So like I said a while back I'm getting a new car (next week)

I test drove a 2013 Cadillac ats 2.0T, has 18k miles for 22k.
-this car is very comfy, it has some decent power, but it's not a car you feel like driving fast. Also there's a decent amount of turbo lag

I also test drove a 2013 BMW 335i xdrive coupe with M sport package, 50k miles for 27k
-the interior felt cheaper than the caddy, it felt like I was sitting high up too. On the plus, it's much funner to drive than the caddy and the steering felt a little sharper. There was some turbo lag, but not as much as the caddy.

I'm going to go check out a 2012 audi s4 with 48k miles and $29k today sometime.

Have any of you had experience with the caddy or bmw?

My in-laws have a 335i and it's a pretty good little car.

The interior is gay as fuck and the whole press everything twice thing is pretty fucking homosexual. Other than that, they have over 100k on it and never had an issue.

I've had a few ATS's for rentals and I liked them far better.

None of the cars on your list are really going to give you that "race car" feel though. They are all luxury sedans.

I know, I just wanted a middle ground car. A little performance, with a luxury feel. Are first I was pretty sure I wanted the bmw, after about a week after driving both I'm starting to lean more towards the ATS

The ATS can be tuned for pretty decent gains

Not to mention it's a GM product so you know if anything were to go out parts are a dime a dozen. I can't say that for Audi or BMW

Well I got to the dealership but they already sold the audi, but going to test out a 2011 550xi with 52k miles for 27k $

Go with the caddy imo

GM > Euro

drove the 550xi

nice car, good interior had some good power, but its a big car and it feels like a big car.

I own a 135i FBO, can help with any questions about bmw. Personally idk how you even compare the ats and the 335 handling only a "little" better the caddy feels like a damn boat.




what press twice are you talking about? the only thing I can think of the is the door and you can easily code that out.

The doors, The stop button to completely shut off the car. Once to kill motor, once to kill the radio and everything else. The end phone call, Nav Button etc...

BMW thought it would be cool to make sure you hit every button twice to insure you didn't change something by accidentally hitting one of the 6 trillion buttons. My least favorite thing is that god awful turn dial that you have to use for everything... Try putting in an address in the NAV once... It's like playing pong on atari. Their's is a '13 and I've honestly never been in another one so maybe the new ones are different?
