Not sure how something rated to pull the same Gs and identical outer dimensionsand with a higher power to weight ratio counts as a boat. But if you mean my car because it's a convertible, then my answer is it outhandles an m3 coupe in oem trim, again has same outer dimensions, and has more power and torque than three 328s. And I can enjoy the roof down year long where I live so a vert really makes sense. So again, please clarify?

Btw, it probably also outperforms your air cooled 911 too. Lol. I to am looking at a less powerful car as a DD. And same price range too. But my choice is a 335d that i can mod so I get double your power, same other performance aspects, better mpg, and a better back seat for driving clients. A more fun and practical choice for the same money. Enjoy.

And btw, what hair got up your rear? You overpaid and want praise. When we, not me, said you overpaid you started trashing my car. I pointed out you had other options that I would gave prefered. I never put your car down. I never put a 328 down. This post or others. Other posts I have retorted to slimeballs who try to diefy a 328 over a 335 with no other differences except turbo or not. Never voicing less money, or or other differences that would validate their claims. And with you I've provided several examples to show you overpaid. And don't say well it doesn't have this or that option. No options at this point change the car's value. Having the $4500 idrive vs not having it barely moves the used car price a couple hundred bucks. A $2k new aesthetic package isn't worth $2k 5 years and 70k miles later. So suck it up and stop looking for praise for making a poor deal. Ain't happening.

Maybe he's still within the return period and we can save him some money by finding another 328 for less then $10k..

[Fundguy1]

Or thar 30k 335is you found for a couple bucks more. "IS" beats msport all day.

Dude comes into BMW forum asking for an honest answer about his recent purchase. A bunch of forums vets give him an answer.. Answer is not to his satisfaction so he gets butt hurts and starts insult members vehicles. Not realizing that some of the dudes he is insulting pretty much drive rockets.

[Fundguy1]

If he'd asked for our thoughts on the deal beforehand and also asked for leads, recommendations, etc maybe he'd have saved a few grand or found something he likes more. He immediately bashed the 335 as something that breaks and said 328 was more reliable. Must have been reading the comparisons from 5 years ago before they replaced the wastegates and hpfp on the n54s with revised models. I would have recommended a solid LCI 335i for him. Every bit as reliable, more options and features, same price, and twice the power with a simple tune. SMH. Why do these guys ask after?

It's psychology, most people just want a pat on the back and not the cold, hard truth. I'll be 38 January 1st and from my life experiences I learned the most from people willing to tell me like it is. The hard truth tends to put things into perspective for you.

[Fundguy1]

I want to hear the truth good or bad, not have sunshine blown up my ass. Helps you learn and improve. I'm 49. I try to learn more every day, look at things objectively, weigh both sides, form my own opinion, keep an open mind, and use criticism constructively to learn from my mistakes, weaknesses. I wasn't slamming him. I was giving him my opinion as requested on a deal he made. 13 posts and he's attacking me because I had the audacity to say the truth that he overpaid. Guess this is the age of whiners who attack people who disagree even with contrary facts are presented. Sorry. This is the real world, not the fantasy land you say it is.

Guess you didn't see that it has accident damage with airbag deployment....

Never said I was interested in a 335i and I don't care that it can be modded to the hilt. I didn't ask for a value comparison to any model of 335i/is/d. I could have easily bought a salvage title 335i put $10k into it and made you cry.

Doesn't make it a better car imho. You guys sound like a combination of a corvette owner and a mk4 Supra owner.. pretty comical!!

Keep going guys I'm enjoying this!

I had a 07 328 back in the day.. No one here is knocking the 328. You asked a question about pricing and where given an answer from people who have some expertise on the issue. What they where saying is that for that price, IF you looked around a little bit, you could have had the same car for at least $2k less.
The other point made is that for the price you paid you could have had a 335 within the same mileage range. These where just valid points being made, no one was attacking your decision. Seems you're upset because no replied to your question with a pat on the back. This is simply because we know you did not get a good deal. That's all. In the future come to a car forum of what ever brand you are shopping for and ask the members there if the price the dealer is giving you high or fair.

My dad actually owns a vette (and my bro a new ZL1) and my best friend also owns an MK4, and I sound nothing like any of them, but thanks for the compliment, very sweet of you..

And that was just used as a gauge, that you can pickup a 335is for basically the same price as what you just paid for a 328i lol.. And it looks all nice and pretty so I'm sure the minor fender bender it was in, has no affect on the car itself..

I like 328's, I think they are great cars, I actually tried to get my girl to trade her 128 for a 328, but the 1 was "more girly" so she kept it.. But she also didn't overpay for her 1 series, i wasn't bout to let that happen.. Just as if you would have came here prior to purchasing yours, we would have not let that happen.. We're all just here to help, but when people get butt-hurt that's when everyone starts to make fun of them..

I guess you really don't know my car if that's what you think. Try 25k on a pristine one to keep up.

I don't have much of an opinion, but why show up here asking if you got a good deal? Nobody is going to be happy if you did, and nobody is going to lie to you if you didn't. What did you stand to gain making this thread? I tend to agree that it's silly to get upset because you didn't get the response you wanted from a bunch of dudes on a car forum.

[3002 tii]

I think you paid up but prices vary depending on geography. That same car could've probably been had for 15 to 15.5 in my area. But paying 1k premium for a specific color/option combo isn't crazy. Enjoy the car.

No you fucking cannot. I Bought my Msport 328i and there wasn't any 335is (manual) below 22K. Come to think of it, I don't really remember seeing much of any Msport (sedan or coupes) anywhere. There was an 11' Msport Sendan, manual, blue and N52 and that was 22K.

Sure you can. We were looking at half a dozen e92 335i for under $13k. 100k miles there abouts. Loaded, some with coral red interiors. Some verts. Go to an e90 and take off 2 grand more. The only difference between sport and msport is anthracite headliner, bumpers, and the steering wheel trim. You can get those installed or ones you prefer over them for $2k and sell off your old parts for a net of a grand in cost. Big whoop. So basically he could have had the same car, in a vert 335i instead of a 328i coupe, plus more options for $2k less. Hmmm

[Fundguy1]

2008 e93 335i sport 6mt 80k $13k. You were saying?
