I was interested in the 2SS until I read the reviews.

I saw a bumblebee last weekend. Great looking car. I love 1st and 2nd gen Camaros, but the new one doesn't compare.

Its a cool car for the weekends. But it doesnt compare to a BMW as a daily driver. Great styling with a crappy interior.

I think some of these people dont even know what they are talking about. The new camaro is awesome and the interior is also pretty cool . Also, around 420 hp is nothing to laugh at. If I didnt buy my 335i, I probably would have picked up a challanger srt8 or camaro ss.

but in all reality, its for people looking to get a good looking, fast car. The 335i is more of an all around car. Thats why I have one

I do think you should do it, just as a second car.

I've seen several around OC. . .
I don't think the BMW customer is the same customer that is interested in the SS Carmaro.
I think most of those sales are going to go to the crowd that like the 70's model camaros.

HEre i go shoving my .02 in here. Since my father has been a mechanic for over 23 years he has come to a conclusion in telling me that US made vehicles are bad. Once your mileage reaches 100,000 mi. Be ready to sell it. They have engine problems, overheat, and things start pilying up. Thats just IMO idk if anyone agrees with this.. You usually see american cars in mechanics shops.

Got at least three running around my place in Pittsburgh.
Honestly, I thought I would be more impressed when seeing it on the street. Although, I have not seen it in blk yet, only silver and red, I bet the blk blows my mind!
Would I ever own one, nope...
I just have zero desire to own American cars, unless it was a 69 Camaro, then I would consider.
The interior in American cars may look cool in some cars, try to find one with any quality whatsoever, thats the problem!

Btw, last time I passed my BMW shop it was loaded with cars as well!!! HAHAHA, I get your point though! The good news about American is that I can pretty much fix anything on them including pulling the whole motor if necessary, but thats why I have a CPO'd BMW, so they can do it and I do not have to worry about it at all.

That car is way to small in the inside... I'm 6'3 and my head was touching the roof, that's why I got the 335... I' wasn't comfortable in the camaro, but I'm very comfortable in the 335... Performance specs are great if your getting the SS, but it's just too small in the cockpit...

Are you saying you were looking at both cars and settled on the BMW? If so you had a wide variety of cars to think about! How did it run?

I think that is a way downgrade. If anyone were to downgrade, atleast get a V6 Accord Coupe..........American cars are, well, crappy.
