335is or Mustang 5.0??
 
My wife and I are expecting in the next month or so, so unfortunately it's time for me to trade in the Z. I've narrowed my choices down to the BMW 335is Coupe and the new Mustang 5.0, what would you guys reccommend? I've test driven both and they are both amazing imo.

The 5.0's backseats would get annoying really fast if you had to strap a kid back there because its tight to get in. There is no way a 335i wouldn't be a better family car. However, the mustang has awesome performance, but the bmw isn't bad either.

i seat my fam great in my 5.0....my 4yr old loves the backseat...thats tough...both good cars.....hmhmhmhm

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

Yeah I'm really torn. I knew how good the 5.0 engine is, but I was shocked at how well the 335is performed, it is very close to the M3 (I guess that's the intent of the is over the i though).

335i sedan?

I'd honestly go for the 335 if you are going to have a kid in there. The Mustang back seat will be pretty difficult with a car seat.

I wouldn't ever want to try to have to use my back seats. I can't imagine what it'd be like getting a kid in/out of there.

IMO a 4 door would be a far more practical choice... a 335i sedan would be a good one. It will make your life MUCH easier and you'll still have a lot of fun with it.

If I have to choose I'd get the 335.

$460 for a plug n play tune and your 335is will blow the doors off a 5.0 and an m3. The 2011 335is still has the n54 engine instead of the n55 in the 2011 regular 335i... so it can still be easily tuned for tons of power.

but, call me bias haha

I'd go BMW 335i Sedan.
