Hi guys, cool site, tons of info and stuff. I been lurking around for a bit and decided ask for a small bit of help. The cars in question are the 335xi and 335i. As configured, both are practically the same minus the drivetrain. It doesn't help that one is only $300 more than the other either.

To aid in the choice process, they won't be used for any extreme conditions other than the summer's 95-115*F weather and the winter's 40 and sometimes 30s degree weather. Driving distances vary from the usual 10-15 or sometimes 200 miles trips. I live in SoCal, so gridlock stock and go will probably be seen its life a few times.

Here are both of them, just wanted some input, sorry if the pics are a bit big. Moreover, anyone know the current average wait time for the 335 series?

Choice A: 335i



Choice B: 335xi

335i def. I think the xi for your conditions are a bit unnecessary. I also feel that the 335i performs a bit better, but thats my opinion. Its not like you get snow fall, so the all wheel drive is not really worth it. I'd rather go for the 335i, you get performance and a BMW. 335i all the way!

Hmmm so the AWD is probably not worth the extra $300 (read: cool and rare factor).

Also, anyone know the current average wait time for the 335 series?

Dude I live in Long Island NY so we get some bad snowy weather. If you lived here Ide get the xi, but with your temps stick with the 335. If we had weather like you i wouldnt of gotten the awd

If you compare apples to apples, its not really $300 its $1700 difference because you added the $1400 Active Steer option to the 335i.
