Ahh, well if we're considering preowned M5's It's really a no-brainer.. All the power you'll ever need.

550 is a real POS...

335 is really fast out of the box..I have one on order...coupe with paddles..the auto tranny in it is sweet
Haha i know, that's why i said it was weird that the Z4M didnt feel as quick maybe because it felt more like a sportscar and i was expecting more!

Supposedly there's a Dinan upgrade getting the 335I to 400 HP and TQ plus a BMW Performance Center aero kit that looks pretty bad ***. I can get all that for under $52,000... I guess the 335i it will be.

Does anyone have any pictures of the body kit for the 335i?

You mean 335, right?

Out of the three you posted, 335 would be my choice. I hate the looks of the new 5 series and Z4M is not my cup of tea.

Yup... I fixed it.

You know... I am still questioning myself. If I follow my heart I say Z4M Coupe just because the thing has more "sexy" going on... but the brain says to go with the 335i... crap!

You can always supercharge the Z4M. Stage 1 S54 kits are putting down just north of 400whp these days.

if you are leaning towards the 550i in any shape, i would just get a used m5. otherwise i would get the 335i. i personally would not consider the z4m coupe, but would consider the z4m vert...

if money was not an issue my choices would be 1. used m5; 2. 335i; 3. 550i; 4. z4m coupe.

Brit if you are buying a 335 or Z4m leave it stock ....if you are going to mod the thing to hell no sense in dumping the TT

I have a couple thousand miles on my 335i Coupe with Sport Package and Paddles, and I gotta say, this car is a blast to drive. Its quick, sounds great, and handles great right out of the box. I love the looks of it and the fit and finish is much better than the previous 3 series. The car is bigger now too, so the rear seats are very roomy and comfy for 2 people.

I hate the looks of the new 5 series, so that would be out of the question for me.

The Z4M looks pretty cool, but it does only seat 2. I havent driven one though either.

Good luck!
