2007 328xi vs 335i

kevinz · 04-27-2007, 05:53 PM

Is there a difference between the 2007 328xi coupe and the 335i coupe in terms of the exterior DESIGN?
I notice that the exhaust pipes are separated, but that's about it.
Anyone notice other differences in the EXTERIOR DESIGN?
Also, which one looks better; Jet Black or Black Sapphire(Metallic)?

The Front Grills on a 328i I believe are black, while as On the 335i they're Grey. Correct me if I'm wrong? Other than that, exhaust openings and wheels pretty much.

Correct....except when you have the optional active cruise control on the 335i...then the front mesh is black as well. Other than that....no difference...excpet the get up and go!

Ride height will be higher on the XI. Changes the look of the car.

the chrome grill has more chrome in the 335, while the 328 has black slats

As for your other question, JB and SB is a matter of preference. To me, JB is infinitely better but there are plenty of people on here who will argue the other way. I will tell you that some of the professional detailers on here are knowing that the JB paint on the coupe only is unusually soft, making it super easy to create scratches/swirls, more than regular JB paint, like on the sedan. I would go with Sapphire just for this reason.
