Still On The Fence

NUFC3 · 03-12-2013, 07:32 AM

Finding a 328 manual and 335 manual to drive back to back is difficult. So I am still on the fence about which engine to order. Looks wise I like the 328i M Sport in Estoril Blue. With the options I want the car is MSRP $45,245. If I go with the 335 I may need to forego the M Sport package and go with Sport. With options the 335 Sport lists for $47,445. So $2200 is a difference I think I can handle. Which would you pick? And why?

I would go for the 335 I was looking at the two also but once I optioned them out with the same equipment there was only a $3,300 difference so it was a no brained for me.

335i. Power, plain and simple. Granted, the 328i is a quick vehicle, and the piggyback ECU's and other mods can get the power up pretty high, but if you are interested in all that, perhaps you really should just go for the 335i and acknowledge your power addiction! Ultimately, it comes down to price. If you can afford the 335i and have no problem spending a little more, then go for it. Otherwise, I think the 328i is a great vehicle and you will be happy with it too.

the 335i has many standard features that you have to pay extra on 328i

If you can afford it , go for the 335.

the sport line is great, but if you really love M Sport Line, I'd sacrifice one or two unnecessary pkgs for it.
