Xi or 335i, that is the question ...

pronzie · 05-25-2006, 09:21 PM

Just put my deposit down for the new 3 series coupe, but am going crazy deciding whether I should get the 335i, or wait a month for the 328xi.

I've recently moved from the UK and am unaccustomed to the winter driving conditions in New Jersey. Is it bad enough to warrant an xi over the 335i?

I know there's a 335xi in the works, but who can wait another year for that puppy?

Cheers me dears

hmm that's a tough one. If you like the power plus Xi, I would wait for the 335xi. If you're okay with 328 then I would just get it now. Then again you could always just get winter tires for the 335. The main point is: dont settle for anything less than what you want. If you have even the slighest doubt, dont buy it.

the non-xi models do fine with winter tires in the snow, granted, the xi's would be plowing through snow like santa's sleigh, but winter in Jersey shouldn't be that bad.
