Hey guys just wondering if I could get your opinion. I might have to get rid of my 2008 335 in the next month or so (financial reasons). I have the speed bug and was wondering what other car or SUV I get that is a 4 seater with some speed and less than and $25k? I want a little style but mainly speed. Maybe a pontiac gto or cadillac? I know some guys on here might be able to name a few cars that can be modified easily for speed. Thanks!

Personally, Cadalliac is over-priced, and since GM killed the Pontiac line a couple of years ago, not sure I'd want to own one (potential lack of parts issues).

Speed & Power / Dollar would be more in the Mustang in my books. I have no idea about reliability, but since you're considering the General anyways, not a big deal.

With that platform mods are pretty much limitless. Car & Driver did a article on the M3 and the GT500. The Mustang did gain slightly better lap times, for a lot less dough. Sure, it's still a "Mustang" though....

Like the poster above said, I'd check out the new Mustang GT. Also, if you're looking for used, you could maybe look at the older STi, Evo or a Z? Not sure of your age / preference but these cars are pretty solid and hassle free. If you can give us a better idea of what you're looking for, the forum members would be able to help you more..

I heard about the evo but I dont think its for me. Im 37 with a 5yr and 7 yr. Class and speed seem to be outta my price range. Maybe Ill stick with a suv. Id like to keep the power but I need a 4 seater thats cheap and for the kids too. Maybe a old nissan Max or altima.

Less than 25k? Thats how much your 335i is worth how would you be gaining anything financially by trading?

Im just ball parking. Depending on what I can get when I sell it. My payments are like $525 a month. I need to get it under $300.

don't rule out a used 128 or 328. I think they're a lot of fun to drive.

Maybe I look at a used X3.

E39 M5, E55 AMG, Subaru Legacy GT, Pontiac G8 GT..

if you dont mind paying it off longer, you can always refinance for a lower payment

[AngelinIsRich08]

Mitsubishi Evo MR, Camaro's, Subaru Impreza's to name a few...

Just randomly throwing it out there, the new Hyundai Sonata has an available 2.0 T with almost 300 hp I believe, and I've heard it's a nice car. I think it would fall in that price range too.

Capsgod made some good suggestions. Look at used AMGs if you're looking for straightline speed and style for ≤25k. E55 AMGs are everywhere. Search autotrader and you'll see. Super fast and classy at the same time.
