A 335is is way more expensive to buy and incredibly expensive to maintain.

got a lot of power and RWD. Definitely not the safest thing to learn how to drive on.

There are so many other awesome cars out there which I'm sure you'll end up loving..

What is it about the 335is you like so much?
Would you recommend him getting an older 328i? or what would you think another awesome car would be. I agree that maybe it would be best to get something cheaper or more reliable. Insurance also is a huge thing to think about.
328? Yeah I guess. I was thinking along the lines of something more reliable, safer (maybe AWD), and newer...you know, that doesn't piss oil from every gasket or need new injectors or turbo's in another 45k. I can handle it all now after owning this platform for over 10 years, but many cannot.
