Thread on a Thread on a Thread: BMW 335iS
I don't put a lot of credence in RT and other mullet wrap magazine BUT the latest issue of Road and Track , March 2011 with the Next Gen 911 on it in Red has a test of the new 335 iS with the N54 engine (advertised at 320 bhp) the results were not particularly impressive:
0-60 4.6
Qtr: 13.2 @106.2 (car also has Available Launch control on DSG) Car tested had 6 speed manual tranny with Porsche's TT inspired overboost function
Price as tested : Ouch $ 57,540

$ 57 k for a 3 series that doesn't have an M logo on it 
.What's wrong with BMW? and who the heck would buy a 3 series for 57 + thousand ?

Of course, this isn't really all that bad in relation. I was just shopping for a new family hauler for my wife and went to check out the brand new Ford Explorer. With options, it was $50,000. Ouch. $50K for a better looking Flex/Taurus.

More food for thought. 2011 M3 on the left and 2011 Mustang on the right. Look at those prices and number. BMW- What are you thinking?

NO hatred here, JUST confused as to how Big Money Wasted comes up with their imaginative pricing?? Tell me its $40-45 K and I am in!! Almost $60 K for a 335, are you nutz?? (and to boot, a new C63 will eat its lunch all day long and those CAN be HAD in the $60s (I've seen high $50s in the C63 forums) .

BMW tried to position the 335is in between regular 335s and M3s, but ended up being too close in price to the M and C63 with discounts, dumb move in my book.

I'm not hating. Call BMW and ask if more males or females drive off the lot in a new 3 series..... Besides. I would buy my daughter one. They are safe and girls think that are as cute as Jettas.... That and its the perfect girl car, anything goes wrong, just take it in, blown speaker, needs new brakes, needs new anything, all covered.

BMWs have always been overpriced, but guess what? They sell. For good reason. The 335 will provide better road feel, steering (you ever owned a bimmer? NOBODY does steering like BMW), braking and cornering poise than most cars. For a lot of people that have the money, that's all the reason that's needed.
It's one thing to criticize price, but another thing to bash something you don't even understand.

This is full of fail. Look at the list of my cars smart guy oh and yes I just sold an 04 330 ZHP... Where am I getting these claims? Asking my BMW sales rep who sold me my ZHP 5 years ago. Go way please.
Geez, are you for real? Not only is your post very sexist but also without any credibility. Where are you getting your stats from? Don't throw claims out there without any data to back it up.

And sexist because I would buy my daughter a car thats ez for her to keep running and safe? Hm. Your right.... Ill make her build her own car or she cant have one at all.. Such a lame comment. Just because I am that type of man that likes to treat my girls like their safety and comfort always come first and they should never be left stranded on the side of the road, I am sexiest? To each their own.
