I guess it's the "inner beauty." haha

Or maybe it's just that BMW has SOUL!

C 350 is a nice lookin car, but its engine is a joke compared to the 335i. The twin turbo 3.0L does it better in every way.

Hardly, who here really thinks the 335i coupe doesn't look better than its rivals. There isn't a non M,AMG,F, or RSX that performs as well as this one does. Every other rival that is does not have a few capital letters in the name is just not as fun to drive.

looks rather bland to me but I can't say the G37 looks much or any more stylish A5/S5 looks better.

My family owns both, and I have driven both, and IMO they are different cars. They are also marketed as such. I personally think that the styling of the C is far more handsome and classy than the 335, and its interior has a more luxurious feel. The 335 interior is horrible IMO. Performance-wise, the 335 obviously dominates, as already stated.

So if you want more plush and luxury, go for the C. If you want sport, go for the 3.

I think the poll is a landslide because most enthusiasts want sport. he he.

you guys know any good dealers that can offer really good price?
ding ding ding...if you're still having to go thru your parents for this decision, i hope they by you a camry/accord/altima, something in that range.

reason is...one, your probably to young to manage such vehicles and pull yourself out of danger once your in it. or two, your sponging off your parents and need to get a real job and start to build YOURSELF up, not have them do it for you.

I voted for the 335, but I personally would go for the coupe. Small sedans such as 3, C and IS are simply too cramped in the front for taller people, while the coupes are much more comfortable, with more leg room and longer doors with longer door armrests.

Agreed.

The coupe is beautiful...the sedan is not.

I'd say that the A5 is the only true competitor that looks better on the exterior than the 335 coupe (there are a multitude that have nicer interiors). Again, I don't think that the S5 is a true competitor because of it's price. The S5 is priced in the same market as the AMG, M3 and F.

Since you mentioned that you are limited to the sedan, I would pick the C350 over the 335. If the coupe were an option...335 all the way.

If you have to go the sedan route, the C350 Sport in white is stunning. If you have to go coupe well I need not answer that one for you
