Ep41382

anyone else driven one yet? Drove my first one yesterday.. and I was damn impressed. Definitely lives up to the hype. I've heard that its actually faster then what BMW was originally saying. Literally no turbo lag at all. All in all....I want one.

sign me up too. low 13's stock. i heard the same, quicker than they claim!

I dunno if the M3 will be better by enough. A small amount of tuning will have it at the M3's 414hp rating in no time, plus more torque. I would love a 335i sedan.

Id like one as a daily, saw a new drop top 3 series, looked great with the top up and down

if i were to buy a new car right now, the 335i is the ticket

There are two guys here at the base that have 335XI's... I want to drive one bad!

They're sexy. If I wasn't stuck in perpetual college I'd have already purchased a 335i and fitted one or another of the piggyback magic tuning boxes for a torque-y mid-12's luxo-sport sedan.

Yah i recently got a 07 g35 and upon seeing the 335 i promptly kicked myself in the ass. gg foot wins

It wont. There are so many nutswingers who havent even been in an M car that loved the E46 M3 and the CSL M3 so much...granted I can see why, but that car is definetly overhyped. Everyone now freaks out over the new E92 M3....but guess what, torque is where it matters on the street, this new V8 engine may be lighter, but thats because the old one was a 3.2 iron block bored out as much as you can get it that remained the same pretty much since 95 or so...badass engine that I'm glad is still around and hasnt changed (the only BMW engine around that isnt aluminum/magnesium anymore)

But this new V8 is flat out stupid. Its rated at 295 ft lbs....RATED at 295, whereas the 335i already bone STOCK has consistently cranked out 300 ft lbs at the wheels!! IMO BMW had to detune the crap out of this engine because they realized how good it was...much better than the M3 after all. In fact, if you put the variable lock M diff in the 335i, theres no reason at all outside of asthetics to even get an M3...especially with the freakin 135i coming out which will be faster!
