no more 15 nismo tech, looking at M235I

Zoren 370 · 12-03-2014, 05:01 AM

Well my opinion even in the alphabet the M always come before the Z. Lol

Footloose301 · 12-03-2014, 05:07 AM

The M235i is a nice looking car but I would pick up a 435i or M3/4 instead.

I absolutely love the 2015 STI and I test drove one the first week they came out. Grey-Limited, no nav, no push button start. The reason I didn't order one is because theres so much negativity surrounding "ring land failures" on stock motors! Until they replace that engine with something more stout and with better gas mileage I won't consider one. The EVO has a much stronger engine and aftermarket to go with it, but its ugly, interior is horrible, and looks aren't aggressive enough for me.

G37 IPL you'd be wasting your money on a vehicle slower than what you have now.

OP if your going to go with a BMW I would atleast go for an M3...

Zoren 370 · 12-03-2014, 05:13 AM

^ possibly its a toss coin between a C6 and a e46 M3 my next buy.

You can get a used 2012/2013 Z06 with low miles for $48-52k asking price.

Theres a ton of used 435i's on cars.com in the low $40k's

DLSTR · 12-03-2014, 05:34 AM

435i is nice. Larger and with less powerful motor. M235i far more sporting. I considered the 435i for just a short time.

I'm a legit famboy. Buy it! It's hard for me to offer any other advice!

First off, if you're getting a used Bimmer, make sure it has a warranty. Can get expensive if you don't. That being said:

1. For what the STi costs, you will be very disappointed with the fit/finish/interior quality.
2. The M235i is at a decent price and looks cool. If you want the best of both worlds (i.e. practicality and sportiness), get a 435i xDrive and add a JuiceBox. Done.

I hate black leather. So boring. Yours....well your dead Zed...Permission Leather interior. IF I ever get another Z, its got to have the Permission Leather. My GC 3.8 interior is just...AMAZING. And that Permission is a deal breaker for me. Be nice if they put an 8speed auto in there too though.
