View Full Version : BMW 335i Coupe, Convertible, or Sedan? Austin 06-05-2008, 03:21 AM I do not need to haul people around, or things? Which is best looking? Preforming? And any other important points! blitzen25bm 06-05-2008, 03:36 AM Don't get the convertible unless you will use it. Otherwise they have more wind noise, heavier, less ridgid and more things to break. Everyone is saying the coupe is faster. I don't think the extra 20 or so pounds in the sedan will make a difference. Ok so BMW says .1 seconds quicker to 60 than the sedan. But the sedan is stiffer due to the B pillar and it has a better turning radius so it will be a faster car overall. I like the shape of sedans a lot more than coupes but on the 335 the 2 door has better looking lights. I would go witht he sedan just because I like sedans, it is more practical since I don't really use a car's trunk it will be easier to just throw everything into the back seat. It also has a better resale value which is important to some people. Ivo Ruest 06-05-2008, 03:36 AM I would choose between the sedan and the convertible. The coupe is less fun than the convertible and less functional than the sedan. The sedan offers the same as the coupe plus more room and 4 doors! The convertible offers a bit more fun than both with the removable cealing!! Maybe I would go for the Convertible!! Next the Sedan and last the Coupe! Thats on my opinion! hugobossdb 06-05-2008, 03:41 AM If you're looking for performance the rear wheel drive version of the coupe is the best selection. It has the best power to weight ratio of the three. Sedans by nature are heavier and convertibles have added weight into the frames to increase the amount of force it takes to overturn the car. As a result the coupe will accelerate faster and corner sharper. Looks? I personally say the coupe. Although if you aren't 100% concerned with performance the convertible is quite fun for warm months and with BMWs solar reflective leather it makes it more tolerable than before. I'd say if you don't need the extra room of a sedan go for performance and fun. You might even want to check out a Z4 if the performance aspect strikes your fancy. tstud925 06-05-2008, 03:41 AM Convertible! I drove one and loved it! I have an A4 Convertible from Audi, only because I didn't need the extra power of the 335i engine, and I liked the a4 better then the 328i convertible. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.......pretty fast! Sedan is basically the exact opposite of what you want.....the coupe is nice too...may perform a little better since it is lighter then the convertible.....if you need xDrive AWD you can't get it in the convertible though....only in the coupe or sedan hope this helped! good luck! also, dont get the z4.....if you get the 335i you have two more seats and if you never use the seats you can still use it to hold things that wont fit in the trunk C7S 06-05-2008, 04:40 AM Coupe is best looking an performing. And lightest. |
