But given the lure of better mileage, more agile feel, lower cost, and lighter weight, the 4 pot is making more sense than ever for a new car. I love the sheer power of my car, but have to admit I almost never use it. And it's most likely that the coupe will already have the things I need like standard Xenons, sport suspension, etc. Looking good. Now for a preliminary test drive of the sedan and some serious financial planning.

The difference between a 328i A and a 335i 6MT in the US specs sheet is
50kgs(110lbs) , sure the 328 HAS TO BE a tiny bit more agile because of less weight in front. Fair enough. But tbh: I had a 335i N54 before the M3 V8. And the N54 weighs seriously less than a M3 V8(despite the markeing bs they tell you, just like Joey Hand is telling you what YOU want to hear
) , but a M3 V8 still felt 'sharp' also due to it's M chassis layout etc.
On the other hand, tried a 1//M and the E90 M3 felt like a boat.(N54 ftw LOL
)
We don't want to have much weight up front, but we also want power and a good sound, don't we?
(BMW is trying to get their weightbalance 50/50, better take a look at Corvette or the Ferrari 599 for that matter....)
