hv been thinking for a while, will u trade in 335i to a 2006 SL500 or Cayenne S?

[BayMoWe335]

The SL500 is basically all show, no go. Awful car to drive, IMO.

Cayenne S? Come on...the only Porsche is a 911.

[BTM]

Considering you already have the same body style in an M3, why not consider something more "luxurious" for an alternate car? I personally wouldn't buy both an E92 335 and E92 M3 in the first place...

[drummerlauw]

Cayenne S really sucks on gas...and it's not even that fast...I'm talking about 2007 Cayenne S. I say keep your 335i.

[TheStigsTwin]

Wow, 3 cars all going in totally different directions.

[username604]

i'd just keep it. if i had to tho, i'd go for the porsche

This is a ridiculous statement.


335: 4 seats luggage room (quick and practical)
SL: 2 seats, but a hard top vert, little luggage room (not practical)
Porsche: seats/luggage room (slow but practical if it's what you want)

I'd Keep the 335i, or get a SL55 :P

Just my taste. I'll admit the Cayman and Boxster are great cars, but they don't scream Porsche to me.

Will it scream "Porsche" to you when they finally realize the 911's chassis layout's incurred shortcomings and release a mid engined 911 model designation?

[chrisE92]

why SL500? why not the SL55? they're going for sub $40,000 now

[tony20009]

I would not trade in a 335i for either of the cars the OP suggested.

Truthfully, as I see a 3er as a daily-driver car, I don't know that I'd trade it in on anything but a similar sort of car...for me that'd perhaps be an A4 or VW GTI (if cargo room is a priority). But I don't frankly think those are better cars than the 3er, so that's why I have a 3er.

Each of us likely has our own definition of "daily-driver." For me, it means reasonably priced, reasonably fuel efficient (eg, about 20 mpg), not flashy, room for 4 on short hops, room for groceries, dry cleaning, and other stuff, a car I won't mind if other folks ding my doors or I get chipped paint in places, a car I don't care if it's not always spotlessly clean, comfortable, fun to drive and durable enough to last for at least 10 years if I decide to keep it that long.

I LOVE my 335i coupe. Not trading it for anything but another BMW. And hopefully, not for some time!

[coh4777]

Honestly, neither of those cars appeal to me, even tho I think they are a little flashier than the 335 coupe.

[mr_nelson]

can you get a Cayman?

[Brey335i]

You walk into the Porsche dealership and tell the salesman you'd like a Porsche...
He replies: "certainly, sir, what color would you like?"

[fdsasdasdf]

SL500 is 6hp faster than the 335i, and 2 cylinders more inefficient. 306HP from a V8 is terrible, and is also terrible on mileage. Nice little car, though.

[Jonny550]

sl500?
I put 5 cl's on my cousin's sl550 everytime i see him and with every ( fairly cheap) mod i do to it it grows even further.

the porshce is redonkulous why even think of that crap ass ride. Id go 997 or nothing now thats a real porshce


The sl is fat,slow,out dated and played out. You have so much more room to play with in your 3 and its much more practical.

[DARTH MAGNUS]

no And No.

[TheRox]

for sedan, try:

-porsche panamera, may be too pricey though
-bmw 5 series, good compromise
-S class <-- amazing car

those IMO are the best sedans. yes they are pricey. below that is the 3 series or S4 if you want audi.

[Potty_Pants]

HELL NO

sl500 warranty nightmare, and slow,
Cs... buddy has one. nothing special lateral move or lower though cornering and stuff its better.

be happy with what you have.

ppp

What about the new speedster?

[Pongdadong]

Why not just get the 1 series M Coupe?
