A little too much don't you think?

I understand your pain but you can always get the 328.. you still need to set aside some money for insurance and gas.

EXCUSE ME.

The 3 series IS BMW

I can afford any car in the BMW stable.

I chose the 335i.

lose the step

Get it via ED at 1k over invoice and you're closer to 42k. Still a lot of $; personally I would forego the ZPP, CA, ZCW, & step. Then you are around 38k. I appreciate the ability to buy what's important to me: BMW handling & engine, without the luxuries that would price it out of the rational choice range.

One more thing lose the CW and just get heated seats. Headlight washers suck and the ski bag is a joke.

I'm just saying, the 3 is like a cockroach around here. It's not going to impress anyone, it's not fancy or special.

it's a nice car, but it is "lowly" as it's so boring and common.

I can afford any car in the BMW stable too, and I choose a Z4 and 325 big whoop de doo

really, the 3 is just like a accord or camry that just drives better

Personally I rather like the heated headlight washers. I hated having to run (on ice most likely) to the front of my QX4 throughout the winter with a paper towel and glass cleaner just to keep my lighting illumination efficient.

Went to dealer to check out 328ci. Black with cream. Looks alright. I like the CLS style wheels better than the 335. Looks too femine for me. Will keep the 330i and trade up to the M3.

That is pretty freaking GOOD if you ask me...the E46 coupe cost me $44,000 back in 2003 and the 335i is a way better car in general! A 335i for $2,500 more? Heck yea!

You also have to factor in inflation! 3% a year average = 9% (for 3 years) or 13% (for 4 years). So, using 11% (as an average), you get 48840 (44000 * 1.11) ... so, in other words, after factoring in inflation ... the 2006 335i is actually cheaper than the 2003 330i was.

Simple1 · 08-27-2006, 10:48 AM

my car cost $47,970 do I think it was too much?? not really since I was about to get a the 530i which was 10k more than the 335i (almost Fulled loaded). You should always cut your coat according to it's size and have no regrets life is too short!! I'm not telling you to put yourself in a bind just enjoy life that's all, lol

Your 3 series is only lowly because of the way you configured it
