335xi sedan or 328xi coupe????

angler · 05-28-2009, 04:04 PM

ok, here is the dilemma. even though i have a year before my lease runs out i have been thinking that i might want a coupe rather than the sedan for my next car. with that being said i do not want pay to close to 50k for a 335xi coupe. so is it better to have the coupe with the smaller engine or the 335xi and keep the sedan? hard choice for me as i love the big engine but the coupe seems to be calling me. opinions please.
p.s. i need the xi as i live in snow country and i have a mile driveway with a 11% grade.
p.s.s. yes i know this is a high class problem

Get an E91 X wagon with CW and Premium packages (rear wiper is great in bad weather) and in the summer open up the enormous panoramic roof for the twisties!

Do you wanna go fast? Or look fast?

rkick08 · 05-28-2009, 04:32 PM

coupe, unless you plan on putting the car on the track or race everyday...

E90

GregL · 05-28-2009, 04:55 PM

Sedan, hands down.

cougfan335 · 05-28-2009, 05:03 PM

Pretty much this, take your pick. Maybe you can skip some expensive options and go for the E92 335?

cwhitpan · 05-28-2009, 05:37 PM

I got a 335Xi E90 SPECIFICALLY so I can trip up to Sugarbush, VT in the winter.

Much more friendly, and roomy than the coupe, which I like, and serves you well.

Bimmer007 · 05-28-2009, 06:28 PM

since you already have a 335xi you might feel disappointed in the way the 28i drives since you have been spoiled by the twin turbos. you should get the e90 and with the refresh they did it looks really nice. the only thing you are going to miss is the ashtray/storage cover

NewSong · 05-28-2009, 06:40 PM

The E90 is looking dated, even the LCI.

3pnt4maro · 05-28-2009, 07:47 PM

nothing wrong with the sedan..I actually prefer it to the coupe..not that I wouldnt take one but I never really even considered one when I was buying a new car

SEDAN son.
