I'm looking at this years new BMW's... It appears to me as if the new 335i coup is a better performance buy with 300hp, inline 6 with dual turbochargers, than the 530i 255 HP... The price tags only differ by about 3k (with the 5 series being more). Who has experience with either? I currently have a 540I and swear by the 5 series, as everybody has a 3, but I definitely want a sportier feel. Am I incorrect in thinking the 335 is a better buy than the 530?
0-60 in 5.2 on a 3 series? That's what Car and Driver says and I tend to believe them.
Also, what other cars are comparable in the $40k range that are worth a look? C&D also says that the 335 is the best in class.
Any input is appreciated
