Started test driving this weekend.

Well I am starting to test drive cars for my next one and I just wanted to hear your opinions on these 2 cars, they are at the head of my choice list right now.


2003 330ci vs 2003 G35 both of them stick w/all options cept navi.


edit: the g35 and 330 coupes in case it wasnt obvious

Damn!

Both are sweet!


Personally, I'd pick the G35. I passed up on a 328 to get my 3.0CL. I don't regret it. The only BMW I would get is the e46 M3 (which will most likely be my next car).

Good luck with your choice. I think either will make you very happy.

I really like the 330ci

I think I'll be looking at the 330ci (sedan) and the 2002+ A4 when I'm ready to trade.

The 330 I can understand but the A4 is a lot slower no matter what engine you get.

To me, it's not how fast a car can go...I just want a nice car to get me to work and back.

G all the way. Way too many 3 series around. At least the G (for now) is a little rarer. plus with a new 3 coming soon that would kill me to have a new car that was the "old model"

7 series HAHAHHAHA... um yeah I got money but not that kind of money. Im looking to spend under 31 so that is why I am leaning toward a 2003 g with less than 35k on it.

Good luck on the used G...I have not looked but I have heard that they hold value really well. IMHO, don't get a Bimmer. Every yuppie has one.

My boyfriend's buddy has a 330i, and I think it's a sweet car. It's fast, and handles well, not to mention, looks hot!

G35, German's don't know about style anymore, hell the best selling car in Germany right now is the Ford Focus.

My friend has a black 330ci with some nice looking chrome rims. It's definitely nice. But I'd go for the G35.

black G35, I saw one yesterday as he went by me with his dual-dual chrome exhaust screaming. And I mean it was fuckin loud. I dunno who made the system but man it makes the G35 which already has a nice exhaust note sound mean as hell.

If I just needed a car to get around I would keep my car cause there's nothing wrong with it. Either that or get an suv hybrid cause the new 4 runner get like 60 mpg. and still looks a helluva lot better than an echo
