A5 or 328xi?
Hey guys,

On the market for an all wheel drive coupe and I've narrowed it down to either the A5 or the 328xi...

Which would you go with and why?

A5 unless you're on a budget (the 328xi is cheaper in canada by 6g's)

A5 hands down, beats the 328 in comparison, IMO. This is coming from a BMW owner.

Only thing i like better on the 328xi is that inline6. The 3.2 in the A5 is extremely boring, IMO

Otherwise, the A5 is dead sexy inside and out.

I vote for the factory extended warranty.

Which car doesn't matter.

Just make sure that sucker is covered if you plan on keeping it past the standard warranty period.

Well dont forget the BMW is probably cheaper. I agree the A5 is a much nicer car but make sure its worth the extra money to you.

The A5 is the one to get if you can swing the extra change. I'd be a little careful with the price though, since they're likely not discounting them much if at all. With options you could easily be up into 335i price range, and deals can be had on those at this point. (if a car that goes fast makes a difference to you.)

"Captain save an Infiniti" has some bias competition from "Captain save a BMW!!"


At least now we have some balance on this forum.

What they said!

A5 S-line if you can. Phantom Black or Ibis White on Magma Red and you have a killer ride.
