Vert is over 71k.

LOL!!!

[msall]

A loaded 335i costs $66K here in Canada not even the IS. At that price might as well go for an M!

[Htown09]

You could buy a GTR, C6 Z06 for that. 335is pricing - FAIL!

[ciomas]

for 20hp extra? ....nah

[Alexander]

So much fail...

No doubt....and I'd take both over it as well. As a matter of fact, I am looking at both of those for my next purchase in early 2011.

Jesus. I would have opted for a decently equipped Caymen S for that price.

[iBoost]

pricing on it is ridiculous

I wonder if BMW just did this "is" because of us on this forum, trying to get us all enthusiast to bend over for them.

Do you guys think they'll lower the price on it?

[scottp999]

Yeah - that will price many out. I got mine new, similarly equipped for almost 10k less in 2007.

I know the currency is dog meat, but wow. Lots of people have not had their nominal wages go up much, let alone their real wages.

[cn555ic]

Holy shit I am glad I have my 07 E93 which in 12 months will be fully paid off....I paid top dollar back then which I felt robbed, but Jesus 71+....thats almost 5000 more for the same model car and motor ! Damn!!!!!!! I am very happy and content with my 07!!

sweet mother of god, I would be kinda embarassed to tell ppl how much I spent on a 3 series esp since its not even an M

For real. Would rather shell out a little more for a 911.

[bavarian19]

BMW failed on this one. Pricing is just insane.

[Alexander]

What happened to the 3 series that I used to know???

I've own/ owned a E30 E36 E46 E90....

Lol your right I would be so embarassed about the price I paid.

Guy 1: I got a great deal on my 911 Turbo 70k!
You: Wow...
Guy1: How much was your 3 series, its kind of cute
You: 71k....
Guy 1: Is it an M?
You: Gun in mouth, trigger pulled, dead.

The "is" increase in power is modest, most of the "is" charm is in the area of cosmetics and joy.

[Jed]

Crazy. I mean you could build a 335is with the BMW Performance Power Kit and exhaust with less on a 07-10 for less (if you were going factory-I know everyone's going say JB3/Procede for the win). Granted you wouldn't have that overboost feature, but still...

I would think that part of it might be attributed to the way Audi's been structuring their models. Not too long ago, the S type cars were competing with the M class BMWs, but now you have a non-M 335s that can give it right back and they have to have RS models. Essentially it's positioned now between the regular A class and RS class cars.

I would think that the 335is is positioned right there-sort of like having a regular 3, BMW Performance 3 and then the M3 to correspond with the A4, S4 and RS4.

[Noc57]

That's about the same price you can pick up a slightly used GT-R for.

....I'll take the GT-R.

[BTM]

I'd take a slightly used C6 Z06 and spend 30k on mods

Wow 70K for a Non M 3 Series....... what the hell is BMW thinking, this should be on a banner on the main page of e90post.com

2016 120K M3's are next.....


I would take a lightly used 911 over ANY 3 series.

[The J-Man]

$65K is the MSRP for a fully loaded model - nobody will pay that. Most of the is coupes will sell in the $56K range nicely equipped - still pricey though.
