Unhappy Pick Your Poison

Just for fun which would you choose?

Both are used with an asking price of $35,000. The 335i has 9,817 miles and the EVO has 11 miles.

German or Japanese, RWD or AWD, luxury or performance? The choice is yours but
there

Hmmm 35k seems a bit high for the EVO.

Edit: I just noticed 11 miles. How does it have only 11 miles and it's used?

Depends what you want. Are you growing up and fun isn't important?

If I was commuting about 45+ minutes a day, I would choose the BMW. If I work from home and drive for the simple joy, then the EVO.

Personally I would get the Evo, but not the MR edition. I would get the regular GSR model, that's if you want to mod it. If you plan on keeping it stock then the MR should be okay. If you want the mod the MR, anything over 350whp, the transmission will go out on you. And there is going to be transmission upgrades for the MR, but it's going to cost around $4,000 and about $1,000 for install.

But.....The 335 has the potential to be in for repairs weekly......Think about all the different loaners you can be driving. It's like buying many cars, not just one. Smart thinking.

Taking 335i personally over Evo MR. However, answer would change if you are comparing 335i to Evo GSR

Buying or leasing? And if buying, are you ok with 800-1100 brakejobs after 50,000 miles?
Just need to keep that in mind. That 39K will run out fast.

i would choose the bmw, because it will outlast its value and if you are growing up then its a nice all around car. Family, Gf, show off, whatever...


The Evo is also nice but pleases the younger crowd more and plus you will spend more on insurance and gas while not having the bling of the bmw. And a 300hp turboed bmw those things are fast enough...

again it depends on who you are and what you want in life.
