Hey all:

Happy Holidays and New Year to all!

This morning on my way to work I noticed the 328 coupe, which I thought looked really good....as I'm not familiar really with this car, I was hoping you guys could answer some questions I have.....

1)I did KBB new car pricing, 328 coupe w/ premium and auto (no flames) which invoices at about $37, 250(virtually same price as G comparably equipped)....do you feel that this car can be had for $1000 over this invoice price or less?

2) What's your overall impression of this car, particularly driving dynamics?is it quick?any glaring deficiencies?

3) do you think this car is a good value for the $?

Per my last post, based on the 135 price, I had made a decision to buy a G37....again, the cost was almost 4k less than the 135, and had some features that the 135 as I configured didnt have.....I don't want to leave any stone unturned, so i thought I'd ask you, the experts about the 328 coupe.Please note I'm not interested in the 128 at all... Also, 328 comes in black/coral red combo, which is very appealing to me

Thanks in advance for your replies....:wink:

C&D rated the 328i above the G35, C300 Sport, and new CTS this month. You might want to pick up a copy of their January issue.

I read that review about 3 times. Its amazing how it owned the G35 with 70less horsepower. to the Bavarian.

do you recall what the 0-60 was on the 328?

id be Extremly impressed if you did get better then $1000 over invoice.. i'd think you 'd struggle to get that even..

328i(coupe) man=6.2 auto=6.8
328xi(coupe) man=6.8 auo=7.0

^^As pew BMW spec's..

The normal discount on the car runs anywhere from $500-$1000 although you may be able to do better if you have a strong relationship with your dealer..

I love the new coupe's.. even the 328 feels very punchy..
typical BMW, drives and feels very well put together.. go drive one back to back to the G.. the G will be much quicker but will be noiser (not in a good way) and the fit and finish isnt near as good..

(no flaming me.. i own a Z and work for Bimmer so i know what im talking bout... lol)

My opinion.. if perfromance is not KEY to the purch then id lay with the Bimmer.. better resale and no service costs for 4 years.. Infiniti is not cheap in that department..
