soon to be a new E92 328i owner

yahookendogg · 12-23-2006, 11:41 PM

Hello,

I currently own an 06' Nissan 350Z and it's for sale right now. I have some buyers that are interested so it should sell soon. I visited a local BMW dealership to test-drive the new E92 328i coupes and instantly fell in love with the car. Compared to the 350Z, power(it has less power but if i want more i can always go with the 335i), handling(i felt like it handled lil better than my Z), built quality(waaaay better than the Z lol), ride quality/drive feel(it feels much more solid and confident than my Z).

The one I test-drove had the "sport package" and the sticker was around $38K. It had the 18" wheels that sorta looked like BBS type wheels, really nice. Exterior color was "space gray" and interior color was "black" ; I think this color combination is the best lookin' for E92's

I haven't test-drove the 335i's but im pretty much set on the 328i's because I don't really need all that power(i think 328i's already have plenty), and 335i's seems really expensive(most of em had sport/premium packages). What should I expect to pay for this car? and has anyone here switched from cars like the 350Z?

Thanks

I have a G35Coupe and I test drove the 328xi yesturday. I had my heart set on 335xi but it seems like im gonna have to settle with the 328xi. The G35 is def more powerful than the 328, but than when i put it into "sport" mode it felt ALOT better and closer to the G....I wish i coulda test drove the 335 =P

For you sanity's sake, don't test drive something that you can't but want to buy!

Look carefully at the differences btw 328 & 335. You do not have to put up with whatever cars the dealer has in stock. You can order a 335 (or 328) anyway you want. You can also order European delivery and save several grand -- it is no hassle, BMW takes care of everything.

335xi is coming soon.

At least in CA there is always something on a dealers lot that closely matches the car you want. We have 4 dealers in a 30 mile radius and Ive always had the color/options I wanted on a car, and Ive never oredered and had to wait it out. I typically get the car I want the day I want it

Why wait
