M3 m5 m6 or 335i?

M5 all day, I personally would only consider the M5 or the M3, and choosing between those is just choosing your personality type.

Oh and on a side note (I havent read all the comments but something about them breaking down) This coming from a bimmer owner: All cars break down and have things break on them, my 12 yr old look like its a 6 yr old, second owner, 140k, only major mechanical problems that i have had that were not caused by just general deterioration from old age, was the engine block was leaking a tad(quick fix) and one time when it was raining and flooding on my way home, I sat in a puddle when stopped at a stop light //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif and got water in the intake(but that wasnt a big problem either) So aside form general wear and tear from old age like things breaking off in the interior and a few plastic pieces in the engine bay needing to be replaced(cracked radiator reservoir) its has been a great car, replacement parts can be very expensive and limited of brand choice but your also guaranteed quality in them. No other car drives quite like a bimmer(they have a different feel to them just different not necessarily better, get a sportier/faster version though for a tighter suspension, mine's way too soft //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif), at least no other car that i have driven. Also, when they are older they are bitch to take apart cause all the little plastic clips on the car break off from never being undone before, but with a newer one audio upgrades shouldnt be difficult to do, hopefully.

The integration is a ***** you can get codes for adding aftermarket stuff.

Knowing me once I get the prototypes finalized..

I'll put 1 12 and a alt in it but it's staying stock because I'm not gonna ruin a m series with a ton of aftermarket speakers hence I want the premium sound system..

The rpi gtm exhaust is pissing me off I need it!

That's because BMW makes strides to improve there cars..It's 2012 the 335i that goes for 50k 5 years later still is worth more than half it's original..

As for the Toyta I think they are overpriced..

Toyta makes good stuff but if you want a high performance luxury car toyta just doesn't cut it..

Take a look at the own parts before you say high maintance cost..

To change my plugs on my Nissan is the same procedure as a BMW and cost about the same..

Try repairing a caddy, or and high proformance car..

It built with better materials and more expensive parts that's why it's cost more and is more expensive to repair..

BMW is a very well balanced car and I've never had a toyta Nissan Honda dodge or Chevy that gave me the confidence comfort and ride the BMWs I drove did..

The Benz is more like the American cars

Big motor heavy

Let's put more power and claim its faster, lol foolish Americans..

Anyways bmws have proven to be reliable, if you see them broken down I promise it's because they where abused..

toyta was making faulty cars not long ago but noone seems to remember that..

People actually got killed..

I never said the Bimmers were unreliable but I still say the Japanese trump them as far as reliability goes. But, any car will last if u maintain it and any car can break down. I just want to point out that I am a BMW fan lol. Always have been. I know that driving experience you're talking about in the Bimmer as I LOVE my aunt's 335. The only reason my Camry got pulled into the discussion is because I was talking to fronty about it and the value in comparison to some other brands.

Obviously, my car won't handle like a Bimmer and i wasn't saying that. I was simply trying to tell him, that, for the price, its pretty hard to beat and I still believe that.

I remember the Toyota thing a while back and I was sick of them blowing it off as if it was something the user was doing wrong; so I know where you're coming from there.

Don't think I was trying to say "Don't get a bimmer, get a Camry" lol That'd be flat out stupid IMO, for the cars you are looking at. Any M series will stomp all over my Camry performance wise and I know that and respect that. The thing that bugs me with BMW, is that, seemingly, unless its an M, you're not getting ish for your money. I doubt I'd ever push a 3 or 5 series unless its a 335 M3 or M5, b/c they just don't offer much to me and as far as ride comfort, having ridden in the flagships for a years, I'll say the 750 we had was very smooth and trumps the S500 in that area, but I think the LS460 has em both beat; but its the slowest one too. It's just all in what you're looking for in your car, and what you are willing to (or feel like) you are giving up....which is why I said Bimmer makes a nice car and, from what it seems that you like in a car, you'll enjoy it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I still vote 335 of your choices, unless u need more space (M5) , which I dont remember u mentioning......

The 335i is very nice but after driving a M it migh not be in the running..

I love the dual clutch ******, even though I love manuals there is noway I can shift that fast.

The m5 is faster but it's alittle big, I guess I'm controlling and having that extra length and weight I feel more control in the m3..

I'm sure it's my personality not the car..

Don't know if that's bad I'm just more comfortable so it gives me the confidence to drive it harder(definitely not a good thing)..

Basically I'm going to mod it and race when I get a chance, I'm not talking street race nether..

Both will handle very well. Of the M's id go m3, for the reason u already stated of feeling more in control. I like that feeling too. I doubt you'd be dissatisfied with the M5 though. What kinda price differences are u seeing on em? I'd say get whichever feels like the best deal for your money and get to work on her.

Nothing new m3 is about 50 m3 55..

I don't buy new cars, value drops as u pull off the lot, if I can get a warrentary I'm good to go..

The m3 I'm looking at has 28kmiles fully loaded for like 51!
