My parents bought me the car and had given me a price range so the cars came from the E60 price range or lower. I didn't spend much time over the 335 as I wanted a sedan and I didn't like the 3er sedan. The other one was the Infiniti M45/35 and the GS 460. The 535, in my opinion looked better and made more power plus the idea of turbos was really attractive. Glad I went through with as I wasn't huge into tuning cars (not am i now, but I know more now than I did before) and now I don't think either of those cars have the same tubing options as I do now, what with the JB3 and all.

I was gonna get a E46 M3 but we got a good deal on the E92......when I actually have to start paying for my own cars I will probably try to find a well maintained E36 M3 or E46 330ci if I have enough $

I looked at the Infiniti M and G, the Acura TL and RL, and the Lexus ES and GS before buying the 535. They were all reasonable cars with certain areas that they did well in, but the 535 just flat out blew them away.
