Do I get good deals or I got robbed?

Arrowhead · 02-13-2008, 03:56 PM

I am going to lease either 328i coupe or 335i coupe and I have 2 deals, but I dont know which one is the better deal to get?

This is what I got from dealer 328i E92 MSRP $41545 2.5yr/10,000 miles $650 included tax + $0 dn. 335i E92 MSRP $47375 2.5yr/10,000 miles $750 included tax + $0 dn. I dont know if these numbers will help u guys to help me.

I can afford either one, even buy one, but I just feel I want to lease a car this time. If the lease for 328 is a good deal, then I will lease 328! If both deals are sucks, then what is the reasonable $$ I can ask the dealer to give me! I will only take the good deal one, so it doesn't matter its a 328 or 335. Thank you guys.

is it a an xi?

Get the 328 if you want practicality.

Get the 335 if you want sheer power.

Tommy420 · 02-13-2008, 03:59 PM

335....and you are going to get bashed for starting this thread

Doc E · 02-13-2008, 03:59 PM

depends on your $ situation, because with a 335 you might have a bigger tendency to mod it.
but then again, if i had a 328 i would do the same mods as my 335.

Arrowhead · 02-13-2008, 03:59 PM

both are i..

-=Hot|Ice=- · 02-13-2008, 04:01 PM

ok, then your answer is:

Get the 328 if you want practicality. But if you want power and want to go fast...the 335 is for you. Keep in mind the 335 has a harsher ride. But it goes faster.

is that pretty much at MSRP? Also, be sure to put down SD to lower your MF (you'll get it back at the end of the lease - $350 for disposition fee).

canucklion · 02-13-2008, 04:03 PM

how did you come to that conclusion?

I am more 335 guy, but just want to see which one is the better deal..If i lease 335, $750 is good deal?

bavarian19 · 02-13-2008, 04:05 PM

I never understood leasing... Its like renting an expensive car, but you have nothing to show for it when the lease is up...

I test drove one.

rocco · 02-13-2008, 04:08 PM

For comparison sake...i would be paying for a 335i AT with everything except active steering and cruise, 740/mo (after 10% f'ing Philly lease tax). .00201 MF after .00005 dealer markup and 7 MSD's down.

Also, with Progressive, insurance for me would be an extra 200/yr versus the 328i...

Hope that helps.

canucklion · 02-13-2008, 04:08 PM

then the difference is in your head. both cars possess the same suspension. Granted 335i's got bigger wheels (17 vs 18), but that's not going to contribute significantly to a 'harsher' ride. If you were comparing a non-zsp to a zsp car, then yeah, I'd say the zsp's ride is harsher. But not in this case.

Some people like to change cars every two to three years, in which case *buying* is the foolish choice.

roadkillrob · 02-13-2008, 04:10 PM

drive a 335 and you won't have a question anymore!

TTG · 02-13-2008, 04:10 PM

I do like the 328's a lot but for only $100 a more per month... I would get the 335.....

Also get a insurance quote and see what the difference is in between the two....

From a pure financial standpoint, it doesn't make sense. I am too much of a logical person to lease.

To each their own...

If you know what you are doing buying can be cheaper..... But that is a different argument for a different thread.... BTW, i average 1.5 to 2 years per car....

Makes sense if you change cars like underwear, but if you actually like the car enough to keep it a few years buying is better financially 95% of the time.

I know your point. I've been thinking about that too. But I can keep change cars when the lease end. Oh and I wont feel so pissed if anything crap happened to the car.
