Possible

This is a forum anybody is entitled to their opinion positive or negative.
The OP just need to filter it down.
But of course most of us carry flame throwers but in the end we still luv ya!
No physical harm done.

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.

Footloose301 · 12-03-2014, 05:14 AM

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.

evil370z · 12-03-2014, 07:56 AM

guys i found a new 2014 white 370z touring sports package, fully loaded, navi, MANUAL for 39k.

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.

evil, I drove a 6 m/t one pretty hard on several types of roads and I really liked it. It was a BMW employee's one on a lease and he told me, "don't hold back", so I didn't

As I have a 13Z which I really like as well, not ready to pay extra and switch yet. But in 2 years I will seriously look at the new M2 coming out next year as a 4 seater may be in the cards for me.

Quick thought, why not a new brand new 6mt sport Z? Will probably be over $10K less than what the dealer was trying to snake you on the Nismo deal?
