2007 328xi Coupe vs 335i Coupe

kevinz · 04-27-2007, 06:17 PM

Is there a difference between the 2007 328xi coupe and the 335i coupe in terms of the exterior DESIGN?

I have noticed 1 thing:
- Exhaust pipes are separated.

Anyone notice other differences in the EXTERIOR DESIGN?
Should I get the 335 just because of the separated exhaust pipes? I mean does it really make a difference on the overall looks of the car?

Also, which color looks better; Jet Black or Black Sapphire(Metallic)?

Other Than the Exhaust, and possibly the wheels, not a lot of difference, just subtle things, trim might be different...

Get what you like, I vote for Sapphire because the flake in it will help hide scratches much better than the jet.

2nd the sapphire, my jet looks like shit 4 months old.

also on the 335 the grill lowers are silver not black...

oh and yeah its almost 100 HP greater. but thats not exterior i guess.

the 328xi coupe also sits higher than the i coupe's cuz of the x-drive. Plus, no sports suspension on the xi.. check out some of the pics some members have of the e92 xi.

I agree on sapphire over jet black too.

The mesh behind the front fascia is a different color also. Check out my 328xi with 189's and H&R sport springs.

Yeah I think Sapphire holds its color better overtime. But it will cost more to repair if you ever need to repaint your bumpers.
