how bout holding out for an M3???????
50 grand is a tough amount to swallow considering people are driving around in basically the same car for 15-20 grand less but if it was an M, then it'd all make sense |

I would hold until the V8 E90 Motorsport is available. I love the 4-Door E90; and for me , I would not pay 25% more for a not much better looking 3-series coupe with 2 doors less. ( Same reason I got the C55 instead of CLK55 ). I would wait and also check out the E90 turbo. Or even I go for a handsome 2-door, E93 Turbo Cab or a CLK500 V8 388hp coupe/cab should be all on my list for evaluation. Rushing for the E92 is only good for those who have quited for the E90 and now need a BMW sports badly.

i will hold out & wait for the M3. If the e92 335i is hitting 50k territory, that makes a 65k M3 relatively cheaper & value for money (65k is just my wild guess).

Corvettes STARTs at $44,500 i dont think many owners would want just the bare min for that car, add a few options and what not and you're in the mid to upper 50's. I dont really think thats in the same price range. Close but not the same unless for some reason the 335s start at 45k which is kinda outta the league when they seem to always be compared to the g35s and TLs. If you want a powerful car and an american why why not a Pontiac GTO? that starts around 33k. That be my "alternative" even though i'm not a fan of american cars.

Of all the American stock I drove......the Mustang GT had the most BMW point and shoot feel ....... I think the Cobra is going to be a killer w 500 HP on top of a solid platform

For the folks who are 'waiting' (for the 335, ZHP, or E92 M3) why not just take over someone's short-term lease like on www.leasetrader.com if you want something to drive around right now? Many leases 12 months and under can be had...some with ridiculously low payments since the original leasees may be forking up cash incentives for you to take over them.

I see dealers givin them away, U could get one for 30K OTD, yes that includes 4 leather bucket seats 6 speed manual 6.0 L Corvette LS2 400HP 400lb-ft... I mean u know the details. for 30K OTD, it is a nice "option" or a toy I test drove one, and I test drove the 335i, unluckily the BMW "test drive" was sceduled after the GTO "joy-ride". to each his own. I would also look up the a barely used C55 AMG. ultimate sleeper. again to each his own. |

I wish prices here in the UK were the same as in the USA. I took delivery of my E92 335i a couple of weeks ago and the price i paid converts to roughly $81k so i think for $50k your getting a fantastic car for a great price.

I don't think one can compare prices in different countries. In the UK you may earn more than one would in the US doing the same job. It's about the economy and cost of living. In Japan, everything is expensive, but at the same time the people there on average have higher salaries than the US. I've seen it first hand.

i spent 62 k and got her fully loaded and never thought twice i love every feature and it is worth it when i look at my parents new S63 they were first in the country to get it or at least first in the midwest!!!! the car ius a beast by the way...way way way nicer than the old s 55's...i was super pumped about my car and ehhh about the new s63 at first but when i drove the s63 for the first time i was overly shocked at how awesome it was and how awesome the seats are!!!!! but all in all i would rather drive my 335 than the s63 as an everyday driver...but that is b/c of the nimbleness...ehh different tastes for diff folks!!!!!!

when I ordered my 335 i was excited, then 2 weeks before delivery I had the same thoughts (i think it's just natural to think like that), but I could not come up with a better car for me... i test drove many car
lexus is350 - didn't like it, and it's expensive too g35 - didnt like at all test drove used e500 and it was nice, but with auto i'd be bored in a month a4 - nope used boxter - i dont see myself driving one used 745 - was the only thing i liked, but early models had alot of problems, and 750 is way too much $ for me, then count in gas expense anyways, i didnt cancel 335 and took delivery, and oh man i'm glad I did... it's a perfect car for me, trust me once you take delivery you won't look back, there's NO better car in its class imho... everything feels right in it, i just finished breake in, pushed it few times to redline, and I had a huge smile on my face hopefully fuel pump wont give up haha ;> |

If you're looking for a cheaper BMW wait for the 1. If that's "not enough car" pay the 50k or do an ED and save. W/ that discount there really is no competition,

C55 is fugly, but i am sure it also brings the ultimate sleeper looks with the "fugly". Same true for the GTO. who knows. No replacement for Displacement. |
