Im torn between the 335 and 528

jonni44 · 02-07-2010, 02:02 AM

So I've wanted a 335i for a really long time now and I think I've mustered up enough courage to finally go and purchase it except for the fact that this morning my car salesman proposed a deal that Im really thinking I can't pass. Its for a Demo 2008 528i PP in monaco blue with 8000miles on it. Just wondering what you guys thoughts were on the matter? Should I stick with my plan and buy the 335i which I know is way more powerful or should I save 14k and buy the 528i?

How much for the 528? I have one. I would get a 335.

Im sorry I don't think I should disclose the price, Im buying from a dealership and the salesman is a friend. But its significantly less to buy the newer 528i.

if you're into comfort, space, smooth ride, get the 528i. The 528i is pretty balanced. If you're into speed, agility, get the 335i.

I was only asking for a comparo between the two models. Is the 335 a sedan or coupe? I have a buddy with a 335. Its fun and all but if youre looking for outright comfort and ride quality, not to mention space, you cant beat the 5. GL.

528 likely will be a boring ride. I have a 550i sport package and had the drive the salesmans 528i home one day and HATED it. Not just the complete lack of power but the whole feel of the car driving it and the seats were horrible compared to the sport seats. If car seats for infants are not an issue, I'd go 335 over the 528 any day of the week.
