12' 335i Msport Auto or 12' 335is DCT

mrjcover · 06-19-2015, 06:12 PM

Hey guys stuck in between the two! Was fixed on getting the 335is until I seen the Pure Stage 2 Turbo upgrade for the N55. They both have around 40k mileage and only $2k price difference. I'm definitely going to mod it. But need advice of which one will be the better choice in the long run performance wise.

The 335is DCT

bryce-o · 06-19-2015, 07:01 PM

+1 for 335is

'12 n55 tuning options suck

RSTECH · 06-19-2015, 08:02 PM

+1 335is dct

einbruch10 · 06-19-2015, 08:22 PM

+38,985,587 335is is the much better investment. /thread

335ji · 06-19-2015, 08:24 PM

335is DCT!

Miller335 · 06-19-2015, 08:42 PM

335is all day, yesterday and tomorrow.

BQTuning · 06-19-2015, 09:25 PM

Ok that settles it. After you get it, mod it, and then let me tune it via COBB AP or MHD

Your in Florida so better have a FMIC lined up to get as it should be your first mod + K&N drop in filter

The Ghost · 06-19-2015, 11:39 PM

It is less about the IS and more about the N54. N54 or S55 FTW!

mike@x-ph.com · 06-19-2015, 11:47 PM

335is of course !!

amr_e90 · 06-20-2015, 12:02 AM

Two words , Downpipe fix

brewnami · 06-20-2015, 08:40 AM

I don't like automatic transmissions at all, but DCT > Auto, N54 > N55, 335is > 335i.

TheGlobetrotter · 06-20-2015, 10:01 AM

Ceteris paribus, the 335is DCT. It's a different beast, from the front bumper to the exhaust note. Either way, make sure you carefully digest the service history. On-time oil changes are critical for these engines to last (especially in locales where it's hot). Good luck!!

Thanks Guys!!!!

Where would I be able to locate service records, CARFAX doesn't show much...

mrjcover · 07-01-2015, 09:05 AM

Thanks for all you guys support! I recently driven a friend M3 and it literally changed my life! So I'm going to go that route!

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 07-01-2015, 09:30 AM

335is not only for DCT but for N54, no brainer!

mrjcover · 07-05-2015, 05:49 PM

OK guys the M3 fell thru... Either the 12' 335i 33k Miles for 28k or the 12' 335is 43k Miles for 29k. Think im going to pull the trigger on the is initially after all.

Miller335 · 07-05-2015, 09:00 PM
