Re: '08 BMW 335i vs. '04 MB E55 AMG

I like the benz more..
but the reality of today is that its an outgoing modell already old by the FL ..
And it has a monster engine with huge consumption.. so if you buy it.. kiss your money good bye
And the 335 is the exact opposite.. plus its plenty fun..ive driven it

SO BMW for me this time

Re: '08 BMW 335i vs. '04 MB E55 AMG

id go for the E55.

I've worked hard eonough not to have to worry about fuel costs, so that isnt a consideration.

Its an AMG and the noise it makesis very rude. Also my closest friend has one and has the pully upgarde etc and its neraly as fast as my M6

So E55 please

Re: '08 BMW 335i vs. '04 MB E55 AMG

Difficult - maybe one of the most difficult polls ever… I absolutely love both cars. E-Class with awesome engine, torque, sound, comfort etc…E92 with great design, also great engine etc…

…I would go for the BMW in the end…better looking car, more elegante, great 6-cylinder engine with good fuel consumption and handling.

Re: '08 BMW 335i vs. '04 MB E55 AMG

Even if the E55 is one hell of a car the reality of the matter is that it is an old car compared to the beemer. I would go for the 335i.

Best looking coupe ever?? ReLAX !!! Buddy the car is gorgeous I agree, but dont take it beyond measure ...



My vote goes to the E55 for 2 reasons, Its a monster on wheels, and its one of the most perfected automobiles till this day: great in all categories: awesome package with balance between design, driving experience and comfort, the E class in general is a very but very great car to own hands down...
