this is the most impressive driving dynamics I have ever experienced in a four door sedan.
I've been seeing one by my workplace and the exterior looks is gradually growing on me. I had an 06 325i, and i can honestly say that the coupe looks better than the sedan body.

i feel the exact same way.....about the IS350.
These are dailey driver cars period. Most people sit in them in rush hour traffic. They rarely if ever see a track. If I really wanted a drivers car, I wouldnt take a 335, I would keep my Sti and with the extra money even throw in a 2002 S2000 for a true driving experience.

It's a coupe (2 door).

All three cars are very good. The Lexus is clearly the luxury leader and the BMW the most spartan.
I don't commute and rarely put myself in situations where I sit in traffic. I always want a driver

I have owned a BMW in the past and said I would never pay the premium again, but will eat those words to buy this car. It will also be difficult to stretch my budget to fit it in because 47.7K is a bit more than I planned for, but after driving many cars over the years this is the most impressive driving dynamics I have ever experienced in a four door sedan.

Got my production number today, on a Black / Coral Leather / 6 speed manual - Turbo 335 I Coupe.
Got every option possible, out the door with tax was 53k.
I can't wait.

I've always had the same difficulty in purchasing a BMW over other brands. The driving dynamics have always been superior but I've never been able to justify the $10-$15k premium, especially if you factor in the reliability and cost of maintenance factors. That's why I ended up with a S2K instead of the Boxster S.
Is the 335 that superior that the price difference is justified?

IMO the 335i exists explicitly to compete with the G35C, although BMW would never say that.





,I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I like its "understated" elegance. Sure beats the hell out of a Camry when your driving it.
