Andrew, I know buying a car is a big deal, and esp. with a BMW a lot of $$$.. I also know i'm only 19 and my advice may not be the best.. but.....

If you have to post on the forum asking us about our opinions, well, then I don't believe that's the right car for you. I know that you love us all :-D but.. you should be "I have to have that car, it's for me" not.. "it's a car I kinda like.. I can live with it" attitude. If you're doubting yourself over a few things, chances are, they'll bother you for the life of the car.

I don't like the looks of the silver one either.
I love the current one, very nice interior

Andrew, looks like you are dealing with MAG, if it is the same place I am thinking of, it is in Dublin, Oh??

If so, I had the pleasure of going with a friend to pick up his new lotus there, and taking it from here (Indy) over to the dealer there several times for regular service when he was too busy LOL

Great dealership.

andrew - I think you have gone through cars more than I have gone through pairs of pants the last few years. J/K
IMO - the 3-series sedan looks better than the coupe. As others have stated, the 135 is very nice.


Personally, if I was in the market for a nice sized RWD coupe, I would be hard pressed not to go with a new Camaro SS.
I would say to try out a lot of different things, something you were not considering may surprise you. Good luck.

ok i can fix this problem..ok so my friend just bought a 328i and he loves it compaired to his jetta of course..i had 3 hours to drive it on a road trip cuz he sucks a driving...
here is what i thought of it
-ok shape, looks kinda like the rest
-no one looks at it cuz i saw 23 bmw from High Point Nc, to Willmington NC (3 hour drive)
-i hate that color red stereo, it seems outdated,and with the sitting position at a comfortable position, there is hardly no room in back
-it does sit low which looks nice on the road
-comes with run flat tires which is nice too


Basically the only thing i like is the seatbelt is given to you when you get in the car and what i really dont like is that is sucks and i mean really sucks on power and seems to burn the same amount of fuel like my srt6

this is what i think looks good and is good for you buck BANG

the new AUDI TT
great price, great power, sick looks,,the lights with the leds is awesome, the interior is great,and always gets looks. i think and know it out classes the BELLY BUTTON CAR (BMW)

your choice..
mine has been made for me, SRT6 all the way

SRT6 outclasses them all, for the price.

The Audi TT is a great looking car (inside and out), but it's so totally outclassed by the Porsche Cayman, which is a MUCH MUCH better car to drive, and well worth the slight bump in price.

Andrew,

I have a white 2008 BMW 328i sedan as my daily driver and really enjoy it. I only drive my Crossfire when I want to have more fun by treating myself to a road trip with my friends of the Central Texas Crossfires.

well any hoo - if i go with the silver coupe - i would lightly tint the glass, remove the badges and add the M3 spoiler for a subtle change... it gives some elevation to rear end.
