Drove a Mazda3 for 7 years... raced it for a few years... just grew out of it so I picked up a 330i. Didn't want a 335i since I am not a huge fan for turbo cars and its gonna be my DD, no need for the extra power and I would wanna do too much mods to the 335 if I got one. I race an e36, I can't see myself owning another FWD again.

Drove the 335 and liked it but did not want the headaches associated with the turbo. Never really considered the 328 but then I drove one and completely loved the NA I6, the rest is history.

In short, eat a bag of D***'s.

Go look up the definition of dream. It's ok, I'll wait...

Just because you dream bigger than others doesn't make your comment about theirs any less lame.

It's one of the most well-rounded cars out there. I've had faster, more reliable, more practical, more fuel-efficient, more exotic, etc., but nothing matches the 335i at providing a good combination of all.

Owned nothing but Nissans and Infinitis for my whole life. Wanted to get back into a 6MT coupe and looked at some used E92 M3s - couldn't find an M3 with the right combo of options and 6MT. Then, I saw ssaylor's thread about his new 335is. I loved the 19" 313 rims on the "is". I was very impressed with the 370 lb/ft of torque in overboost mode when I test drove one and bought my 335is soon after.

Still wish I could've found a good used Interlagos Blue 6MT M3 though. Oh well.
