Default coulda.. shoulda.but didn't cause i didn't want to. Hope the leds are worth 5K+Did i also mentione

maintenance..

I'm sure ur mom wouldn't mind spending 3k+ on brakes every 30k miles. Hope u were smart enough to get audicare. Even if u did, it doesn't cover brake or wear and tear items. Reading ur previous posts, pretty sure you paid for it even though they are practically giving it away.

While i'm here in my 335 smiling when my maintenance bill is $0...i guess being impatience does pay off..

Default Re: you're missing the point.. put the 335 next to an S5 and tell us you've made the right choice

all finances aside, because both of these cars are reletively equal, the S5 is a much better looking car and just different from the cookie cutter 3 series. Its a great car, dont get me wrong, but spare us from your arguments with acadia. whether or not he's buying the car because he actually likes it or he wants to own a status symbol should not interest you.

Be happy with your 335. Just remember it is in fact a bmw, not an Audi. Keep the angel eyes.. I think they look great except they are yellowish.

Are you quoting your BMW salesman? He sold you..

Default i never said 335 was better looking. i really considered the s5 for the reasons u stated above.

But in the end, the finacial part was what tipped me to the bmw side. I did a lot of research before i made my purchase. The only way they are equally in price is if they are both loaded with every option.

For me i didn't want to pay extra for option i didn't want. BMW allow me more options with my option choices, so i went with them. Thats all.

S5 is a beatiful car. IMO the 335 is comes in a close second.

To tell u the truth, my sales guy didn't even know about the s5.

If i didn't have to worry about finacial aspect when i buy a car, i would probably be driving an sl600 amg or something.

But i live in the really world where money does factor in.

Default I'd never buy a car for status, if that were the case, I wouldn't have started liking Audi to begin

with. I liked that people just didn't know how great Audi was. It's one of things that drew me to them, now of course, this is changing, unfortunately, but that's what success brings. As for the 335, I'm just messing with amulet, he can buy whatever he wants. I personally wouldn't get the 335 but that's because everyone with a few dollars get's one, and honestly I just think the S5 is way better overall car for what interests me.

Default that's the thing

the difference in price between the S5 and 335 isn't enough that it matters to me. $55K vs $50K who cares it's $5K, it's not enough that it matters to me. I'd just spend the extra to get what I want, which is the S5. I think the S5 is worth way more than the $5K price difference compared to the 335, but this is all subjective. IT's what matters to you, ultimately.

That's the point if money was no object, I'd still buy an S5, even I had a million dollars to spend on a car, the S5 would still be one of them. It's what I want, and ultimately what I'm going to strive to get. Of course, if money is no object why limit yourself to only 1 car.
