09 370z (current car) or 07-08 335i

Clemsonlsu5 · 10-31-2011, 10:30 PM

hey guys, i sold my 2007 bmw 328i e90 back in May and got a 09 370z. I love my z, but i miss the space. Is it worth looking into a used 335? Just thought I would post this and see if someone would give me some feedback. The 370z has 13, 100 miles on it and is in awesome condition, so i think i could get what i owe on it easy. If I did get a 335 i wanna make some money off z to get wheels/tires etc to make it look good or purchase one with aftermarket wheels already on it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but just looking for some feedback from 335 owners.

i went from 350z vert to my 335i vert - i would seriously consider the 335i simply for the fact you can mod the turbo's and have a really fast ride (if ur into that), plus most any issue like hpfp has been addressed by now...

JPK89 · 11-01-2011, 01:34 AM

i have owned two 350z ...and i loved that car...but i would take my 335 any day over a 350 or 370...i liked the 350 more than the 370...the 370 felt so soft as the 350 was a FUN car to drive..

Is an 09' 335i out of the question?

Clemsonlsu5 · 11-01-2011, 09:15 AM

hey guys thanks for the comments. Depending on price a 09 335 could be in the question...

What's your price range?

Clemsonlsu5 · 11-01-2011, 09:33 AM

was looking to stick somewhere around 26-28k thats why i put 07-08 because a 09 is doubtful in that range.

hipnotic · 11-01-2011, 01:58 PM

for sure get the 3er

Clemsonlsu5 · 11-01-2011, 02:02 PM

I really love my z, but I really miss the bmw. If I could find the right one for the right price I will more than likely try and make a move.

shaun671 · 11-01-2011, 05:40 PM

I say go for the 335i. I had a 350z, and I got rid of it due to space issues. Ive driven a 370z, and honestly I feel like the 335i is faster...plus it's more mod friendly

Main thing you have to think about is that your probably never going to find an e92 with as low miles as your Z, unless you buy new or get an 2010 and up

Eric335 · 11-01-2011, 05:55 PM

I considered both b4 i purchased as well. Now im on a BMW forum

edirtaynine · 11-01-2011, 06:38 PM

new car > older car (other than collectible/rare cars obviously)

plus the 370 is the newest current generation z. the 08 3er is already on its way of being the "older body" real soon when the f30 hits the dealers. just my opinion when it comes to switching cars.

Think how frequently they face lift the z though.. just a thought. It is really a personal choice but for someone like me, the process of even selling and buying a car can be more hassle than its worth. Both great cars. If its worth it to you, do it. Not many people here are going to tell you to stick with the z though just saying we might be a little biased haha

1000klr · 11-01-2011, 08:54 PM

trade you my e92 335

Clemsonlsu5 · 11-01-2011, 09:09 PM

guys thanks for all the input, im thinking real har on this because i loved my 328i i could only imagine the 335i. the z is very nice and unique but u cant beat a solid bmw!

xCHICOx · 11-01-2011, 10:30 PM

Like others here, I've also had a 350 and now have a 335. I think the e92 is the best bang for the buck but since your looking into it, I'm sure you know the associated issues with this generation. All that said, my e92 is a blast to drive, but first chance I get I will get rid of it.

hey did you hear about the fire at clemson? it was limited to the library and got both books

One of the books had words and everything

Clemsonlsu5 · 11-02-2011, 09:57 PM

hey guys, I emailed the dealer that my parents got their X5 from and that I got my 328i from. I just wanted to see if they had anything on the lot. They have a silver 2008 335i Coupe with Sports/Premium Packages (really slick car). He said it had 44k miles on it and they wanted $27,900. Good deal?
