The Mustang must GO!

1st335i · 09-05-2007, 06:51 PM

Hey everyone! Here's my story. I have an '05 Mustang gt and an '06 Fusion as my beater car. I have owned Acuras, Hondas and even a couple of V dubs but never a BMW. My buddy just purchased a low mileage 2002 M3 and I friggin' fell in love at first DRIVE! Well, I ordered a 335i coupe on August 1st and am waiting everyday with crazy anticipation. I know they are very different cars, but I will really miss my Stang as I will use it and the Fusion as trade-ins. I guess what I am trying to say is, I just want anyone on here to keep encouraging me that I am going to really love this car. Thanks for the great forum!

glad we could help and nice upgrade!

you won't be disappointed

cn555ic · 09-05-2007, 07:26 PM

if you loved your friend's 2002 M3, once you get your 335 and Procede the bitch, you will have your friend bugging..If his M3 is stock your gonna kick his rear end!!!

halB · 09-05-2007, 07:44 PM

Just do it!

Bimmer335i07 · 09-05-2007, 07:56 PM

Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed.

Good call, going with the 335i. It's night and day between the 2 cars.

SoCalM311 · 09-05-2007, 07:56 PM

looking to do a Mustang to 335i swap too. Just need to get enough nerve to crunch some numbers at the dealership.

dood, don't even worry about it. This car is leagues above those others that you've owned...I loved my MkIV VW GTI that I modded, but once I took delivery of my E92 335i, did not even think about the GTI. 335i is where it's at.

uberschnell · 09-05-2007, 08:04 PM

For a stunner of a car invest in the following:
1, aerolip
2, high performance tires
3, coilovers or at least the eibach / Koni setup
4, Procede V2

It will cost a little (at least 3K) but you will have one of the finest all round cars on the road.

Kiss335i · 09-05-2007, 08:06 PM

A co-worker ask me why I didn't puchase a Mustang better than the 335i Coupe..he said "You have the same horse power, it's cheaper and nicer..." Well I didn't to argue to much with him..so I juste said " Compaaring a BMW to a mustang it's like comparing Tofu to Beef...you may have the same number of protein..but it's not exactly the same taste..." End of conversation....I thing that explain all...there's nothing to add! :rocks:

drexplode · 09-05-2007, 08:22 PM

I just received my 335 this week, and i love it so darn much.

Like everyone else here, i am finding reasons to go out driving.

After my first 1/2 fill up, i averaged 26 MPG. The engine has less than 300 miles on it!!!

No worries, you will love it like your own child.

Dude, congrats on the new car order... you won't miss the Mustang. Just wait till you hit a stretch of twisties, you'll see how a car is supposed to turn.

The problem is that living in CA, you don't get a tax break on a trade-in. You are taxed on the full purchase price.

1st335i · 09-06-2007, 08:22 AM

Thanks for the words of encouragement!:rocks:
This seems to be a great community and I trust that owning a BMW will feel much the same.

Funny I am looking to trade in my 2004 A4. The short list of choices is:

1. 335 coupe -love the car hate the price
2. G37- love the price, but seems a little lacking in power...
3. 2003-2004 Cobra- love the raw power its only a chip pulley and exhaust away from 470 rwhp! I've owned a 1990 GT and a highly modified 1997 Cobra. However I am thinking I need more refinement in my liffe.....

NYBMW335 · 09-06-2007, 11:24 AM

Well the Mustang is definatly a nice car, its alot of fun to drive, and only those who owned it know what its like driving one. I had a 1995 cobra 351w twin turbo close to 700rwhp. It was my full out race car for a couple of years and i had numerous of BMW's, and I never got the same satisfaction as i did with my mustang.

Now on the other end, as a daily driver and even a track car one in a while, the 335i will bring alot of smiles to your face, and its alot better then your 05 mustang.
