- 335 ----> M3 - Insight Needed

[sparkyg]

The overall package of the M3 is superior to the 335.

I am from a 335xi with Stg III Dinan, was a monster to drive but handled terrible and it always needed more to fix problems the car should never have.

The M3 is perfect out of the box. You just drive it and love it.

GL, 335 is a great car, needs a lot of help to make it what the M3 is all around.

I don't get this post.. Just drive a few different modes and make your decision. If you can drive get and M3 if not go for the 335.

U drove the M and "liked" it? LIKED IT????

(a) you didn't drive it hard enough
(b) you drove it "right" after you drove a GT3, or 911 Turbo.

If neither of those are tru, there's something I'm missing. Coming out of a 335i, this "should have" felt like the greatest car you've ever driven!!!

I have a 2007 335 and I think it handles like shit, the ride sucks...and the boost is annoying. I drove the M3 and I like it...it handles better, rides better and the engine sounds nice...although the exhaust and engine note are much more visceral on the M5.

So my question.....buy the 2009 335 (Gets rid of the chrome around the windows) drop coilovers and software into it...or bite the bullet for the M. I used to have a 95 M and loved it....I probably won't be doing any track days...

Thanks in advance,

definitely get the M. the M is more value than coilovers + sways + software + other shits you can buy for the 335.
