Just torque numbers don't matter either. It's the low end torque in the 335i that makes it a better daily driver. Like I said it's my opinion, you don't have to like it.

Don't get the M3. It will make you do stupid things like need to go to an exotic as your next car to improve on what the M3 offers. And then you'll start test driving Ferraris, Lambo's etc.
Stick with the 335.

My sentiments exactly. Loved both cars and would recommend them both. Just not for the same purpose. In the OP's case I would still recommend the 335i, not because it is a better car, but because may better suit his needs, budget and lifestyle (from what little information provided here). |

All I hear is 335i is a better daily driver. This is my dd routine, first highway with other 1000s of cars (70KM to 100KM) then streets driving (5- 40 KM/h). Not sure I can use the low end torque in any car. Maybe I need to move

If you're seeing 10-15 accidents on a single event, I'd think about running with another organizer because clearly either the instructors aren't doing a great job and/or students are being promoted into faster groups too quickly. I MIGHT see one or two semi-serious incidents in an entire weekend, but many weekends go off without a hitch. There was one weekend (ironically my first time at the track) where there were I think 7 incidents that resulted in cars being undrivable (but not all totaled), but I received confirmation from the organizer and other veteran participants that this was hugely uncommon, and it apparently prompted a looong instructor meeting the morning of Day 2 of that event. Anyway, I'm glad you apparently track at least occasionally. Out of curiosity though, what different engine characteristics did you note between a 335i and a 335xi?

Like moth to fire. I think there is at least 10 or so threads on this same topic. Each one has the same outcome

Once you get m3, you will mod it eventually, if not its still superior to 335i
just get m3, do it right from the start also, lot of people comment how 335i is better DD but I dont see a problem with M3 in DD. When I drove 6spd e92 M3, I did not feel any underpower or lacking of low tq compared to 335. Obviously mpg will be different from your 328 lol |

The M3 is more FUN to drive in all conditions, all roads, anytime, anywhere....THAT is what makes the M3 a better "Daily Driver" (whatever the hell that phrase means).

I literally came to the M3 forum to do that.
But don't worry they're having the monthly 328i vs 335i debate right now as well... Just buy the M3 OP is that even a question?
