Edmunds entry level luxury car reviews

Hope this isn't old news but Edmund has a review of entry level luxury cars. The Acura TLs came in a tie for second. G35 got 3rd place. Just an FYI.

last year 330i was beaten by TL-S. What changed this year? I thought 330i has not changed...

If you read the review, you'll find that the 330i has changed slightly. They made some of the options less pricy, and tweaked the steering some ...

I'd still buy the TL-S over the 330i for $8000 more though ... Perhaps if money wasn't an issue I'd opt for an M3 or M5

not bad...the BMW always getting better every yr

watch out for the 04 TL...with one of the best chassis in the world and an improved 3.5 VTEC is on the way pumping out 280hp

Like LiQice says.....$8000 more for the 330i. And if you want the 330ci, try $10,000 more!!! If I have $40k to buy a car, i will NOT get a BMW 330i or a 330ci. Is too much money for a very tiny car. TL-S should win all the Reviews and Awards!!!! Can't wait until the '04 TL comes out. But I think the Type S model may take couple of years after, '05 or '06.
I saw the new M45 on the road the other day, very NICE!!! Same engine as the Q45, but looks much better, 10x's better.

I have a friend at work who drives a G35 and can't stop talking about how much he loves M45 looks.

It's hard to justify the extra $$$ for a bimmer

they are great cars, but nowhere as reliable as an Acura. Then again, the handling on the 330 is so sweet. If I was looking for some value, no bimmer is worth it....if I had the cash, I'd be in some M car....or S/RS Audi.

Goes to prove my point that the G35's day was up. When it first came out, it was ranked 1st in 2 mags, but in the last 6 months it has been rated 3+ behind the TLs, Audi and 330Ci (car and driver last issue).

Where those g35 guys who were trolling around here now?
