    But if I were to go batshit crazy, I'd go for the Murcielago LP640. Or the Gallardo LP540.

    Actually, I'm surprised no one mentione the Estoque, although it might be because it's still a concept, but it shouldn't look drastically different when it's in production.
    ah my bad. yep. 135i.

    It's okay.

    Not a bad choice, it's just that it starts out kinda expensive. 335i if anything, for me.

    And maybe the Audi R8, although I think that came out last year right?

    It slips my mind when it was unveiled.

    So, you say the 135i is expensive and then that you'd rather go for the (more expensive) 335i?

    Maybe he means expensive for what you are getting.

    Well it has the same engine, a similar chasis, a similar amount of kit and it's a better performer.

    I'd say that the 135i isn't bad value at all.

    Right on the money.

    I'd rather have the slightly larger coupe if fuel consumption is about the same.

    In the US, the 135i starts at 35 large. The 335i starts at 42 large. It only takes a couple options to push it into 3 series coupe territory.

    Here a 135i is 45.800€ and a 335i Coupé 51.300€.

    Fuel consumption is actually slitghly worse in the 1er. But it's faster. In fact it's almost as fast as a Jag XKR. Which costs more than twice as much.

    So far the Audi RS6 Avant isn't coming to the US, but if it was I'd totally be on my list. Nothing like taking your girlfriend, couple buddies, the dog and a few golfclubs and leaving a 911 GT2 in your dust.

    I think the GT2 would be faster if not significantly faster.

    It's 2100kg in fact. But what actually want is the E63 AMG Estate, which weights 100kg less. It's not much but it's something.

    In the hands of an inexperienced driver on a tight mountain road with damp condition and leaves fallen from the trees you'd be faster in the RS6. In the GT2 you'd be killed in the second corner most probably.
