It's not just performance BMW models crashing in value. Check out Porsche, Aston Martin, Audi, Alfa and Jaguar. Infact BMW are holding up a lot better than many. I guess as times get harder, it will be the privileged few who will be able to run big fast petrol engined cars.

For me my next car will probably be a new 335i, I cant see my self trading down to a 2.0 or similar. Petrol would have to be £2.00 per litre to consider down grading, but I would still run a superbike to get the speed thrill

All this my 335i is better, quicker etc than a 911, got me thinking.....so I went and looked on my drive, and have decided to keep the pork. I know how fast a modded 335i can be, but one thing it can never be is a 911. You all know that every car I've owned has been modded, even my wife's school run GT Sport Golf has been mapped, but not my 911, it is about as good as it gets for me, all I've done is add a sports exhaust, and thats for more aural pleasure. Yes it quick, but as well as that is the excellent road holding, and the sense of occasion every time I drive it.
And back on topic that's unbelievable value for a 335i, but I'd want a decent warranty to back it up.

Love my 335i, but come on guys you cannot compare it to a 911. Its like saying a tuned Astra VXR is as good as a 335i because they both put out 300bhp....still at £10K you can spend £3K on mods and really push the BHP up, than keep £2K aside in case the turbos blow, and have your self a very rapid piece of kit for <£15K

Im struggling with this thread. The 335i is a great car, by any yardstick, but cannot be compared to a thoroughbred like a 911. Way I see it, the 335i is top of the 1st division, whereas a 911 is premier league.

List prices tell the story As many have done on here, enjoy a 335i as a daily drive then go onto a 911 as a bit of an upgrade. It just is more special. My plan is to hold out until 997's fall in value when new shape is on sale and pick up a nice c2s or gts (financial situation allowing) to use everyday. The beat thing about both of these cars are the good economy fuel etc in terms of their performance. Also on a street in central London both are largely ignored, not targeted by scum bags. |

Erm,,,I guess that settled then
335i at £10-11k is a performance bargain. Its not a sports car, its not as pure as a 911, its almost as quick as an M3, better than a VXR, can do 30 mpg and beat a gallardo when tuned to 480 bhp. (nice vid that!). Will they keep dropping in price, do bears shit in the woods. Phew |

Gah... a 335i is a 335i. If I wanted a Porsche, I'd buy one. Some Porsches are faster than some BMWs, some BMWs are faster than some Porsches. It's not a competition, and neither is 'better' than the other - they're just different. Yay for free will and plenty of choices

Haha and I am just a little green with envy.
350-400 na hp is the holy grail as far as im concerned with a daily driver Strikes a cracking balance between actually being able to hit the limiter in a few gears before you loose your licence. track enthusiast obv have a different pov. As much as I would love to own and respect the 500plus crowd I would rather a smaller lighter lower powered porker that you can make sing on regular basis. In central London you see r8's fezzes lambos etc open up for 2 seconds and then slam on the anchors. As grateful as I am to hear these lovely sounds it all seems like overkill to a degree. As ever my humble opinion only. |
