Help me buy a new car.
My beloved 2005 Mustang has reached the end of its life. 144K miles its time to move on. Going to start a new job with a commute across a long bridge over water. Going to miss it.


You help me decide. Point me in the right direction. Give me the great info that puts me in the right car.......I'll send $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
I want to spend between $30k - $40K.
Automatic
Got some style
Have to be able to fit in the car comfortably
Prefer a coupe


Right now I'm thinking new Challenger, Nissan 370Z, Mustang etc. Son is telling me to look at used Mercedes, Lexus etc.

What ideas do you have?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 03/11/2015
It's a done deal. I've bought and ordered a 2015 Challenger SCAT Pack Shaker. 392 Hemi 6.4L, 486 HP, 475 toruque, 4.1 second 0-60 time. Has all the same luxury "stuff" as the BMW and Lexus's.

Last years "Shaker" models sold out in 4 days. I decided if I was going retro, go all in and went with the lime green 1971 Challenger remodel. Bumblebee stripe and the Shaker hood. I deleted the stripes on the roof and the hood. Will take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Dark wheels.

I gave $50 each to the charity of their choice to Bearcat and Miles. When Simply Red shows back up, I'll get his charity the money.

The Car arrived finally......

Shit - not like some of these guys - some of these guys REALLY know their cars - I know enough to have to review my thoughts in my head to make sure I don't screw up any terminology - but I keep it pretty layman - some of these guys know all of the buzzwords. My buddy Clark who has the R8 - he talks to me sometimes and loses me. There is a WHOLE bunch to know on and about cars - especially w/ speed measurements - terms on rev's etc etc.... Just a lot to know and learn.

There's going to be a trade off between performance and reliability. It's basically the Alex Smith argument... some people like their cars to be game managers, and some want more while being willing to put up with the occasional trip to the shop.

SR is right. Do yourself a favor and forget the 328i and look at the 335i. The 328 has a twin turbo 4 cylinder. The 335 has a twin turbo six.

And SR, BMW didn't discontinue the 3 series. They made the 2 series to compete with smaller cars and the 4 series for those that wanted a little more room than the 3 series.

I will admit this - here's my deal w/ the m5 - now. The 2010 I own has the v10 and it's was acknowledged as an awesome engine - via reviews etc etc..

I REALLY am somewhat mad at myself for going that large - it's pretty danged large compared to the 335i - and I guess for whatever reason I didn't notice that when I checked it out prior to buying it.

It sounds amazing - like it sounds so good i want to make passionate love to it in the garage after a night of driving.

I love the car - it's that same Sapphire metallic black color that the other 335 was. So the color is sweet, it's a status car, so whatever - guess that's neat, sort of. But to be perfectly honest with you - the 335 was a lot more fun.

Also, tunes aren't exclusive to either device. The Cobb Accessport just allows a person to go in and change the factory settings for the ECU. You can control the wastegate, timing, etc. Factory settings are done for max fuel economy and reliability.

Can't wait to hear your impressions of the Challenger SXT. It seems right up your alley.

I have no experience with the German models but I've always heard you don't want to buy a used one due to high repair costs. Maybe SR or others with more German car experience could address that.

Damn. I'll have to drive yours to so I can form a proper opinion.


Several times.

For the newer 2012-2014 335i are they still using the N52 3.0L straight six platform? That is a solid motor.

I gave him the VIN# he is going to look up what they paid for it and where it was bought.

Wut? I don't understand what you're saying - the Cobb tune added 75WHP and about 90 Torque points - i'm not sure how that's factory - or am I missing something? Also I dyno'd close to 500WHP in the sedan gray JB4 335.

I mean the Access port gives you the ability to clear error codes - doesn't matter they'll just come back - but also the JB4 you can adjust your maps as well as w/ the Cobb.
