Informal Poll: lease is up on 335i sedan in 14 months..what do you replace it with?

S4to335 · 10-06-2008, 04:41 PM

Dont say get a coupe. That wont work for me. I also dont want to buy it out of the lease.

F30aa · 10-06-2008, 04:42 PM

Another 335i?

Formulaonehifi · 10-06-2008, 04:51 PM

ask me again in 13 months - no point in thinking about it this far in the future.

cstavaru · 10-06-2008, 04:57 PM

Its great, because until then I am sure a 4.0 liter twin turbo engine will appear either on the 3 or 5. You can then buy that

My dream car besides the 335i is not M3 or M5 (because I like brutally fast acceleration at low RPM) but a 5-series with a twin-turbo 4liter engine producing about 440-450hp...

S4

Joonsup · 10-06-2008, 05:30 PM

Get the 338i sedan

joec500 · 10-06-2008, 05:32 PM

Can you sell me your Dinan Tune

I wonder if they are transferable?

Will the B8 S4 be out by then? If not it should be soon, maybe you could extend your BMW lease a couple of months?

With the way the economy is going you might be able to get a deal on an E90 M3?

Everything else in this range is really Meh....possibly the C63 AMG if you are ok with a tip style tranny.

Year's_End · 10-06-2008, 05:34 PM

14 months is a long ways away dude. I dunno...an S4 or a facelifted e90 would be at the top of my list.

bmwguy123 · 10-06-2008, 05:37 PM

will the e93 coupe facelift be out by 2010?

Personally, I'm a leave it stock and drive it kind of guy, so my picks are:

-Z06 (brand new $60k, smoking deal)
- M3 sedan (i like it and think it is an awesome track ready DD, even though others think its not worth the cost over 335)
- M5 if you can get it for the same lease price as M3 like others suggest.. that's awesome
- EVO / STi (track day econo boxes..)
- 997 C2S (can't go wrong with this..)

DrGP · 10-06-2008, 06:26 PM

Couple of thoughts:

1) New M3 Sedan.

2) Mercedes C63 AMG

3) B8 S4

I'm personally going to check out the S4 before my lease runs out in 18 mos. Unfortunately, Audi lease rates have not been very attractive lately

David 12 · 10-06-2008, 06:39 PM

Is 550 horsepower enough? If so, I would consider the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V followed by the Mercedes C63 AMG.

DenverJayhawk · 10-06-2008, 06:42 PM

Honda Insight Hybrid

ybbiz34 · 10-06-2008, 07:10 PM

C63 AMG

ianbiz · 10-06-2008, 07:20 PM

S4

seanl · 10-06-2008, 07:40 PM

I would say you have plenty of time to ponder it....14 months is an eternity from now.

kevinbahnz · 10-06-2008, 07:41 PM

how much money you got. what can you afford.

What 4.0 liter turbo? The only engine I know of is the 4.4 liter V8 twin turbo in the new X6 xdrive 50i and F01 750i. As for the original poster, I would get either the new S4 or a CTS V. Both look to be incredible cars.

Curt2000 · 10-06-2008, 08:23 PM

C63....test drove one the other day....damn, the thing sounds amazing...same class and size as the E90...looks like sex....and is a effin beast
