2007GS450H Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 How safe is the 3 series? im thinking of getting one for the wife I went to the dealership and saw a 2007 bmw 335i sedan MSRP closing near 50k :o i really like the power in it I would be trading in an 2003 rx 2wd It really has all the stuff my wife wants but im still concerned about a compact sedan thanks in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 im sure it will be fine. Its compact, but it has all the airbags currently invented. Obviously, it wont do as well against a big SUV however, it at least has 4 or 5 stars. i will say that the IS (at least in europe) won an award for being the safest comact sedan...

2007GS450H Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Im still thinking about it I drive an 06 lx470 and i know what would happen if a 3 series would hit it I really like the pickup really nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiasfinest Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 ALMOST 50k!!! its the lowest series bmw has to offer and it almost hit 50k? that is unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007GS450H Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 WITH ALL OPTIONS THE 335i starts at 44k and when you add i drive leather and all those options it goes to 50k I am now thinking of the GS460 i think the extra 10k would be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIBBBY Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The new M3, 5, and 6 Beemers can almost take my SC400...The M5 is real fast and went neck and neck with me when we I raced one... I have a new respect for the M5 and M6 Beemers... The M3 I can take... Just thought I would share that for no particular reason what so ever ..... This BMW question should probably be asked on a BMW forum if you want to find out all the facts...Just a suggestion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rx330driver Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I still might get a gs460 or a gs450h what do you have now...? i thought you had the hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007GS450H Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 i actually had one on order but could not wait so i got a 2006 lx470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branshew Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 i actually had one on order but could not wait so i got a 2006 lx470 What??? I take it that the hybrid wasn't for ecological concerns since you just went to the most gas guzzling product in the Lexus lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djspawn00 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 They hybrid was the top of the line GS, its fuel savings were nice but really negligable... but an LX... thats big jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007GS450H Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 The gs450h is really for peformance but the lx sure fits my needs and happy i got it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
