Yes - it feels like i've got three extra 12 stone passengers on board all the time!
Strange why a 335i weighs 50kg more than its equivalent 330i model? I'm sure 2 turbos and a bit of hose & intercooler don't weight that much!

Different engine block also - the 335i block is based on the previous E46 330i bottom end which is stronger than the lightweight alumnium block used in the current E9x 330i. Plus intercooler, oil cooler, larger water pump, hydraulic steering rack as opposed to electric, larger brakes... adds up quickly!
