Looking for a New Coupe

shipill · 07-14-2012, 09:49 PM

I'm thinking of selling my 07 335 coupe and get a brand new MB E350 4Matic coupe ? what do you guys think ? any other suggestions ?

I need a AWD coupe with atleast 300hp around 60-70K

please help, me so confuse

Das335 · 07-14-2012, 10:13 PM

The E350 is about as boring as a 50K+ coupe can get. In all honesty, I'd rather just go for a 335xi for a whole ton less than that.

The obvious choice in this segment is the S5 though, especially now that it has the 3.0T in it.

NewYearsBoy · 07-14-2012, 10:59 PM

GTR...??? or S5...

Really the only 2 I can think of.. Funny cus I thought there would be more.

X54SiQI · 07-14-2012, 11:09 PM

S5 will be my choice or GTR if you can find one with low miles for around $60-70k.

Test drive a GTR

Then go from there

C63 Coupe Black series.

michaelthepsycho · 07-15-2012, 03:03 AM

STi / Evo X

cloakster · 07-15-2012, 06:12 AM

2013 S5 or the 335xi coupe.

Please re-read OP where it states "COUPE"

shipill · 07-16-2012, 03:44 PM

how about E350 4M coupe ?

SaMaster14 · 07-16-2012, 03:55 PM

C63 coupe (although a new one will be closer to 80k), or the new S5 coupe! I would say M3 coupe... But the new one will be out soon.

I wouldnt buy a used gt-r... You never know how the previous owner drove a car like that.

I wouldn't get the MB e350. My mom has the E550 and although it is a great car and extremely powerful... It's just not fun to drive. Quite boring even with 402hp and 443lb/ft of torque... I can image the E350 being even more boring due to the lack of power

Audi S5 Coupé or wait for BMW 4 Series Coupé 435i xDrive.

Das335 · 07-17-2012, 12:16 AM

There's a bit of a struggle with reading comprehension here.

Let me reiterate, the OP said he wanted an AWD COUPE.

C63 Black Series... not AWD
STi... not a coupe
Evo X... not a coupe
C63... not AWD
M3... not AWD

To throw one more into the ring for ya' OP, the TT-RS (if you can find one) would fit your bill pretty perfectly. Cargo is a bit limited and if you're looking at an E-Class you probably don't care much for a manual transmission, but holy lord is that thing ever an immaculate machine, about as much fun as you can have in a car in this class. Might be worth a look for you.

michaelthepsycho · 07-17-2012, 08:57 AM

Woops. Guess there's only Audi or a used GT-R.

kyleb350 · 07-17-2012, 09:41 AM

Don't forget used 911 as well.

shipill · 07-17-2012, 05:58 PM

+1 on the 1 series

Ah yes, the ol' 1-series x-drive...

OP, I'd say if you can, spring for the new S5 rather than a slightly used one. That fantastically capable supercharged 6 was only implemented in MY13, the old 4.2 V8 just doesn't quite live up to it IMHO.

Don't get me wrong, the old S5 was still a great car, just not quite so enthusiast oriented. New or old, they are both still gorgeous cars.

Hula-Hula · 07-18-2012, 12:57 PM

What about the RS5?
