but, call me bias haha

:rolleyes:

why would anyone keep a 5.0 stock

:rolleyes:

but for a full blown family, yeah get (4) door bmw, we have 5 cars so it doesnt matter here

Blow the doors off huh? so you're telling me they've cracked 11's with a tune eh? lol. :rolleyes:

As far as room is concerned, if your wife is a small woman, a little one (5-8 years old) would be ok, but the back seat is pretty cramped. The Stang will be cheaper to mod and maintain, but for a family, I definitely would pick something else.

Another thing to consider is the regular 335i. Buy that and a tune and you have an iS with more power and you saved yourself a lot of money.

I'm pretty sure the IS is a lot more than a tune though - M3 suspension bits, M3 wheels, different front and rear bumpers, performance exhaust, M3 steering wheel and other interior components. It seems to be a pretty decent package.

I would definitely go with the 335is sedan :tup:

Without a doubt........... BMW

Fine, I'll be the first to say it: keep Z and get beater family car.

This is a Z forum after all people.

Betwn those two choices OP, i'd go for the 335is SEDAN.

Or perhaps a G37s sedan instead for less $...:happydance:

People who are in the market for a 3 series won't look at a Mustang...

The 335 seems like the more family friendly car, especially the sedan.

But I would go with the new STI sedan.

This. But if you insist upon one of these two, I would go with the Bimmer and put a Vishnu chip in it.

Guess he doesn't know what cai and tune does for the 5.0, cause no 335is with just a tune will blow any 5.0 out of the waters.

Sure, it'll blow the doors off an M3 and a Stang.

But it'll also blow its own motor in the process with all that boost.

Regardless, I'd pick the BMW for its sophistication, better road manners, balance, interior, and (objectively) better looks.

I'm not going to argue. But you might want to do your hw. People have had these tunes for over 60,000 miles sometimes. And the boost isn't that high. All their engines are fine.
