2015 Audi Allroad, 2007 328i coupe
This thing is tight! The 2007 328i coupe is larger in the interior for all but one measurement. Same for the 2014 C-class coupe!! This surprised me. I know its based on the c-class and smaller then the Sedan but was not thinking THAT small.


Not a deal breaker but here I was thinking it was a bigger car!


Wife asked me about back seat and I thought it would be a bit larger. My BMW is really quite comfortable with its fold down armrest. Not "roomy", but comfortable as its ergonomic. Very rare I have one back there. My Belgian Malinois does not complain!

2015 Audi Allroad, 2007 328i coupe
Post script:


A unicorn appeared and I bought her. 2013 535i heavy optioned M-Sport with 6 speed MT. They stopped making the MT after 2013 and In my heart I was not ready to give up the third pedal quite yet. 28,000 miles Black on Black. Currently there are no M-sport manuals anywhere on Auto trader and this was the only one within 500 miles from me. That's as far as BMW lets you look. It was CPO and low miles so I have 38 more months on warranty. IM also a big fan of the inline 6 motor having had three previously

I wanted to thank those who answered my questions and wish you all many happy miles with your awesome coupes!!!

I suppose he is not looking at me because he is tending to his white poodle in his lap who wants attention?

I suppose he is not looking at me because he is looking for a donut shop?

I Suppose he is not looking at me because he fell asleep?

I suppose he is not looking at me because he is looking the other way catching his reflection on a window thinking about he looks so good in his car?

And yes, Im looking at the car, not who owns it. its not a reflection of who or what you are unless you want it to be. Then, its kind of sad.

You kind of seem like I jilted you in some fashion. Sorry.

The E-coupe is a beautiful car where as my 535i, even with M-sport accents is not nearly as pretty. No offense taken, and I'm just having fun with you.

I ended up spending nearly 10k more then I thought but when it came down to the drive-train (the guts) was my deciding factor.
My thought process went from E-coupe, but since its based on the C-platform I started looking at them as well. I saw a 2015 C-400 and the new interior blew me away along with the 400 motor. It was now stretching my budget and I was not convinced I was done with using a clutch. At that price I realized I might be able to get a low mile 535i as described earlier. While my sedan is nothing to turn heads and will not be appreciated by the masses (pedestrians will see it as a rather typical 528i), I actually prefer a sleeper (the c-400 is nearly identical to the c300!) to a car that attracts attention. No right or wrong here. Beauty is more than skin deep!
