428 vs. 435 GC

DocB · 09-30-2014, 12:12 PM

Assuming you could afford either one, which would you choose and why?

KneeDragr · 09-30-2014, 12:15 PM

Id get the 428 because I have already own a fast car and dont need the power to commute and take trips in. Fuel economy is better, insurance is cheaper, as is the sticker price.

If I could only have 1 car I would get the 435 so it would be more suited for trackdays and mountain runs.

Pricing aside - 435 GC. Even with pricing - 435 GC.

435 GC

I love the looks of that car (I would trade my 335i on a hart beat for it), and the N55 engine with power kit it is just a amazing! A true fast and reliable machine! IMO

435 mainly because of the looks! (tailpipes). 430d in Europe because I want rwd, good economy/performance and just a little less than ridiculous taxes to pay

Don N. · 09-30-2014, 03:19 PM

What is the current price difference between the two right now that you guys are seeing?

nicknaz · 09-30-2014, 03:47 PM

435 GC is way more interesting to me than 428.. more power and more utility.

For a 2 dr coupe, I would personally want more power than the 428

435i, because there's nothing better than a sweet BMW inline six motor.

I test drove both and no doubt if money is not an issue the 435i, having said that the 428i is a very fun car to drive around at high speeds (with out breaking the laws).
I've enjoyed my GC since day one...no regrets of getting the 428i

BobGonwild · 09-30-2014, 09:40 PM

435 hands down just for the engine if money is not an issue. However, I'd opt for the 435 coupe or convertible!

Babo335 · 09-30-2014, 10:04 PM

The 435 would be my choice because of the same reason that most of the members in this forums like that engine. Inline six.

435. Do it.

alienranch · 10-01-2014, 08:31 AM

Your'e going to be hard pressed to get many votes for a 428 if money is of no concern.

mike@x-ph.com · 10-01-2014, 12:05 PM

i would pick the 435 since it is faster

Saphirschwarz · 10-01-2014, 12:46 PM

435 Manual coupe. Nuff said lol

VMRWheels · 10-01-2014, 02:55 PM

4 3 5 .. modding the 4cyl is just not as rewarding

cracing · 10-03-2014, 01:14 AM

if money is not an issue, why not 335?

I prefer the look of the 4series

JasonX4MComp · 10-04-2014, 08:17 AM

435. The 6 is so much smoother than the 4cyl and love the extra power
