This is MSRP pricing of course .......Honestly .... I doubt you can purchase the 2010 GT500 or SS camero for under 50k at this point right now.

Well, since I have a 335i I'll give you the story on that car. By how many pictures you posted of it, I assume you're leaning to the 335i a bit. Also, deciding from GT500s, Camaros, and Challengers is one thing. They're all muscle cars with grunt and growl. Adding a BMW to the mix is like apples to oranges.

The 335i is a sports/luxury car. Its a classy car with tons of creature comforts and a powerful engine to boot. The E92 (07-Current Coupe) has a very sleek and aggressive style to it, especially when you had the M3 rear spoiler and Front OEM Aerolip (the front end of the 335i in the 360 forged wheels pics) . Its just a sharp looking car. Especially in black. The 335i's engine is amazing. Very responsive and very modable. For under $1K you can buy a used Vishnu V3 and up your boost from 8psi to 16psi within' 10min of tuning. The engine and car handle it like it should have been like that from the factory. The handling of the car is superb. My dad has a 2007 997 Porsche Carrera and I think my 335i handles just as good if not better. The interior or the car is a very comfortable place to be in. You have pretty much everything that you could look for in luxury car. I'd list them, but the options I have would be around 1 page to type. Overall, I'm VERY happy with this car and do not regret buying this car over the 07' Z-51 C6 I almost bought. BMW really did a good job with the 335i.

Cliff notes. The 335i is what you would buy if you want a fast, luxurious, sleek, amazing handling, sports car with refinement. Drive in style or run 12s at the drags (if tuned). Its the best of both worlds.

If you want that V8 growl and brute force that you get with the typical muscle cars like a Mustang or a Camaro then don't go for the 335i. Go do some test drives.

I hope that helps. Good luck.

BTW, you'll never find a '10 GT500 for under $50K. I might even say that for the 2010 Camaro SS as well. In that case. No hesitation. 335i all the way.

There is a list of dealers saying they wont charge over MSRP on the new Camaros on a lot of GM specific sites.....who knows if this will end up being true

I'm sure a lot of dealers don't want to hurt themselves like they did with the GTOs
