smokinHawk1647545499 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 i would go with the 535xi out of your list. well I though on the X cause awd is awesome... I have a 08 335xi and love it, I put on a JB4 used for $450 and it screams it should be making around 340 to the wheels. obviously since you said you wanted something big, id go with the 535, as the back seats will have more room, mine aren't bad but if you want size, go with the 535, i wanted something more compact so i went with the 335. the 535 will be a tad slower due to the extra weight though. you should be able to pick up a lower mileage 535xi for about $30k, i got my 335xi for $25800 with 41k miles. oh and i would suggest the sport package and idrive/navi. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5227/5591573785_dd2b66b207.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've never been impressed with the G8 personally. Maybe it's just mr, but the interior seemed cheap, and I wasn't impressed with the ride. If it were to be a RWD, V8 powered sedan, I'd go 300C SRT8 all day long. It maybe big, but drives great. The power, ride quality, and interior are nicer than any G8. Granted, the 335i seems to be some great bang for buck. I feel the opposite when I got my G8 there was a 300C and a Charger SRT8 at the dealer and I drove all of them and while the SRT8 had more power it just did not ride as nice or refined as the G8. The interior on the 300C and SRT8 to me just seemed like typical Chrysler cheap interior that belonged in a econobox and not a sporty/luxury sedan. I also liked the sportier feel of the G8 interior much better and it fit the car much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 My brother has a G8 GT. It's really nice. When I have to ditch the SVT Contour for another daily driver, it might very well be a G8. :nod: And I would take that over a Chrysler product all day long and twice on Sundays. Chrysler sucks...

Mr. Jones Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Only reason I didn't mention the 335 is due the size of car he was suggesting. The 335 is a baby compared to a m45/A8/ ect. Bob is a big dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltboostin Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Bob is a big dude, Hence the need for a tune. Also,t he G35 was mentioned by him I believe, so this is the same ballpark. I like my 7 series, but maintenance on it was JUNK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm guessing this will be a DD? 1) A8. Nice as hell, not all that fast. 2) Rover (I'm assuming LR3). Nice interior, go anywhere, feels like you're driving on a cloud. 3) CL55 AMG. It's quick, looks good but I don't like MB interiors all that much. Go for test drives, pick the one you like the most.

Tripleskate Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 This, they make 400wtq with just a tune. This. BMS can get epic power from the N54. The N55 is catching up though, despite missing a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
