I choose BMW

Since the demise of my 335i I have been going back and forth between a 911 (my childhood dream car) and another 335.

Tonight I was fortunate enough to be able to test drive a black on black 911 for about four hours by myself. (It's a friend that is selling his)

I drove it in the city, highway, neighborhoods, I even parked it my garage.

I had a blast, but for me, I think the 335 is the better all around car. I am not trying to start a debate. The car was just a little impractical for me and I am single with no kids. It was a bit of a disappointment because I have always loved 911's and the engine behind you at 6000 rpms is lovely.

Now, I am going to drive the M3, but I see myself coming back to the 335 with mods this time.

To be continued.

My old 911 was better than any BMW I've ever driven by miles.

I just like the versatility of the 335 better. I am also 6'2, so I like the extra room. However, once in the 911 it didn't feel cramped except my right knee was kind of smashed against the center console.

Yeah, I like gold diggers. I did get quite a few looks in the car tonite. I really never did in the 335 to my surprise and disappointment. Too common I guess.

The 911 is a toy. The 335i is an advanced car.

Of course the 335i is more practical. Go with your gut and quit listening to these droolers.

Needs to be modded. I turn at least a dozen heads daily.

A 997s isn't exactly rare depending on where you live..

The 335 needs a lot of suspension mods to be a real car, both in terms of looks and performance. Ive never driven a P car, but Id imagine no mods are required.

Your decision certainly deserves a call to 9-1-1. In your circumstance, it should be Porsche all day long.

To me it seems that you want the BMW.

If an 09 911 couldn't get you out of a 335, not much will.

To be serious for a moment....My dad loves the Porche Cayman and he doesnt like the 335i

I on the other hand, think the Porche Cayman is ugly and I love the 335i (Hence why i bought one)

Moral of the story, it is a matter of personal preference, let the guy chose what he wants

I love it when people do the opposite thing to common opinion. Personally, i wouldn't buy a model of car till i know that i could buy the best example of its kind.

The M3 looks fantastic from a practicality stand point and it is the best 3 Series you can get......

^^Agreed. If your gut feeling is telling you BMW, then go with the M3! It's hard for me to see how someone seriously considering a P 911, would end up with a 335. I love my 335, but M3 all the way.
