I can't decide e92 335i or M3!!! Help.

paperchaser · 11-05-2008, 11:58 PM

Hey guys, I noticed a bunch of guys previously owned a 335i. I would really like to know why you traded up to an m3. I cannot make up my mind. I will be ordering one or the other by the end of the weekend. I want to be sure I make the right decision.

I drove them both and still cannot decide. My views for now: If I get a 335i there will be some modding jb3, full exhaust, wheels etc.(probably more because I am sure you guys know once you start you can't stop

) The M3 would probably get wheels intake and exhaust IDK ( but less modding since its 1.more expensive and 2. already more sporty)

Thanks for listening! I look forward to reading your point of views.

For $10K-20K you are getting 2-3 times the car if you go with a //M3, Plus DCT!!!

Add in the 0.9% Finance Rates for a 2008 and Invoice Pricing or 3.9% for a 2009 with iDrive 2.0 and you would be insane not to get an //M3.

But I am biased...just got mine today 11/5.

2009 e90 //M3 Sedan IB/Red Fox Leather, DCT.

That was Easy.

Cheers,

PS Debated the 335i vs. //M3 also and the add-ons to make a super 335i are almost as much as the //M3 with everything already included.

get the 335

If you have to ask, you don't really want an M. For most M buyers, the question is not to M or not to M? It's what color M?

414AW · 11-06-2008, 12:41 AM

Put them side by side and I'm sure you'll lean towards the M

If you drove both and can't decide you don't deserve an ///M

Go for the 335i

haha... that is sooo true about what you said! When I heard about the M3 making its debut in Asia in Oct 2007, my thoughts were "Stuff it... I'm getting an M one way or another". Was my luck that the color that landed was my desired Alpine White.

Btw... is it me or are there just more Alpine Whites than any other colors? Starting to feel like a commoner. haha

Do you buy junior burgers or Big Macs?

+

Do you want to be known as a 335 driver or a M3 owner?

Hi mate,

I am sure that whichever option you select you have to make sure you are happy with the choice. Sometimes, its best not to ask others but to do/get what your gut tells you.

If you are inclined to crazy modding by all means the 335 is the way to go but if you are keen on raw engine power and precision handling then the M is the way to go.

Don't be disheartened by mod options for M, cos i am sure there will be loads of stuff available. Its all a matter of time and suiting out what you really want from the car.

Enjoy whichever car you get

thats the best advice i can give.

endofanera7 · 11-06-2008, 01:58 AM

How can one not able to decide between a 335i and an M3????

M3 is a "mod" that you can never put on an 335i! When the M3 1st released, I never ever look at a 335i the same.

couldnt of said it any better. i previously owned a 335i and the difference is night and day. Both are great cars but the 335i is no m.

Sticky · 11-06-2008, 02:46 AM

The 335 fits your mentality better.

armyav8tor · 11-06-2008, 03:09 AM

Get the 335i, you don't deserve to be here.

MrHarris · 11-06-2008, 04:28 AM
