335i: Coupe or Sedan, which and why?

JayL-F1 · 02-06-2007, 06:08 PM

Read some things about coupe being stiffer, any truth to this?

also what are the reasons to buy one or the other?

Thanks

More doors, less money. Doesn't everyone want more for less?

Ryan 330i · 02-06-2007, 06:18 PM

coupe.

-better fit and finish
-nicer details
-wow factor
-more interior choices (leathers and woods)
-more std. options
-newer/more saut after

of course i may be bais since i just came out of an E90 to a E92...

C///M · 02-06-2007, 06:21 PM

always c'pe is better than a sedan for me coz if i'm driving a sedan my friends says that-you are getting older faster and make some child.

But in a c'pe you always feel younger

bzabodyn · 02-06-2007, 06:22 PM

No choice needed - - - E90 all the way!

After coming from an M5, my first 4-door car, there was no turning back... if you ever have more than one person ride with you, there is no substitute for 4-doors...

oh, and let's not forget the "sleeper" factor... nice to have a sedan that can wax a Mustang GT...

Coupe. Looks way better and is newer. Also much easier to do some popular mods. (Angel eyes, doesn't need blacklines) I don't understand the sleeper thing about the sedan. e91, sure that's a sleeper, but e90 versus e92 neither is more sleeper than the other imo.

shipill · 02-06-2007, 07:12 PM

I Drove both , but Coupeee is awsome !!!

IndianPoweredE90 · 02-06-2007, 07:21 PM

i havent driven the coupe but i needed the sedan so i bought the sedan. i can already tell the sedan isnt the stiffest of 4 doors. but i need to test it out further since i havent pushed it yet.

EHDEN · 02-06-2007, 07:25 PM

the e92 will be my first coupe since 8 years ago when i had a mx-6 haha... i'm sure it will have a very slight difference.

sedans are more practical, but 2 of my best friends have the e90 and i just wanted something different! plus!, the e90 didnt come with coral red interior!

6SpeedMan · 02-06-2007, 07:29 PM

Coupe all the way, looks way better. I had an e90 and the styling is just..ehh. The the coupe is so gorgeous though.

MiAmiBoosT305 · 02-06-2007, 07:34 PM

sedan=ordinary car
coupe=

Dollar Bill · 02-06-2007, 07:34 PM

If you don’t need 4 doors it’s the Coupe.
The kids are now getting older and I rarely travel with more than 1 passenger in the car. So the coupe was my choice. I drove them both and the coupe is stiffer but seemed much lower and sticks to the ground. But like other have mentioned the sedan is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. IMO you can’t go wrong with either!

6SpeedMan · 02-06-2007, 08:19 PM

I disaggree, you can go wrong. Have you seen all the switchers around here. The e92 is god man.

CrazyHohol · 02-06-2007, 08:26 PM

The only reason i went with the sedan was beacuse it was a 100 dollars cheaper in monthly payments if this doesnt matter to you then i would go for the coupe esp if you dont usually have back seat passengers.

SQUeeKY CLeeN · 02-06-2007, 08:52 PM

I like the coupe. The front has a great agressive look, but from behind it screams honda accord. It's like buying 2 cars for the price of one :-).

Not flaming anyone, just throwing a good natured elbow to your ribs....chortle chortle.

bavarian19 · 02-06-2007, 08:55 PM

I have had the sedan, and I will be driving the coupe as of tomorrow.

I say its personal preference.

Yes, there are more sedans on the road. But the E90 sedan looks great, and drives great too. The 335 sedan gives you practicality as well as a fun driving machine.

The coupe comes with a few more goodies and options. It looks more sleek (IMO), but you lose some of the practicality.

At the end of the day, I say coupe. But what works for me might not for someone else. To each their own!!!

rexrider · 02-06-2007, 09:07 PM

I like the coupe on the outside -- and I like the Sedan on the inside. I do not like the split in the backseat and I do not like the seatbelt gadgit in the coupe. Since I spend most of my time on the inside I am going with the sedan. ...and I can not get the X-Drive in the coupe 335 in the near future. So if I was a 2 seater I would go with the Coupe.

lyndon_h · 02-06-2007, 09:55 PM

i think the sedan looks better. The coupe doesnt look very aggressive IMO.

Those are two of my favorite features, just shows people have different tastes. Makes me feel like I'm rocking a Bentley.

You must be joking... The coupe looks far more aggressive than the sedan, though still not that aggressive compared to some other cars.

audiphile · 02-06-2007, 10:56 PM

I prefer the look of the sedan - shorter, narrower looking, less flashy (although still too flashy in Montego

)

CHEAPER of course, and the performance is the same.

Win win win for me

Nikki · 02-06-2007, 10:58 PM

If you don't need the practicality of 4 doors, and assuming you prefer the styling of the E92, why not get the coupe?

texasturner · 02-06-2007, 11:04 PM

The coupe is just a real head turner right now....
