335i > is350 >328i imo
i perfer standard as well and the IS doesn't offer it unless its a 250

335i/M3 are the only bmw's that i'll get (every car company has tried outperform the M3, none succeeded)

don't talk to him about reliability. He's LEASING. As long as it's within 4 years/50,000 miles EVERYTHING is covered even windshield wipers and brake pads that are wear and tear items.
3 coupe is very nice and chicks don't care wear it says 328 or 335.
They are uncomfortable because they are designed to communicate road conditions to the driver and they perform.

exactly thank you. plus the price differnces are huge .



bmw i pay no maintence for 4 yrs not even oil change or brakes. that saves me so much.


bmw is a very safe car and thats what my dad wants me to have . he knows i like to go fast and he cant do much about it buthe wants me to be safe as possible.

another reason i cant get the 335.. i bought it allready so it doesnt matter 2 monhes i get it.


white with red interior and i bought an m package lip looks sick.

I personally would have gone with the Is350/250... bmw are for stuck up pretty boys. Besides the level of refinement is so much better with the is. Bmw tends to go for performance first, and how often do u take the car to a track? As for reliability... so what if its leased and they cover everything for free or whatever they do... having to take a Bmw for rrepairs shouldn't be happening. I would expect that from a kia. I mean the 3 series is a great car and all but I just think its totally overrated. The M3 is a different story. I can't wait till that comes out and the isf. What ever as long as u are happy that's all that matters.

thanks for the stuck up part.. since i allready bought it. :p guess im a pretty boy then.

for 150 a month the (IS ) is not worth it. i went all out on my bmw and still nowhere near the is350 plus they didnt want to sell me a car at all. the two times i went they looked at me and dad like we were poor or some____ idn what there problem is but the i dont speak english very well salesman need to go.

both are hot rides...i personally looked at the 3 series and the is250 but both with AWD were out of my price range and I couldnt do RWD here in Long Island simeple due to the snow we get(isnt that much, but safety is most important) so I ended up with an Acura TSX. Just a word of advice, I wouldnt completely give up on lexus and would try to go to another dealership to get some numbers. Deposits are refundable so your not locked into the bimmer yet

my whole point was I couldnt afford the AWD versions of either the BMW, G35 or the IS250 so I had to go with the next best thing and that was the TSX cause it was the only FWD luxuary/sport vehicle I could afford. If I didnt have my R6 I woulda went with one of the above though

me personally, I would go for the BMW. having both of my parents have a BMW (mom currently) and dad used to (older GS300)... I prefer German engineering also... Harman Kardon is a sick, awesome sound system... Mark Levinson is good though, too. I would get the BM just because its manual alone, I wouldn't want an auto, just too boring. that's my opinion. other recommendation - save up a little and get a used e46 m3

im only 19 an m3 would be pushing it lol.. since i started trying to get the mazda 3 speed. im happy its going to be my 1st stick and i got the car with every option i wanted.


btw i drove the fully loaded g35 and the bmw back to back . bmw made me smile the whole time. g35 felt just like my fx35 , even with the back tires that can turn it felt like crap.

well high end cars are not suposed to be smooth. you want to feel the road more in exotics and such. but bmw are a perfect combo of comfort and feel.
