what are your thoughts on this car?

It's a good car. A little overpriced when compared to the competition, and the interior seems a little outdated but I do enjoy seeing them on the road. They look pretty good. I'm happy with my IS350 tho.

does the "twin turbo" make a difference at all...i heard the car had potential and reading on this site the is350 beats this car. correct?

I wouldn't say the IS350 beats it. If your talking about acceleration, I would say both cars are pretty equal. In drag races, sometimes the IS would win sometimes the 335. But if your talking about features for the price, quality, and reliability, the IS beats it without a doubt. In the handling department, most people might say the 335 "feels" better or seems to handle better, but I believe that the IS handles just as good even though some might say it doesn't "feel" as good. Take em' both out for a test drive and see which one you like. Or if it's in your price range, wait for the IS-F or the next M3.

Love the 335 exterior. Hate the interior. Hate the fact both interior door panels are different. One has a door pull, the other a hand cup for closing the door. The tacky cup holders do not help either.

It is a nice car, a fast car. But after owning 5 BMW's, my current 645 is most likely my last.

The new BMW's coming out have no oil dipstick, run flats are standard, no spare/jack.

I am sure the 335 will kick the IS's but. I have no doubt. No japanese car has ever stood up against BMW. The IS 500 might change that, it remains to be seen.

Toyota needs to stop being so frickin conservative. Everything seems like optioned out camrys with no originality.

When I first saw pictures I thought it was so bland and almost as ulgy as the 3 series sedan...but then I saw a silver one parked in front of my dentist's office, and WOW it's gorgeous. It's too bad the price is sooo high and the interior (like all BMWs) sucks. But the exterior handling and powertrain certainly seems amazing. I would take one for a test drive, but...uh, I don't think they will let an 18 year old do it; even if said 18 year old drives a lexus.

335i topic has been beaten to death on this CL. A little search would help.

I personally would trade my IS350 in with 335i anytime. I love that car so much.
