ok so im getting the car bug again... i was in bmw of manhattan today just looking around :whistle:... i wouldnt buy from them,cause of the prob i had in service... but i was looking at the M3.. now i own my 335 out right... so im thinking to get the m3 or go with the audi s5... i had a s4 before i got my 530i.. i love the audi.. but im such a bimmer nut...

some help and advice would be great... price wise on the M3 im good with, but the audi they want stupied money for it... i mean stupid.. im going to lease.. i was going to buy but i lost so much money on my 335i.. id rather bank 75% and use the rest for a lease...

Hi,

The Audi looks great (if you like the Las Vegas style headlights...), but the M3 surely is the far better ride. I mean, RWD is much more fun than AWD and the M3 is much more high tech.

In The Netherlands, the M3 is more expensive than the Audi, and is worth all the extra money!

Make sure you you order the new auto clutch transmission, as well as the 19's!

I think they're both sharp cars in their own right, and both kind of different.

I do like the lines and the look of the S5. But having driven an M3 with the DCT, its an ungodly performer.

Its hard to choose a car for someone else - kind of like asking about shoes, its all in how they fit.

For me, as much as i like the look of the S5, I would get the M3. Its just too much fun to drive on the windy twisty roads. But, if you're in Manhattan and the NYC, maybe its not as critical.

I would say its a no lose decision.

get a truck

Option C is to Dinanize your 335 making it into a real sleeper!!! :cool: o:) ...and save a boat load of $$$ too! :think: :thumbsup:

Wait till early 2009 until Audi releases the RS5 with their dual clutch tranny! ;)

i have the dinan flash already.... i love it... and it is a sleeper... but its something about that v8 i cant let go of....

ok so i just got back from driving this beast of a car... ill be honest here... it didnt really feel faster then my 335i... the v8 sound was crazy... the audi im not going with.... the bimmer is way better then the s5,IMO..... now i just gota tell the wife o:) :whistle: :whistle:.... im going to go with 2 door the new smg tranny,by the way it`s really better then the old... i think im going to with red or the dark gray.. i know its two diffrent worlds in color... the red one with gray seats looks crazy :wow: thats the one i test drove.check it out here`s thr link...... there giveing me32300 for my old car... my lease is going to be 980 a month for 36 months with 15k a year im giving them 4g`s... sounds good to me....http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/BYO...AModelCode=0937

Great choice. Don't forget to order the 19's!

Personally, I wouldn't opt for the grey interior. I saw a red w/ beige last year and this one looked much 'richer' than the with the grey interior.

Go for the dark brown interior on the dark grey exterior. IMO the best combination!

I'm sure you can order the brown leather through BMW Individual.

it does llok good... but in my 5er i have the auburn its kinda the same... but yes the gray exterior on the brown does look good... i wish i could see it in person... but im really feeling the red... i never had a red car before.. im going to go with the red...
