Simple Question

Down to two choices now.. which would you choose, and why:

F20 M135i

Or F30 328i MSport

Clink · 07-16-2012, 04:34 AM

Id take rhe f30 No comment about a 1er

woosh · 07-16-2012, 04:38 AM

Do you care about future resale value?

Spikey · 07-16-2012, 05:40 AM

Now, F30 328 M-Sport... for the size & comfort. Obviously not as fast as the 135M but still no slug.

If I was young and single i'd go the 135M........

Yes, but given that the current 1 & 3 have similar 36 month ratings, why do you ask?

My observations have shown that a 3er depreciates a fair bit quicker than a 1er (in proportion to rrp). But yeah... that's besides the point... it's a new car = who cares huh lol

I say 328i. a) looks a lot better than the f20, b) current r&d for aftermarket mods are already showing strong signs of decent daily driving power (200-220rwkw last time i checked), c) did i mention it looks a lot better than the f20?

I couldn't believe that they could make the original 1 series look any worse...

I would go the 328 as it will perform OK and look so much nicer, and even more expensive.

NBTBRV8 · 07-16-2012, 03:10 PM

328 for me, the 135 looks terrible.

pavo335 · 07-16-2012, 03:50 PM

Neither, there both shit imo

Max555 · 07-16-2012, 04:35 PM

328, 135 looks like a girls car.

MLOREY · 07-16-2012, 09:32 PM

Agree with pav, both cars neither here nor there

Marcs335 · 07-16-2012, 09:56 PM

F30 328 if the choice was JUST out of those two.
Why? No interest in the 1 series (hatch)

sbce90 · 07-16-2012, 10:00 PM

F30 328i Msport for sure.

Rivenscyr · 07-16-2012, 10:05 PM

Id go f30 238i
there isnt a need for neck breaking power on a daily. i'd take comfort over power now that im older and wiser.

suff · 07-16-2012, 10:10 PM

OK..I'll open it up.. Budget is $95k OTR.. must haves are:

- Reasonable performance (after all, the 335i is my daily at the moment!)
- Proper Nav
- Not FWD

I've got a 2yr old, but a coupé doesn't worry me as she is rarely in my car..

Ideas? There are lots of cars I love, but they are all $120k+

suff · 07-16-2012, 10:12 PM

oh, and should add to that list.. something with a good exhaust note would be a major plus (anyone selling an '07 M5 with under 40k and a BMW warranty, let me know!)

suff · 07-16-2012, 10:15 PM

took one of these out for a drive on Friday:

BBK · 07-16-2012, 11:12 PM

Does it have to be $95k brand new? Why not consider something second had with low kms?
