Those V6s put plenty of power down. Enough muscle to get the job done and they sound good. Congrats on the massive upgrade!

This seems to be a trend its just something about these new Camaros. I'll be switching soon too. Any noticeable difference? Likes/dislikes? Im probably going to go for the 2ss but what do you think so far?

Congrats. Former 335i convertible owner here. Nice car but we became worried about maintenance costs. I think that the V6 Camaro is a great car. It will be fun and give you plenty of grins.

Agreed, I actually had a 335is before the M3 and had constant problems with the charge pipe and turbos. I am still super happy with my decision. The V6 is a great platform, and I am going to stick with my opinion that I believe the SS isn't completely necessary if you're not going to the track. However, the same thing could have been said for me having the M3 haha; so I definitely get wanting the SS and at the end of the day it just comes down to what you really want. I find that a lot of the hate and criticism about the V6 comes from people who either A) lack the knowledge about the Gen 6's, or B) Are haters and don't even have a sports car

The only noticeable difference so far are a few more rattles than the BMW. For instance, I have the Bose system in the Camaro, and if I crank it up the doors will rattle and vibrate noticeably. Whereas, the BMW never had an issue like that. That being said however, I still feel that the Camaro is a lot sportier inside and feels more updated than the E92 (the new F30s are a little more comparable). However let's not forget, the Camaro is at least half the price of any comparable BMW.

not necessary? bah!!

Well - OK, but it's available, so we take the power!! Never enough power!!

ya - I am getting a rattle from my door speaker in my Colorado too. Also BOSE. Wasn't sure if maybe a speaker was even blown. Not sure if I will take it to the dealer or open things up and have a look. I'm guessing a little bit of dynamat would go a long way

The rattle comes from the 2 loose fitting, plastic plugs on the underside of each door. Check out the last couple pages of this thread. It's an easy fix.

I can only speak to the difference between the 335i and the SS. The LT1 is just an amazing mill (NO disrespect to the other engines, I just picked the LT1). Even with the twin turbos, you waited for them to deliver the power. With the LT1, it is always there (big V8 torque is addictive). The magnetic ride control is just an amazing piece of technology, too.

I will just add that I grew tired of the BMW steering wheel is an option pricing model. With the Camaro you either choose the 1SS or 2SS and there is your stuff. I have three options on the 2SS. MRC, NPP and Nav. Everything else was just like a good gumbo, it was already in there.

I am with you, too. Glad you are happy with your new Camaro. I do not miss my German cars either. They are great but the expense doesn't balance truly with the benefit. Now that I have to be more realistic with money being retired I am Glad Chevy has us covered !!

Absolutely. I loved the V8 in the M; its intoxicating. The SS is one hell of a car/powerplant. I would love to check out the MR, but I purposely didn't test drive one so I wasn't tempted to go with the SS haha.

Yep. The German auto manufacturers definitely "nickel and dime you." My favorite was how satellite radio and a backup camera were options in a car that was 50,000+ lol

Yes, definitely. I have had quite a few cars already and with this purchase I was trying to find the happy medium between driving something fun while still planning for the future
