So here is where I am at....

Drop 15k into the subaru, make 500whp, and have a totally new look or sell everything and get a 335i? I said it 100x, but it's really got my twisted. If anytime is more perfect to sell my car, it's now before I get too deep. I've been reading alot about this new bmw and it's awesome. They are putting down 415whp 490wtq with just exhaust, tuning, and an intake. I really don't want it for that, I just like the M-tech exterior styling from the factory. Besides that, just some wheels, coilovers, and tint but I wouldn't get too into this car. I know I can get some big boys under a 335i, 19x8.5 up front and 19x11 in the rear with 305/30!

Just give me your opinions. Thanks!

You gonna make this a poll?

CHAOS · 11-19-2007, 12:47 PM

youve got so much into the subie... i say stick with it... go crazy on it

Kevin · 11-19-2007, 12:48 PM

Thats a big decision.

I say sell everything and get a new car.

oh and a little back history. My parents think im ****ing stupid for dropping so much money all the time and then just changing it right away. They want to see me walk away from this car and get into something nicer that I can use all the time while I finish up with school.

ozthunder · 11-19-2007, 12:54 PM

Yea, I feel ya on the parents heat business.

Go back and edit, you should be able to selection an option for a poll. If not you may have to make a new thread. It should be below the main window, near/around attachments.

If I wanted a track car, I definately wouldn't start off with a $45,000 bmw. But, that's the same sizes I have seen most 335i owners running. Again, im still learning and trying to read about them, im far from an expert.

1988 Olds · 11-19-2007, 01:02 PM

D as much as I love your subie I think you should go with the BMW. It is just so much better looking IMO, no offense and I think 400hp is more then enough.

ToyotaTat · 11-19-2007, 01:04 PM

definately seems like a tough decision, do you honestly think the bimmer will only get the mods you listed?

whitezenki · 11-19-2007, 01:06 PM

No, a three inch stagger would be understeer city EVERYWHERE.

Exit ramps, jug handles, curvy roads, everywhere.

I still voted BMW.

ozthunder · 11-19-2007, 01:06 PM

Maintenance on a BMW is prolly a different animal than a Subaru; if its stuff like that being a concern, I would think twice IMHO. But if not..

BMW.

05Accent · 11-19-2007, 01:08 PM

DAMN!! thats hard.

xEJ20x · 11-19-2007, 01:16 PM

Get an E46 M3.

335i's look 10x more sleek, have the new bmw body style, not to mention have way more potential from the factory.

ozthunder · 11-19-2007, 01:19 PM

That is true..but if you ball out, how much of a warranty would you have?

And +1 on the 335 vs M3 comparison (in regards to D's side)

Yeah, that's what I was referring to, the vishu piggyback. Are they really that fast? WOW.

58k? I just went on bmwusa.com and built one with all the options including the m-tech aero and it was $44k and some change.

ozthunder · 11-19-2007, 01:28 PM

Markups, demand, etc etc.

Im not 100 percent sure, but i thought he told me his was 58k out the door. We do live in doylestown and everything is alittle more $$$ here. its a badass car though and it fucing hauls ass for just having the piggy back on it. im driving it to the track on monday and shooting for 11s. if it does it, it will be the first 335 in the 11s. thats just with a piggy back!
