Im currently looking for another car (currently 03 6mt coupe). Im torn between:

06/07 coupe
g37
07 tl-s
335i
328xi
............any other cars you can think of?

i live in CT and the car will be my daily driver. Im absolutley in love with the 335i, but im waiting a little to see if they have any engine problems. Im also looking into the 06/07 coupes due to their lowered price with the addition of the g37. The tl-s isnt really in the same category, but i think its a great car with an amazing interior in compairson to the other cars, so ill still consider it. However since this is my daily driver, im concerned about economy and we all know how much of a hog the G is. 335i has reports of 28 mpg hwy, but again im waiting to hear the reliability reviews on the bimmer.

What do you think is the best car for the money? Lend me your thoughts, thanks!

There's a difference between buying a car for a performance enthusiast (335i) compared to buying a car for a person who wants luxury and latest technologies (G37).

If you want the best car for the money... hands down it's the G37. BUT you must know what exactly you will be using the car for. If you're a big test track person, then 335i hands down. If you're just a casual driver who wants a luxury GT, then G37.

As quoted from Road and Track... "It’s a simple choice, the 335i for the track, or the G37S for the Autobahn."

If you're absolutely in love with the 335i... then get the car you're absolutely in love with. lol What's so hard about that decision?

... as dealing with the 06/07 coupe or 08 coupe... it's all based on opinion. The price definitely goes to the 06/07 coupe but pretty much everything else is just what matters to you and your opinion (performance, styling, luxury, technology, and so forth).

im only being cautious about the 335i since its bmw's first turbo engine in a long time....im worried about reliability and other issues that might come up. Has anyone heard anything?

G35x or 328xi since you live in CT. Either way, you should eliminate any worries related to the twin turbo N54. In the above, G35x if you want HP, 328xi if you want fuel economy and road feel.

not sure, but my brother in law just got an 07 TL-S and it is friggin sweet!!

[6spdG]

lol well this thread did not help me much...

guess im going back out for more test drives

if you can afford 335i with the maintenence cost, get it. if not G37, the looks will grow on you. I didn't like the way the 335i when it first came out. The more I see it the more I like it.

when the G35 coupe came out, I wasn't too crazy about it either. But now I love my G. hehe especially the kuruma Z

what maintenance cost? lol

[DaVince]

lol oh yeah!! I forgot it comes with 50000 miles no maintenance. I was talkin about cost after 50k.

I used to own the X5 maintenance on BEMERS sucks

06 coupe, mod it right... and you got a beast.. but yet you can have an even better one with 335i.. hmmm

[TURBOTOM]

cant go wrong with a 335i or G37.

How old are you man? If you are like say 30 or under I would say get a g37 coupe. I personally like Japanese performance cars and as such I would recommend a Lancer Evolution if you want the ultimate in performance and fun.
My dream garage would be a Skyline GTR, a new g37 coupe, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR and my current G35 sedan.

[6spdG]

im 23.

The more and more i look at the g37, the more i like it. especially in the stillen pics and there are some athens blue pics floating around. Definately going to wait to test drive it for myself. idk how all of these people can order g37's without driving them first.
