I'd rather my car wasn't confused with smaller engine versions, so I'm going to order a gloss black 335i badge soon to match the exterior colour. Atleast that way it will be badged but not too obvious.

Don't really care if they can't tell with the pipes. They'll know when you scream by at 6k rpm

Girls with a good brains to boobs ratio will surely know my ones better because of the higher number on the rear. Doubt they'll understand the revs.

I find some comments abit snobby IMO

End of the day what is wrong with a 318? If that's what the person wanted or all they can afford

I'm only 21 and I'm driving a 320d and I'm proud of it as its bought with my hard earned cash while struggling through uni paying fees etc, i don't ever intend to have a car out on finance or take a loan for any car as I think it's not a route I would like to go down,as IMO you don't own the car, people may say they do but if they miss couple of payments for any reason the finance company won't be long In lifting "there" car from them

Just being honest as personally i wouldn't have bought a 318 as I wanted a 320 but there is nothing wrong with owning one

No snobbiness intended. I consider myself lucky to have ordered a 335. If I could have got a 320d or 330d in Canada, it would have been a different story. Fact is, all we have is 323i, 328i, 335i, and 335d. To get what I wanted, the 335i was the best value (included all msport options).

As for the original reason for this thread, my personal opinion is that a de-badged 3 series looks cleaner regardless of engine size.

Wouldn't say that now, it's a BMW car forum and he is looking advice on what site members would generally do, that's the joy of a Internet car forum can ask any car related question
