Dont, the 335is are so limited their wont as much mods as there are with the 335i.

Sounds like an utter waste of money. If you're going to waste money, at least get a real upgrade. You get my point? It's like upgrading from a droid to a droid 2, and paying a premium to make the change. With the latter, the marginal benefit is far less than the marginal cost.

please dont do it

I just bought one. Why all the hate for the "IS"? It is my first BMW but I have never driven anything finer or faster. Mine cost $52,495..not bad in my book but I guess you could consider that expensive when a CPO 2008 335i goes for 33K. You're entitled to your opinion...but maybe you should go drive one.

i paid 45k otd for my 2009 335i with all the options with 7000 miles on it, seems that i paid little bit more then the market value

i say instead of swapping to a 335is, you should just mod your 335i. Get LSD. That's like the biggest difference.

Only real reason to go for 335is is for DCT or if you just want a newer car. Other than that, 335i.

lol I get your analogy but bad example. I want a droid2 over my droid1. Well, doesn't need to be a droid, I just hate how slow my 600mhz is. I want 1ghz.

That's a pretty decent upgrade in speed IMO. I'm still miffed at how I bought a droid 1 like 2 months before the Incredible came out.

Kolyan2k · 10-22-2010, 06:16 PM

you have 2009 e92 335i, you sold e92 m3, and you wanna get 2011 335is ?

if you have ton of money, i dont see why not, but it is a waist of money for sure. ps. M3 beats the hell out of both 335i and 335is, why did you sell that ?

i would find that guy who bought your m3 and buy it back.....

< cant go wrong with this move.

comebackidlci · 10-22-2010, 06:20 PM

yup, already made 1 mistake, why make another lol

but of course if u got a lot of money then who cares

my 335i has more rwhp then my m3, also m3 mpg is too low in city for me.

but you realize that 335is has less hp then m3 and modded 335i, right ?

and if you are switching cars like that, who cares about MPG ? I mean i cant afford a new 335is and i dont care if my car is 30mpg or 20mpg

Im happy with a v8 if it gets 16 mpg but not on a 335i. i do pretty much driving around thew town so i care about the mpg

Taipei-TT · 10-22-2010, 08:09 PM

I'd just sit tight till the f32 comes out...but I can understand the new car itch!

But in that case...get a new car, not a better version of what you already have! M3 or something else....life is short, try something new!

Just what I was thinking.

I can't say I agree with OP's direction here. It probably cost him more in depreciation and cost to trade to the 335i than he would have spent extra to fuel the ///M3. In the beginning, it also wasn't listed as sold in his signature...

And an average of 1934586724 threads each day

Now he's gonna spend a ton on trading in his 09 to a 335is... which he's gonna have to start modding all over again to get the same power as his car.

I understand getting the 335is if you can swing it and you're looking at buying a 335i anyways, but if you own such a new 335i, isn't it just better to wait for the 335is to come on the market used?

You misunderstood. I said going from a 335i to a 335is is a waste, as a matter of fact, an utter waste of money. If you already have a 335i, it's a bad move to get a 335is.

Personally, if I had the job 4 years ago that I have today, I would buy a M3, or if the mpgs still bugged me, a 335is. But since I already have a 335i, it would be an utter waste of money to get a 335is. The marginal benefit is less than the marginal cost. That's not hate, that's econ 101.
