DUH! The 335i is beautiful, handles great, light on fuel, practical, fast and just luxurious enough to be called a cheap GT. My favorite sub-$50K coupe. That does, BTW, include the new A5. It's just not quite as nice as the 3.

Saw the A5 a few weeks ago in person. Looks realy good though.

The best 3-coupe? Ofcause! They wouldn't be as stupid as to make it worse than the old one...

I love this car. It is subtle, sleak (this one is for you S4) and elegant... But at the same time aggresive and one hell of a ride! the only thing I don't think is that great is the interior... I know it's a no no to say so, but the interior is a little on the boring side! I think they pulled it off way better in the 5 and 7 series.

I think they were aiming for the interior to be stuble and modern while not overdoing it. Sure, some elements need some work, but everything can't be perfect, can it ;)

I agree... And the minor deficiencies in the interior won't stop me from buying one next year!

Stock 335 coupe is 300/300, not 360/400 - though with a Visnu companion board add in, you can get numbers like that with a $1500 15 minute install.

No wonder you are a Lexus fan, what a stupid and ignorant comment. Those awards go to companies with original concepts.

The Lexus IS350 holds no candle to the 335 coupe. Plus you can't get the IS350 in coupe.

Another crap comment brought to you by LexusFanForNever.

lexusfanforever:

1. the 335i is significantly faster than the IS350. while they both have factory claims of 5.3 0-60, reviews have consistently gotten high 4s for the 335i and right around 5.3 for the IS350. combine that with the far superior handling of the 335i and you have a clear performance winner.

2. how are turbos cheating? they're a great way to get lots of power and efficiency at once. so i supposed the IS-F is "cheating" because it needs 5 liters to ALMOST match the power of the 4 liter M3? and lexus hybrids are "cheating" by adding an extra engine?

Wow, shot down! Nice comment, enthusiastx.

Turbos are definitely not "cheating..." they're no less fair than Lexus's extra half liter of displacement, for sure. The twin-turbos in my old A6 were a great way to hustle to work, but still get 25mpg on the highway.

Yum yum... The 2.7TT... Now that was one sturdy workhorse! We did an A3 with a 2.7 TT conversion... It just slotted right in there and with a bit of tuning it developed on the good side of 400 hp... The only problem with that car was that it had FWD... Not a nice way to transfer that much power! I like the old 2.7TT way better than the 3.2!

BTW: I agree enthusiast! But you know, if you don't do it the Lexus way, you are cheating! Just like if you use filters to clean exhaust gas... Cheating, no matter that it makes the cars extremely clean.... Because toyota doesn't have it (Well, they have some of it, but it doesn't work that well). Diesel engines... Cheating because it defeats the purpose of the gasoline hybrid. magnetorheological suspension... Cheating... Double clutch, cheating... And ofcause turbo charging is cheating! So what if the engine is cleaner and has more power (340-350 hp in real life... Just wait for the facelift come 2008 i'm positive the rating will get a bump upwards now that the E46 M3 is gone)... It's still cheating because it is better than the IS...

Here's a good thing to remember: If the germans have it and the japanese don't they are cheating...

:D

The IS350 is the one that is cheating with its larger displacement to compete with the likes of the M3.

The 335i coupe is a very impressive automobile. Its exterior appearance is great. The only flaw seems to be the inexpensive looking interior.

I'm curious -- have any of the folks on here who complain about the interior of the new 3-series "looking inexpensive" actually sat inside a new 3-series? I'm guessing there's a lot of folks just regurgitating someone elses opinion they read online so they can sound like they know what they're talking about, because I don't get it. It's nicer than a C-class, the IS didn't impress me other than the nav screen, it's worlds better than a G35 -- probably the only interior in the class that seems richer is the Audi, and that's just Audi's thing. And it's pretty close anyway. Someone explain it to me, please (and by "someone" I mean a person who has actually been in all these vehicles, not the opinion regurgitating brain sharers who typically like to post "their thoughts")

I agree... The interior is in doesn't have any kind of cheap feel to it. It's just a little tiny bit dull... But the materials are great and so is the buildquality... And it doesn't matter anyway, because when you start that engine and pull away, you forget about everything else, because for a luxury coupe, it sure is one fantastic handling car! Nothing in the segment comes even close!

Thats what I have been telling them since I first joined.... They think that if the interior isnt up to par with audi it makes it automatically cheap. I like BMW's interiors, they give a sporty luxury image.

Yes, I will admit, it's hard to keep up with the interior my S4! (-:

On a more serious note, the 3 is not cheap at all. It may not look as freakishly modern as the button-laden IS in there, but the materials are every bit top-notch, only playing second fiddle to the A4. The only BMW interior that I think is truly "cheap" is the E60 5 Series, but perhaps that's been cured with the refresh. I'll have to drive one to find out. But I do know that the 3 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, X3, X5 and Z4 are all quite nice on the inside.
