Which car to choose? A5, bmw 335xi, g37x

Hey guys. I currently have a g35 coupe and my lease is up.

I need opinions about each of the following cars.

A5
BMW 335XI
G37X

A5 is around 48k with the desired options i want
BMW 335XI is around 51k
G37X = 46k

The cheapest and best deal is the G37X but I want a change from my g35 coupe.

What do you think?

Thanks guys.
[b]

try to save up a lil more for the S5. Otherwise I would go with the G37x sedan for its value and practicality.

G37x sedan can probably be had for under 40k... G37x coupe is nice, the HR motor pulls a lot harder than the motor in your current G. So if money is a BIG factor then get either one of these... The 335 is a beast also, with 400HP capabilities with just a tune, if it's the coupe, i'd get this but at 51k, that's kinda high for a "3" series (a friend of mine bought his 335 hardtop convertible for right at 50k). And The a5 is just sex... It's slightly under powered than the other 2 you posted, but it'll definitely catch more looks than a G37 and 335... A buddy of mine has a A5, and no one notices my G if that car is parked next to it...

I never liked the Audis, and I still don't. IMO, Beemer all the way, or if you can't afford it, get the G. I'd never even look at the A5, it's butt-ugly to me.

a fully loaded S5 will run you about 60k. i'd save a little and get an S5, if your considering the 335xi at 51k i bet you could find nice s5 with close to all the options for around 55k.

used with 10k or less on the ODO and you can find a loaded S for low $50's

Now would you like the S "Lite"? Try taking your car on an 800 pound diet:

Try to save for an S5, I feel like the A5 is an underpowered car; besides, I've always felt Audi's are kinda boring. They do have nice interiors though.

However, I'm not sure if you plan on leasing your next car, but I've heard of great deals on leasing the E92 M3's. One of my friends got into one for not much more than his lease for the 335 would have been. If you can manage to score a deal on the M............DO IT!

So why aren't I jealous of the 335i then? You can't accept that I find the Audi ugly? IMO, the BMW is a better car in every way, except maybe the interior, which isn't that big of a deal when you're mopping the floor with an S5 in a 335i. And yes, I said S5, because it's a waste of 335 against the A5, even a 328 will do.

thanks guys.

i dont like the S5 front and rear bumpers. just looks too aggressive and overdone.

i just want a classy ride but with enough oomph to the pedal. 0-60 on A5's are 5.9 sec approximately. that's enough for me

so the leading vote is A5 so far? i am testdriving it tomorrow and ill tell you how it rides.. =)

thanks again guys

I'm still not a huge fan of the G37. If you want Audi's equivalent of the 335, you need to get the S5. A5 is slow as ****. So of your choices, go 335xi.
