If your 08 328 has 80,000 miles it's probably worth about $14k. A 2008 335 with 80k is not worth $29k, it's worth about $16k. My advice since you're 16 is sell the 328 and buy a civic with a manual. You don't need a fast car when you're 16. When you're out of college buy a 335. It's gonna more reliable than a supercharged 328i just because of the fact the engine was made for forced induction. And if you really want to supercharge your 328i for some insane reason, you're probably gonna need bigger injectors, aftermarket ecu, higher capacity fuel pump, and depending on how much boost you wanna run, forged rods, pistons, etc.
Like I said, buy a car you can beat on like a civic si with a manual and then buy a nicer car when you're older. You'll appreciate it more and odds are you're gonna get into an accident and smash your first car up anyways.  |
I disagree.
When I was looking at cars last year a 2011 328 with less than 20 000 miles was selling for roughly 28 k to 31 k with premium package at the dealer
A 335 Same year with similar mileage and similar package was selling between 34 k and 39 k .... In ontario there is a 13 % charge on tax. So the difference between both was around 6 K and it was a used one... I was only considering the N55 engine though
I was not able to find a 335 for under 31k , while I was able to find 328s for 26 k ... At the end of the day I just went for the 328 as the deal was too good and I was able to pay it all cash ( private sale , I saved a lot in taxes) while buying a 335 would ve been 6 k more plus interest on a small loan ( probably another 2 k )
It may be different for the 07 , 08 , 335 models as they are famous for having high maintenance ( Im sure there are reliable ones out there) and many people do not want to buy them but still the 328 is still cheaper by a lot ....
