335i or 550i - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

Lexasgs400 · 03-25-2012, 04:58 PM

I know these cars are quite a bit different
I just sold my lexus gs350, great car
I decided I wanted to get back into a BMW
Originally I wanted a 335 coupe, loved the way it drives
After continuing to look I stumbled upon the 550i and it is a very sexy car
Both cars I am looking at would be 2008-2009 with sport package and automatic

The 550 seems like more bang for the buck
My commute to work is 7 miles and on the weekends we are always in my wife's sequoia with the kids
Annually I drive less than 15k miles a year

Which car would you rec
Which is more reliable
Downsides to either
Which would hold its value better
Etc

Any help would be great

335i because it doesn't have dead steering

the e60 550i is a better car for your need.
