Battle of the Bimmers: BMW M3 v BMW 135i v BMW 335i


http://www.edmunds.com/insidel... Before you start sending us flaming e-mails complaining that a comparison between the 2008 Audi S5 and the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe is an obvious mismatch from the get-go, you should know a few things. Our first full test of the $53,000, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 was a bit of a revelation. With a 354-horsepower version of Audi's direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 under its hood, the voluptuous Audi S5 ran a 13.3-second quarter-mile at 104 mph, just 0.1 second and 2 mph shy of the 420-hp 2007 Audi RS4 sedan. What's more, the S5's slalom speed is within a couple mph of the harsh-riding RS-spec sedan. "It ran a 13.3? With that kind of speed, who needs a $67,000 RS4?" we asked ourselves. We believe so strongly in the 2008 Audi S5 that it earned our Inside Line's inaugural Editors' Choice Award. So we acquired (hastily perhaps) another 2008 Audi S5 and set it against the new 2008 BMW M3 Coupe, a car now fortified with V8 power for the first time. Speed-reading the specifications sheets of these two cars, they seem like natural rivals: the 354-hp, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 measured against the 414-hp, rear-wheel-drive 2008 BMW M3. But as it turns out, we gave the 2008 Audi S5 a bigger challenge than we had initially intended.

The 135i is best for its price and fastest on straight line. But if you want a sports car the M3 is the ultimate driving maschine. 335i is to heavy and has not the superb handling of the other two Bimmers So M3 or 135 would be my choice (if I had the Money already)

i wouldn't say obviously because that 135i is something special it would have been their pick if the M3 wasn't a lot cheaper.

the is-f looks like the designers were drunk when they made it. the hood doesn't fit the car and it has cartoon exhausts. yeah it is a real drivers car with a 7 speed auto.. and how does an is-f fit into these groups? IS 350 would be more appropriate, but it would get annihilated. sorry, but no.

what does that mean : bimmers plz ?

these bmw cars are so ugly though except for the 1. Lexus is-f is the best looking and equally vicious.
