that is the price of admission, we are not a buying POS Nissan!

thedean786 · 08-25-2006, 04:46 PM

I'll have you know my car has been quite the trooper over the last 4 years. But in regards to your comment, sure if you can buy it then why not?

Martial14 · 08-25-2006, 04:52 PM

for people like me who want it but can't afford it, yes its too much. otherwise, its fine.

GregL · 08-25-2006, 05:07 PM

Hey, nothing wrong with Nissans. My QX4 was almost 5 1/2 years old with 73,000km and didn't have a single squeak of creak right through to the day I traded it in. Only ever needed 1 warranty repair for a pair of oxygen sensors too.

To the OP, that price seems perfectly reasonable. My 330xi with everything was almost $66,000 Canadian before taxes/delivery/fees which works out to about US$60,000.

NoMods · 08-25-2006, 05:11 PM

i was kidding about nissans, i had a pathfinder se in grad school, drove like a charm

GregL · 08-25-2006, 05:17 PM

Ah ok, you've redeemed yourself then

ward · 08-25-2006, 05:26 PM

it's not too high if people will pay it

I won't pay that much for a lowly 3 series, but that's just me

More than reasonably configured, mine just came out to less than $45k.

Configured properly, it comes out to less than $42k.

I think that's a fair amount for a rather large, well-equipped BMW coupe with 300+ horsepower.

Seems right on! There are people who paid that much for a 330i loaded of course. There is always the 328 or delete an option or 2.

SapphireBlackG01 · 08-25-2006, 05:36 PM

It's not that hard to find people driving around in $45k 325i SEDANS, and that's not even fully optioned-out.

Now that... that's outrageous.

Nikki · 08-25-2006, 05:45 PM

It's a lot cheaper without automatic. I priced mine out earlier to around $45,500.

CnoteMD · 08-25-2006, 06:08 PM

Actually, the price is actually pretty good. I read somewhere that the 335i is close in performance to the E46 M3 at the top end, and actually surpasses the M3's performance in the low to mid range.

When I was pricing E46 M3's, they were running around $55k moderately optioned. Also consider that a well optioned 330i usually runs low to mid $40k's.

CALIF65GM · 08-25-2006, 09:37 PM

I priced my 335 specs and it was about $47,500 MSRP.

My 330xi $44,000 OTD.

krazykanuck · 08-25-2006, 10:02 PM

I don't think it is a bad price (base). Options get pricey but thats normal on any German car.

: just decide what you need and what you don't. I'd be crossing that $1200 automatic tranny off your list.

That and the PP.

KevinC · 08-25-2006, 11:29 PM

Lose the Sliptronic, that'll both save $$ and make it a better car.

Wile waiting my 330i I driving 00' Maxima that has 0 problem and 0 squeak and last week turn 100,000ml

BMW F22 · 08-26-2006, 12:27 AM

imagine in a decade or so the cheapest 3 series would start at like $55k. OH MY GGGGGOOOODDDD!!

hosagod · 08-26-2006, 12:53 AM

Since I won't be getting CWP or Comfort Access, my total is $46,500.

That is pretty freaking GOOD if you ask me...the E46 coupe cost me $44,000 back in 2003 and the 335i is a way better car in general! A 335i for $2,500 more? Heck yea!

parachute · 08-26-2006, 01:09 AM
