If you're going by that standard; then I'll buy a Civic for 10K, drop 15K into it and blow your doors off...

u missed my point, it will against a stock gtr/zo6 which is the equivalent to the amount spent on th 335 after mods. might not even spend that much on it...

Yes, I could have bought a M3 for $48k, but that would be a stock M3. I would have ended up spending even more to upgrade the M3.

I love my 335xi, it is a rocket in it's own right, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds on the vbox at just 380whp, but I'm well aware it's a ticking time bomb as I add more power. My 600whp build-out is looking like it will be over $12k and the cost is giving me pause to consider other platforms before I dive in. |
please put a link of either of those cars at that price... and then when u can't add the extra 5 grand to the cheapest one you find and see how it is one and a half the price of a 335

true but your car does not have an hpf kit on it 1 and the gtr is not stock.....
Bottom line is yes they are fast cars but they are also dam near super cars while the 335 is an entry level luxury sedan.... do the math stock 335 $30 grand with all the nessacary upgrades maybe $50 grand and your at 550-650whp (SPECULATION as it hasn't been dynode yet) c6 and gtr for supposedly $60 grand used is no comparison... GTR heavy yes awd but heavy and interior not as luxurious and c6 fast and light but cheap looking interior....
