Her cars are always driven year round.We looked at both the Audi S5 & Mercedes E550 Cab but the issue is that they are both soft tops which is a no go because her car is outside all winter.The M stays in the garage along with all the track wheels and my bike,so no room for her car!

I am not really a fan of the Boxster,because the 911 is not really that much more money and so much more car.Besides most of the people that I see driving 911 cabs are good looking women

Here's an article from BMWBlog discussing this very same thing. - http://www.bmwblog.com/2010/01/25/in...335is-dilemma/
"The M3 has an LSD and a naturally aspirated engine and may be better suited for track days than touring, while the fat, flat torque curve of the 335is is ideal for mountain roads and two lane highways. I imagine it all gets down to what you want to use it for." So basically, the 335is is a more awesome daily driver. Great.

However, at the end of the day, I still prefer the intoxicating sound of the M3. (I went through 335xi's already.)

I actually been driving my buddies 335i E92
and honestly I don't feel it comes anywhere close to my M3. The M3 has a way better chassis and overall performance is balanced. Yes the 335i with some simple mods can be really fast but at the end of the day. My M3 will shine like never before

335is is a very nice car. I would get the 335is if I didn't have enough money for an M3. Which is prob exactly what BMW wanted. For a FR coupe around the 45k to 75k price range, bmw has capture this segment imo.

I agree completely. Never understood the M3 cab, especially when it comes to the 335 vs. M3 cab. See below. Quote:

That's very true. I own both and feel the 335 is better for daily driving from an engine point... except when it's wet outside. Then the 335 is constantly spinning the tires with all it's torque down low.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I find the attitude that the only reason that someone buys a 335 instead of an M3 (or for that matter a 328 instead of a 335) is because they can't afford one amusing. The only people who would make such a statement are people who can barely afford an M3 or people who can't afford an M3 and bought one anyway and are one payment away from having it repossesed. CA

1. Def. don't feel bad. I'd still take the M hands down. Unless I'm missing something, this is *just* a factory tuned 335i. I'm sure its great, but I don't see any reason why this model in particular should cause someone who wants/has the M3 to think twice.
Put differently, if you're thinking twice because this car has led angels, you're in a different demographic. 2. My god that AutoSpies video was horrible.
