Any comment would be appreciated. Signing parsers this week, but not sure on which one. Also the steering on both cars wasn't what I expected.  |

What speed are you guys trying to get the car up to? From what I understand, the N20/N26 is an under-rated engine and is probably making 270-280 crank HP. Most reviews have said the powertrain is quite nice and accelerates the car much faster than they expected.
Also, if you're considering the 335xi are you also considering the Audi S4?
