I've driven many 328's and there is a bit more litheness to the front end.
It ain't no night and day as some seem to claim.

Where do I pump my chest?
I don't do that, and I don't see 99% of 335i owners doing so either.
Perhaps like the MPG claim, that claim is also exaggerated.

Now, on to "lighter" weight.
The unladen difference is like 110lbs.
Curb weight difference is even less at around 89lbs.
89lbs! That's less than most girlfriends.
Oh no! I let my girlfriend in the passenger side and now my handling is so way off, kinda like driving a 335i!!!

As for MPG, until we have real numbers that assertion will be questioned by me.
Since you've read some of my posts you'll also know that I have never said that the 328i doesn't have better mpg over the 335i.
I question how much the difference is, considering how much emphasis 328i owners put on it.
Is a 1-2mpg difference a big deal to anyone buying a sport sedan?
By the comments made one would thing the difference is like better than 5-6mpg.
Prove it. It's a reasonable request.

I always see people posting the magical on and at highway speed 38mpg!.
Yeah, you probably do see it there.
BUT, what is your overall MPG measured by the tired and true method.

There is easily more difference in MPG between 328i cars than there is actual difference between a 328i and 335i equally driven.
I presented good mpg info. Its real world all be it not 100% scientific.
