The colour, I don't see it often
The 6cyl noise, N/A high revving 6 sounds awesome The interior layout The handling is amazing, despite coming from a "sports" Passat. Shafz.

The looks of the e92
The handling The latest software!!! The engine, smoothness, torque, bhp, high reving, constant power delivery value for money....2nd hand e92 £18k ....you get 300bhp, 0-60 in 5.4 secs, and great handling |

Anyways, back to the beeyems likes: I've had 3 330d's (E46 184 & 204bhp; E90 231bhp) and just think it's the best all round car on the market today. Seriously, there's nothing that can fulfil my personal daily needs like the 3 series. It's economical, practical (to a degree, as I only have one child and one wife....) and it's beautifully balanced and poised for those 'exiting moments.' of course, we have to talk into context here: it's no Fezza Scud or Porka GT3 - but for what it is, it's quite brilliant. |

I agree it's nice when you find a car that's a good all rounder for your needs and my 'gamble' paid off am pleased to say. Strange thing is when I owned the Porsches most people would just nod and say 'very nice', the neighbours would chat for ages but I know them. The French loved the Porsches bless 'em. With the S5 I actually get more strangers coming upto me and talking and asking about the car. This Wednesday bloke in an Alfa 156 Sainsburys car park was the most recent, said he 'heard' me pull into the car park. |

I don't have an A5 I have a S5 so overhere there's more 320d's on lease, same difference. Loads of beemers overhere so what and loads of Audis. Anything after the Porsche was a compromise and for me and it's me that counts as I own the car, the S5 provides the best compromise and still does. An excellent all rounder and bloody well put together. Me, I'm happy. |

I actually checked out a S5 when i was searching for my new car last year. Found the difference in price too much to justify. The S5 is much better looking then the standard lease-A5, but i still think the E92 is better looking...

The 335i never crossed my mind tbh, I tried a M3 yet again and yes, very nice car, but not for me overall. Looks are always subjective aren't they. I don't necessarily think the 911 is that 'good looking'.....go figure. |

LOL....fair enough, maybe have one as a play thing rather than an everyday drive. Agree they do sound and look nice and some classy interiors........Italian flair.

Just went out for some gas and a quick hose-down.... Damn, 0-60 is exciting in 5 secs..... The power combined with the sound of the straight six @ 7000rpm..... That's what i love the most about my 335i....

For me, a lot of things coming from an old car:
Air con Sat nav Proper speakers [logic 7] Folding mirrors, helps down a lot of roads where i live Performance!!!! Tuning capabilitys Exhaust note Looks Comfort, even on 19" and RFT its like a bed compared to my other car A lot of fine grain settings on iDrive Sport seats Handling Alarm Remote central locking Changing the seat setup / steering wheel means my legs wont hit the wheel as much like my current |

Agreed
I have never ( except the VQ ) loved the note of a car's stock exhaust so much.. that.. and the sexy angel eyes.. doesnt hurt that every chick in the world talks about my car more than I do..

the steering - so accurate
handling - my 1st BMW and yes its brilliant to drive - don't know if its all down to being RWD but the way it goes around corners is just fantastic build quality - no rattles on mine anyway ! heater - for a diesel the heater is just brilliant - heats up quicker than any other diesel I have owned the 'rest' button on the heater - keeping the car warm when you have switched the engine off the dash - love the simple layout msport steering wheel - thought it was too thick at first but now love it 50 mpg - on a long run.... the looks - only an Alfa 159 Ti comes close |
