car decision! Need ur input.

///M3NACE · 11-12-2007, 12:48 AM

im going to sell my 330i and will be getting about 31k for it. My choices as of right now would be a used 335i, 135i brand new, audi s4 b6,evo 10. I know what yall are thinking about the evo but i read alot of stuff about it and waiting to see if its nice. i need to sell my car soon and need to look into these cars before i buy it so i need ur input. keep in mind im going to buy this in march.

Evo X will cost more than $31k...unless you're just planning on not paying the whole thing at once.

Evo IX already range from $32-35k, depending on if you wanted 5speed or 6speed and if you want the BBS wheels with Bilstein suspension, and if you want leather, upgraded sound, and sunroof or not.

Can you really get a brand new 135i for $31k? If so, I'd go that route.

///M3NACE · 11-12-2007, 01:00 AM

sorry 35-38k for price.

wj4 · 11-12-2007, 01:29 AM

Watch as they mark up the Evo X's when they hit just like they did with the VIII back in 03. South Coast Mitsu has already begun taking deposits for it. I'm a fan of the 4G63 and MT9A chassis, but I really dislike the Evo X.

walk...it's better for the environment and it will save you a ton of money and decision making.

BMWE90 · 11-12-2007, 01:40 AM

hmmm, wait and test drive the 135 first and then make up your mind. I wouldnt buy the Evo or STI because they're straight up rally cars. S4 would be pretty cool too.

Vannak · 11-12-2007, 01:59 AM

Well if you don't mind the smaller size, I say go for the 135i

asdflkijd · 11-12-2007, 02:03 AM

stick with BMW, 335i FTW or wait till the 135i comes out, if money wasnt a problem you should look into the s5.. cant compete with the 335i but its defiantly worth the $$$, whole different league.

Pimp Star · 11-12-2007, 02:14 AM

BMW E90/92 335i or Audi S4.

jerrym · 11-12-2007, 02:42 AM

stick with bmw.. or audi.. dont get a mitsubishi unless you dont care about the downgrade.

ChrisMT79 · 11-12-2007, 02:45 AM

335i, or xi... end thread.
(depending on how short you are maybe 135)

E(@M# · 11-12-2007, 02:55 AM

135i /end...best bang for the buck...or the evo

335Transformer · 11-12-2007, 08:53 AM

Audi S4. I have an '05 and I have come to realize that there are about 1000 things that are better about the S4 than my 335. The only reason I have the 335 is because of the HT vert.

How is the S4 better?
Silk nappa leather vs. crap Dakota, steering, braking, road feel, Bose stereo blows the HK away, buttery smooth V8 vs. buzzy 6, exhaust note, paint is far superior, rear seat room, seat comfort, safety ratings, traction.

U r just talking about the badge right?
I don't think evoX would be that big of a downgrade in performance!

Not everyone is a badge whore

UltimateBMW · 12-05-2007, 02:43 AM

135i or the Evo.

I like the new Evo, think it has some nice lines that break up its old stereotype as a box.

Leesi · 12-05-2007, 05:02 AM

You have plenty of time, you might want to test drive every single one of those choices. Anyway, I go against the Evo, it's a can.

nmulax · 12-05-2007, 09:00 AM

Why not an E46 M3?
You can find a CPO 2003-2004 for that price range.

superman · 12-05-2007, 09:55 AM

135i!

Chris

TheAcAvenger · 12-05-2007, 10:08 AM

Haven't we already seen enough 135i price numbers to know he's not going to be able to get one for anything near 31k?
