Get what stories?
A. I drive by the dealership numerous times a day, and see them sitting there. WTF do you want me to tell you. I can read...Its says 335
B. The C32 is my 36th car. I go through cars like you change your underwear. I have owned many cars with over 500rwhp and have driven into the 10s and 11s at the track with many of them. I bought the C32 as a family car lol. Just yesterday I checked my payoff to see about going with an E55 as the prices are looking good. So I have a bit different perspective on the 335 power output. Want to check out my last two cars, both 11 second runners, go here: http://www.cardomain.com/id/code3smith
Look, who cares. I already stated, if the guy likes it, then great. Its always nice to get a new car. I just dont think the 335 is anything special, at all...But thats just my opinion.

You're a chimp.
36 cars, wow, hold on while I go fetch your medal for "Most negative equity thrown into mustangs and 300Z's."
Don't come here with that attitude man, nobody wants to hear what a hero you think you are. Wow, you had cars in the 11's. I'm friggin shocked. Seriously.

On my part, I felt was just contradicting. People say the 335 is expensive, but it's cheaper than the C350/CLK350, therefore, I'm just curious what they're point is.

So what he has 36 cars... ?? But if you're questioning everything, so who cares what you think as well. The fact of the matter is we're just discussing this topic as we think.

45k is not expensive for a car that most experts are comparing to the outgoing M3. Sorry, but its not. 36 cars and he still doesn't know much about the way they're priced. Oh wait that's because they're all bought USED.

I haven't looked myself, but if what you say is true about the C350 being more than a 335, then that should be a no brainer. 335 all the way. But, maybe that's just me. Either way, so what.lol

I'll tell you what, $45 is not a lot of money for that car. It's priced accordingly, because when you take what it's capable of and you take the price of the competitors, which is more and equal to it, I don't understand what people are complaining about? Buy the 328 then if you can't afford it. But bang for buck, C-Class/CLK and 3-Series, the 3-Series blows them away! So sorry mate, I just don't get what this discussion on price is.
Otherwise wait 2 years and buy a used 335 for cheap.

That's probably the best "point" made yet. I think others were compairing the C32 to the new 335i.

Okay, I've said enough. End of conversation. I realized I didn't even give a good Congrats to the owner! You've got your 335 -- post pics dammit! Good ones, since I've been here arguing it like I'm trying to pass it to a board of directors. lol

if 45k is too much for a 335i. you can always get the base model + tax without discount for:
MSRP $38,900
Options and accessories $0
Destination charge $775
Total price as built* $39,675

If it makes YOU Happy(/ier) then it was the right choice! I have had the ESP engage too quickly and had "lesser (??)" vehicles walk me (ok, ok at least for the first little bit! hahahaaaa).... A vehicles success in my books is guaged by the size and number of times it puts a smile on the drivers face.... (oh.... and that of the women near you at the lights! )

382 hp @ 6,000 rpm Net Torque 391 lb-ft @ 2,800 - 4,800 rpm (CLK550)
Just did a comparison.. the CLK550 with 5k down would be about $680 a month. The BMW similarly equipped was $600.. For the added HP 80 bucks a month seems worth it.. Just my two cents..

The CLK550 blows away the 3 series.. no contest IMO.. Yes it's 10k-15k more.. but the money factor is really low.. I bet the lease rates would be almost identical.. The money factor on a 335 lease is not nearly as good..

Why does our math not add up people:
CLK550 = $55,675 - $5,000 (down) = $50,675 / 60 (mo. financing) = $844
335i = $40,800 - $5,000 (down) = $35,800 / 60 (mo. financing) = $596
That's a considerable savings - remember that's no interest. Don't try and cheat! Look at ya'll trying to fabricate the numbers!

TZ.. I am talking lease.. Wouldn't you rather lease a CLK550 for almost the same amount as a 335? I would.. I am not cheating as I have priced both and driven both.. I was seriously considering a change a couple of months ago.. Luckily the urge to buy is gone now.. Holding out for the next generation of AMG/M

Those are purchase numbers.. I was talking about a lease.. The money factor on leases for the CLK550 are really low because they don't sell a lot of them.. Whereas the 335's are selling in high volume so they stick it to you..

I mean, if that were true - not only would people not buy the BMW 335 (cause heck, I'd get the CLK550 over it), but people wouldn't buy the CLK350!

lol...this must makes the E63 a ****ty car then. There are at least 8 of them at my local MB dealer (yes, I've actually walked around and counted).
