Default 335i , Evo X, NSX, or Supra?

Im in the process of parting out my IS350. Most likely going to get the 335i (Luxury, Speed ) My Budget is no more than 28-29K. After looking at car trader i noticed i could also choose Between an 08 Evo X, NSX or Supra.

What do you guys think?

The Supras im looking at are 97's.
Nsx is either a 92 or 95.

between them, I'd choose an EVO just because I think it would be the most convenient car out of all.

I'd get the NSX in a heartbeat, even with the older 3.0L. Saddest thing is that a 1992 or 1995 NSX with tons of miles might actually be more reliable than a used 335i, especially the N54.

The Evo X MR is a great daily driver due to the dual clutch; I'd take it over the 335i if you could find one used in your price range. If you go for the GSR you might even be able to buy a new one for around your price range, since Mitsubishi can't sell them.

If you want to be a god among car enthusiasts, then get the NSX or Supra.

the Evo is the only newish car out of the bunch that I would take...

love the NSX's - a blast to drive, but the ones in your price range are 15+ years old and, lets get real, their time has come and past...

Supras - awesome cars, but we are still dealing with a 20-30k car that is 12+ years old

Evo - just as fast as all of the above, but, new and moddable... on top of that, you won't have to pay exorbitant prices like you would the BMW...63

I voted for the Supra, but honestly, I'd shun away from all of these. They were all likely used and abused.

I'd go for a Supra or NSX...probably a Supra. That car is a classic and is still good today. In 4-5 years, the 335i will be just a 3 series, but the Supra is still a Supra.

Just a heads up that the sub-1997 NSX are going to be slower than your IS350. No way to make it faster unless you are adding forced induction to it, decreasing that legendary reliability.
