Would you rather have?
a 335I Non Sport in Barbera Red with Grey interior and Light polar wood, no Sunroof and a wheel swap to the 323I Wheels?
Or a 325I Sport, with all standard options as 335I and 18" wheels with a sunroof in the colour of your choice? |

The 325 I am a sucker for a hot colour combo, and I am no track star

The 325 is perfect and the sunroof is a must!
I was debating about both, tested both on the track and whilst I felt like I was in a rocket in the 335. For everyday driving the 325 has enough power. |

When you're spending this kind of money you wan't to get exactly what your after!
I never test drove a 335 but the spec's speak for themselves. Do you want a cruiser with a bit of zip or a performance car. For me it was about usable power, so I totally agree with the last comment. The only situation I find myself in occasionally where the 335 would be handy is on country roads where your actually overtaking. The 325 you have to pick your gaps, but I imagine the 335 would be like my old Monaro where you'd just blast past.

The 325 for sure. The sport pack is more than just a set of springs and shocks. If you drive a lot like I do, you appreciate the seats ever so much. Sunroof is also a must for resale. And while on that subject, I think the sports pack also is a big plus for beter resale. Just my opinion

335.
After all - its about the drivability - and the more ponies up front the better the driving experience. I took a 325 for a spin after the 335, and I was bitterly disappointed. I wouldn't have even bothered with the sunroof but for it came like that. Std. the 335 is very nice - mines not optioned at all - stock 18s, stock runflats etc. The only thing it has is the step peddles and a sunroof (waste of time IMO). GT |

Although, I would imagine the e9x 325 has more power then mine, but I really never had any problem overtaking on the freeway

You are having a lend
Brad!! You of all people cannot be serious. If you are not going for the 335i. There is some good deals on the Toyota Camry's at the moment or maybe the Nissan Mica.

I saw a b.red 335 at BMW Sydney's Chatswood dealership and it looked pretty sweet. I would definitely choose it over a 325 any day mainly for the performance factor. To me it is a clear decision I’m quite stunned at why you are still thinking about it, i understand it’s a personal preference thing but DAMN!!!

Sure but consider the original question, it has to be grey interior with light wood. In other words would you sacrifice the nicest colour combination, wheels and a sunroof for a lesser model with everything you desired! Recruiter: This must be Bruce? Did you know the 335 you bought off me was the first Montego Blue coupe delivered @ BMW Sydney, have you fallen more for the colour yet? |

About the choice, I am somewhat biased but ARE YOU MAD! I am not a speed freak either but THAT engine is worth most of the buy price. It is just that good for outright drivability.

When I was looking for my car, I was initially going to go for the 987 Boxster, but the BMW was going ot be much quicker to get hold of. I thought the Boxster drove incredibly well and I felt like I was "envolved", but with the e9x I just felt more like I was cruising along. I figured I was young, so why not go for the convertible lol.

So true ASTRA. Opinions can be very subjective, situational and conditional and that why manufactures like BMW offer so many choices. Let's face it, every BMW is a great package as a whole regardless of engine size. I personaly think the 325 is a great engine choice when balancing cost to performance. No question the 335 is quicker but with speed limits and traffic the way it is, you hardly get the oportunity to really use it (leagaly or otherwise). |

I often take mine to 7000 in 1st or 2nd in 100km/h roads because it loves it. If going fast is the only thing that matters - get a race car and go offroad. Try doing the Brooklyn run from Berowra in a 325 then do it in a 335 and tell me what you prefer? |
