Which car after 135i?

Bizall · 11-12-2008, 10:35 PM

Might be getting rid of my baby. Which one would you go to next out of the 3? Any experiences good or bad for any of them are welcome/appreciated. Thanks in advance.

135i_TT · 11-12-2008, 11:07 PM

Or the Speed3 but i LOVE VW

Smallbodybimmer · 11-12-2008, 11:11 PM

I'm gonna try and keep mine until I can afford a used GTR

Novator · 11-12-2008, 11:13 PM

Will try to keep my 135i as long as possible, but M3 (E36/46/92) would be nice.

BMW Dreamer · 11-13-2008, 07:04 AM

Out of those 3 cars, ONLY the GTO. I drove a 2009 GTI and my Civic Si is better in every way, my 20 year old son agreed 100%

Go w/ the Ford .. tons of aftermarket parts if your into that and you can probably get one pretty cheap right now ..

I want to do the same but it will be hard to find one that hasn't used Launch Control.

If you replace your 135i with a Rustang, you are officially out of the club.

135i_TT · 11-13-2008, 11:59 AM

If you get a Stang get a COBRA! Those supercharged beasts sound nice and have mad power! But a GTO is a great choice 2!

Sephiroth · 11-13-2008, 01:36 PM

Honestly, none of those. What exactly do you want from a car?

lamini · 11-13-2008, 01:44 PM

According to EDmunds.com
99-02 E55 AMG
89-94 911
94-98 SUPRA
02-06 M3
91-94 NSX
08 GTI

AchtungF80 · 11-13-2008, 01:52 PM

Yeah seriously, is this our only 3 choices?

JKAWB · 11-13-2008, 02:08 PM

I say screw the 05 up mustang gt and get am 03-04 Cobra, those cars are nasty, cheap horse power, and will put you into a wall faster than you can say "Oh shit a wall!!!"

ChrisM135i · 11-13-2008, 03:01 PM

not really much choices... :biggrin:

My favourit car after the 135i would be a Porsche 911 Carrera... But i guess i have to go for a Touring in a few years

lamini · 11-13-2008, 03:06 PM

when I first saw the first two I felt like typing.....Are you serious?

jeremyc74 · 11-13-2008, 03:19 PM

I put 60k miles on my '05 GTO, and I'd love to have another one. It's the fastest most comfortable GT car you can buy for the money. Period.

I've never really been a Mustang fan, and with GTOs so close in price with such a nicer interior I don't see any reason to buy one, or than someone just being a Ford fan.

I owned a MKIV GTI for a year, and I'll never own another VW because of it. I've NEVER had so many problems with a car with so few miles on it, and such horrible warranty service. The fact that it's FWD would rule it out for me even without that. I'm just not a fan of the dynamics of FWD perfrormance cars.

bigslick82 · 11-13-2008, 03:19 PM

At this price point, there are better options - if you still like your BMW, but the 135i is too much, why not go with a 128i? I'm sure your dealer would like to make that switch.

speed3, used s2000, new wrx, and cobalt ss could also be listed.

The price point for the cars he has listed is under $20k. You're not going to get anywhere near the performance of the GTO or Mustang for less money.

My bad, I thought he was going 'new gti' prices, which is mid 20k.

I was also taking into consideration the whole package. If he wants all performance, why discuss a gti? He'll need to spend time looking at neuspeed or other tuners before he gets anything compared to the performance of a GTO.
