xDrive all-wheel drive will be available on the 335xi Coupe

depending on tests and pricing its either going to be an m3, s5, or 335 xi coupe for me next ( in that order )
what do you guys think between s5 and 335xi coupe ? which is better faster cheaper fully loaded and better image ?

PERFECT!!!! I thought heavily about a 335 coupe but decided against it because of the Colorado weather. This may make me rethink my strategy.

In Sweden Auto Motor & Sport tested the Audi A5 3.0 TDI aginst the BMW 330xd and they thought that the S5 was more FUN to drive. It also won the whole test.
That and the fact that the Audi A5/S5 is soooo much cooler looking IRL makes the choice pretty easy. BUT, the new 335xi has better fuel economy so that might make the decision harder in the end.

I've personally driven the Audi A5 TDI, but not the 3-series Coupé so I can't give any final judgment on which of them is the most fun to drive.

Why just test drive both cars to see which one you like the most.

Personally i like the 335 better, i just dont like the A5, there is something wrong with its lines, it is not a design that says wow. try to look at it from the side. Inside i like both cars, althoug that i think Audi is a bit boring in newer models i think the same about the BMW. They lost the touch after the e46.

Why is the 335xi coupe faster than the 335i coupe? I know the AWD adds traction for better launches but the 328xi coupe is much slower than the 328i coupe?

Is this some sort of lighter xDrive from BMW that allows for improved rather than worse acceleration?

Definitely the BMW. The S5 is just not as smooth looking. They're both gonna have their pros and cons. Life's short, why not buy one of each?

BMW's X-drive is a much more advanced and quicker acting AWD system than Audi's torsen based AWD system. Let me know if you have any further questions.
