Cost isn't an issue. It's about the downtime and constant fuckups of a turbo charged car. There's always something "not right"

Seriously, regular maintenance cost is way more than it would be for the 335. Repair work is even more expensive. I'd stay away from any HigH End High HP car if cost is a factor.

Riick, When i said non turbo cars i was referring to all cars, but the same goes for High HP engine cars in high end models like BMW, Lexus, Ferrari, Lamborgeni ect... Stick to a Camaro/mustand if you want a fast semi reliable car with low repair costs. An M3 could cost you more than a 335 at the end of the day when it comes to basic repairs.

Riick has a personal vendetta against turbo cars.

To him they are always in a state of perpetual disrepair and every single one will suffer a disastrous failure. In turn this will leave you broke, divorced and doing shameful things for money in an alleyway at 3am.

Just move along...

I was pretty dead set on getting a 335, even test drove 4-5 of them, but since I rarely would use that extra power, I decided to test drive a 328 and see if it would be sufficient for me. Since I come from a handful of Japanese 4-cylinders, the inline-6 had enough low-end torque for me to be happy.

I ended up buying a 2011 328i w/ xDrive and couldn't be happier. There have been a few times when I feel like it falls flat in terms of sheer "fun" factor when mashing down the pedal, but overall the car is great for daily driving. My wife wants me in a larger car though, so if I move up to a 5er, I feel like I would need some extra juice to get that extra weight moving along.

OP, fwiw I still miss my '07 335i and regret selling it.

Dark_Knight_335 · 04-25-2014, 08:30 AM

Ouch. I think you'll definitely miss the power. EDIT- I see it's an F30. Isn't that a 4 cylinder turbo? I think it's right around 260 HP. In sport mode, it'll be enough I think. GL!

You have a Porsche 991 FFS- how do you miss your 335?

Having owned many turbo cars, I'm just over them. That's all. Nothing beats the power delivery of an N/A car.

To each their own. Power delivery on the N54 is outstanding IMO. And if early reviews are valid, the F8x M has better power delivery than the E9x M3.

+1 The power delivery of the N54 is almost instantaneous. Much less lag then older turbo cars.

I personally couldn't lose the power. But it is the smarter financial choice. Best of luck with your decision. I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you decide brotha
