BMW 335i coupe or SLK 280? - Page 2

Tummy · 08-22-2008

If you get a 280, I suggest getting the AMG sport package as well. I think that greatly improves the look. For probably less money than a new 280, you could always get a used certified SLK55 AMG.

That might be dangerous for a 17 year old though.

We actually have our SLK350 as our only car at home. I own a small "crossover" buy use that for my business only. At home, when we have to buy something big, like furniture, we just rent a car for the day or have it delivered.

I don't think the OP has personally worked for/accumulated the money needed to buy such a ride (no offense to the OP). For 24 you're doing just fine, and with good taste I might add.

i dont have enough money for this. i dont even work. my parents are buying it for me.

**smoothbnzf4n4tc** · 08-22-2008

Okay first question I have before you make a decision, are you buying used or brand new? If you're going brand new, why not get the new 350 with the newer engine? Get the AMG package and you're halfway to a 55 (new one has the 05-08 AMG wheels as well.)

I just placed an order on a 2009 SLK 300 Iridium Silver and Gullwing Red.

I'm better than everyone.
$57,500+ 12% Tax

You didn't get any options?

In Canada, I would say that at a minimum, the SLK300 Premium package to get the airscarf, heated seats, and steering wheel. I'm assuming it's cold everywhere in Canada.

If I were 17 and spending my parents money, I would probably also order an iPod connector (media interface option), Entertainment package, Xenon headlights (for safety), and the sport package (the 16 wheels look too small IMO).

My slk was my daily driver, and sides from 3-5 months a year, i wouldnt recommend that.

If u go out, the two seats is a pain. It usually gets left home.

Hauling around alot of gear? Another bad choice.

i fit my woods and clubs in the back of the trunk, just take the woods out of bag and put them on top with an angle, they seem to fit fine for me, and there standard clubs.

335i vs SLK280

all I have to say is

sledgehammer vs apple.

alexthegreat · 08-22-2008

i dont wanna spend too much on it. ill probably sell it and get a different car once im in university.

alexthegreat · 08-22-2008

also, cars cost more than both sledhammers AND apples, idiot

im pretty sure that a steering wheel is a standard option.

That's great insight. Thanks for enlightening us.

patoleas · 08-23-2008

A Boxster or a Cayman could also be a good choise, I had them, I enjoyed them
a lot, but when I saw the '09 slk 300 I thought, this is a better looking car.

Have fun test driving all of them.

I understand your young but a 335i is a better value than a SLK280 from a technical point of view..
