my options have changed and are a fully loaded brand new 335is lemans on oyster white with manual or a 2009 e92 M3 fully loaded minus EDC with 34,000kms and is DTC and i'm also getting brand new tires and warranty up till 160,000. Should I do the M3??

Ctm309 · 07-26-2011, 07:47 AM

Although your option is very nice, I would go for the M. Question, what warranty will you get 160,000 miles with?

F82_SID · 07-26-2011, 09:31 AM

Lemans and oyster sounds sexy! My buddy has that on his E90 335i and it is awesome! This might be one of the few times that I would suggest the 335is.

It will be 160,000 km's (~100,000 miles). That's the standard CPO warranty in Canada.

Twinbo · 07-26-2011, 09:43 AM

My choice would be (and will be) the M. I would look at residuals in 2, 3 and 4 years. I bet the 335is will drop significantly and the M will drop gradually and they will be worth the same in ~2.5 years.

That's only the financial side of the coin. What about 8400RPM V8!!!

Gkap · 07-26-2011, 09:45 AM

M no questions.

taylorcoleman · 07-26-2011, 10:03 AM

what does the 335 forum say

If you choose the 335is, every time an M3 passes, you will think

Pointerman · 07-26-2011, 10:35 AM

^what he said.

Grail05 · 07-26-2011, 10:38 AM

just because of the option? fawk the option get and m3 with whatever interior and call it a day...

3XTR3M3 · 07-26-2011, 10:45 AM

Yea, I agree... Ask the 335 guys so you get an unbiased answer.

lulz

Chrisfast · 07-26-2011, 10:49 AM

The 335 is a really nice car. That's why my wife drives one and not me.

Btw, if you do go with a 335, that color combo really does sound amazing.

Smokey · 07-26-2011, 11:08 AM

The 335iS is pretty nice: good exhaust note, bump in hp, unique appearance package and decent gas mileage, if you care about that. It also handles very well too, but the M is significantly better in terms of handling . Also, the note from the m's v8 is simply amazing. You can't go wrong with either car, but for pure fun and excitement, I'll take the m

335is is still a 335

LateBraking · 07-26-2011, 11:44 AM

Gete the 335is or the 335i x-drive. I think everyone in here recommending the M3 is doing it wrong.

James T. Kirk · 07-26-2011, 12:08 PM

There is nothing the 335is does better than the M3 other than have better gas mileage and costs less to acquire. Nothing else.

LateBraking · 07-26-2011, 12:10 PM

No, damn it, you're all doing it wrong!

Brooooooooo, The 335is has moar torkz and is cheeper and is just so much ossimer in every way. With onry 1k u kan haz blow teh doarz off of an M tree lite to lite every single night, yainorite?

Sincerely,
-An M3 Lover.

James T. Kirk · 07-26-2011, 12:20 PM

Oh, I get it.

Get the 335is and then lower the suspension, chip the turbo(s), get new wheels, change the brakes, upgrade the exhaust with quad tips, slap on a spoiler and then buy a hood with a couple of cool little vents in them!

Not like this hasnt been said before, but I had a 335is on order. I did nothing but have doubts about the decision with it being a $60k OTD 3 series. A loaded 2008 M3 Alpine White DCT with 29k miles popped up locally at a dealer and I couldnt get there fast enough. Cost me about $9k less than the 335is and all I can say now is that I understand the "M" crowd. Theres really no comparison.

All the people crying about no torque etc, get the M in the powerband which is almost instant and theres no looking back. I love the car, and Ive had a perma-smile for the last four days. I have NO DOUBT I made the right choice.

And that of course is my own opinion
