335is or Mustang 5.0??

My vote would be for the BMW. In my opinion, they are the better made car and more room inside...

I would have to disagree completely. Just traded off my 335xi coupe on Corvette - iDrive is horrible, wheels are fragile (blew tire & bent wheel on mod-sized pothole that 'stang laughs at), accessing rear can be a pain as you need to motor the seat fore/back using power seat & fuel mileage is WORSE then my 2008 Mustang Bullitt. BMW had prettier interior, sure, though I really love the Tremec manual tranny (the new 2011s are better yet). I can also base my observations on having owned both vehicles, not just what I've read in the car magazines.

Also, you will save an absolute bundle on purchase price with the Mustang. That all being said, though, that 335is is a beautiful car overall. Why haven't you considered the G37 coupe - alot heavier then the Z but drives very nice (I used to have G35 coupe myself)

I considered the G37, but when driving it almost back to back with the 335is, the 335is just felt considerably faster and the handling more crisp. It was still avery nice car though/

Those issues were resolved on the 2011 models with the N54 motor (335is, 1M, Z4 3s-drive)
