can't decide whether to go with the 328 sedan or the tl. my dad used to have an 04 tl and i was in love with it but there are those rattle things and other minor issues. plus it is a little big for my taste. i mean a bmw is a bmw after all and the drive cant compare, however it doesnt have nearly all the great features of the tl...just cant decide

 

go with the TL-S, I was looking at the 335i/xi b4 i bought the TL-S.
After options the BMW was $10K more with basically the same options that come standard on a TL-S.
I don't regret it for one second.

 

I was looking at the 330i for 2 weeks. If they had white with black interior when i was on the lot.... it was sold.

Stopped by the Acura dealership on my way home from the BMW dealership, test drove the TL and changed my mind.

In terms of value, luxury and performance for the money.....cant be beat.

Used the extra 10 grand for mods

 

Drive and price both cars with similiar options before deciding. I drove and priced a 335i, Infiniti G35x, and an '07 Type-S. I bought the Type-S because it seemed like a bargain compared to the Bimmer and had a much nicer interior and greater driver comfort than the Infiniti.

If money wasn't a consideration, the BMW would have been my choice.

 

man..what answer do u expect on a tl forum

of course, for the money, the TL

but bmw buyeres are not all abt getting the most value out of the money spent, it could be driving experience, status, etc. what is most important to u?

im not loaded, therefore i think its a wiser choice for me to pick TL for the value, but if i can, i would get bmw.

 

True, if money weren't an issue there are many more options.
Honestly I don't like how the 3 sedan looks, the coupe is more palatable.
But as for driving experience, I can't say that the BMW is a better experience, I find them comparable.
Also I don't think driving a 3 series is a status symbol, almost everyone I know can afford to drive around in a $100K car, the question is, what can you afford after paying for your car?
