Ohhhh... I love the 335 Cab to death but I have to admit, it's not the most sound decision when it comes to tending to your wallet. It's awesome, but it's an indulgence.

I was so smitten with the cab this past weekend I'm now hatching plans to get one pre-owned a few years from now. Of course, by that time I'll have the new Z4 to drool over, right? Oh the humanity!

True, in 335i form, but why didn't they compare a lower-end verison since it was being compared to a "VW" and a "Volvo". Surely a 328i or whatever else they have in Europe would have sufficed. Of course the 335i is going to cost more, it blows the others out of the water.

Re: Autobild: BMW 335i Convert. vs VW EOS vs Audi A4 vs Volvo C70

Why are they comparing a 335i to these cars? How about a 325i? That would have been a little more fairer from a performance and price POV.

As it is, the 335i easily kills the others in peformance, but naturally looses out in costs. Still, it would be my choice from this bunch.

Right, I mean why not include a CLK550 too!

BMW, hands down. No surprice that it scored the best in all parts apart from costs, so a typical BMW

PS. If there were only the VW and Volvo, i would pic a C70 anyday!

Congrats for the VW. I honestly do think the 3er and the EOS are the prettiest of the lot.
