Thread: 335xi Coupe or 4dr?

Ok...so a buddy of mine at a local dealer showed me a 2009 CPO 335xi coupe the other day, I drove it and it surprised the hell out of me, coming from a 5.0 Mercedes V8 I was surprised that I believe the 335 has more higher end than my car Anyway, that's the only 335xi coupe around here I have been able to find. I got a weird vibe from it that says don't buy me tho, so I'm passing on that particular one. They do have a few 335xi's that are 4 door as well, and I was wondering what an owners comparasin on the two were. I would love to have the coupe, but if the 4dr has the same characteristics and especially the same tune-ability, I may decide on settling for the 4dr. I can do all the internet searches I want, but I would prefer a drivers feel of them before I even drive the 4rd to see if its worth it.

And yes, I am looking for the xi model specifically, I need to have a 4wd vehicle with a maximum of a V6...even if it is the N54 setup....

Also, if anyone has access to looking any up...... I'm looking for a CPO warrantied 335xi coupe with under 35k miles for under $35k. About a '08+ range. The one at the dealer here is in mint condition '09 for about $35,900 with only 20k miles on it. But again...first time I ever actually got a vibe like that from a car, so I am passing for sure.

Don't SETTLE for anything. Get what you really WANT.

No experience with them first hand but I would imagine same tuning for engine etc.

Make sure you post pics if you get one.

Don't recall whether it was 2010 or 2011 when they went to the N55 twin-scroll instead of the N54 twin turbo. More tuning options on the N54 cars at the moment, but the N55 is the go-forward motor so they should start to appear for them as time goes on.

I don't think there is much deference between the coupe and sedan in the same model year other than aero/appearance stuff.
