The only real competitor for 335 out there is S4 and it's a very good car IMO. Even an E90 M3 would have a hard time competing with it in certain categories. At the end of the day, it's a matter of personal preference and you can't go wrong with either one. As far as 328 vs 335 goes, I agree with you that with F30 platform the gap between the two is much smaller. Both are great cars. Now the only problem that I have with F30 is how UGLY non-msport front-end is. If there was no msport line, I would have probably skipped BMW and went straight to Audi.

Let me know when you shell out that $4-6k for a blower for your VQ!

The magazine conspiracy is a bit contrived. Many who claim that are the people who would watch BMW always win. The S4 is a good challenger, but I have also seen the ATS 3.6 chosen over the 335 too. I also agree with you on the M-Sport. When I saw it in EB2 all of my hold offs on the F30 disappeared. You seem bored today. Why not make yourself a pudding?

But again 4 pages of talk yet not one video! I guess time will tell when a video is posted than people can stop arguing and either see that the 335i puts a couple bus lengths or maybe the 335 only puts a half a car length. Then we will have some real data! |

335 is overrated and I own one. Believe it or not my E60 feels quicker.

I would love to see a rolling race from 40 to 140 of a 335, 328 and e90 m3 to really see the spread of power among the three cars given the 3 different pricing schemes. |

Its not that both are not great cars but the world is filled with car comparo's and we all read, watch and love them. Who honestly would not love to watch a well made rolling race between the two cars? Why is that a bad thing?

I really don't want to get involved in this, but I just found this streetspecs site and thought it was cool
here's the 335 vs the 328 http://www.streetspecs.com/specs/com..._341748_434291 |

Don't understand why people like to compare with 328i and 335i. People have different tastes. I llike the deep tone of 335i exhaust sound, and my friend likes the gas mileage on the 328i. We never compare with which car is better and faster cuz we know we didn't buy our car for this reason! There is a reason why BMW experts putting two models for F30 in the market instead of one~~

Edit: Everything in this post is wrong! It looks like the site I mention below has gotten the weight of the European 328i wrong.
Just out of curiosity I compared the the European and the NA 328s and 335s. Apparently the F30 in the US are considerably heavier than the ones we have here in Europe. For the 328i, the difference is 140 kg (300 lbs). I could make some crack about this being the weight difference of the European and the American driver, but the listed weight was without the driver. Automobile-catalog.com simulates various performance date based on the cars' specs. I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems that the European 328i might be very close to the NA 335i in performance. The simulated figures for 0-60 mph for these two cars are 5.2 and 5.1 second respectively. For 0-100 mph, the difference is starting to show a bit with 13.8 and 13.2 seconds. I can't link directly to the comparison, but if anyone wants a look, they can click here to get to the F30 page. Scroll down to the cars you want to look at, and click "Compare: add above car to comparison" Last edited by Bradbury; 02-15-2013 at 06:01 PM.. |

For instance, the base 335 in Europe can be had with a cloth interior, cloth is not an option in the US - I would assume standard features on the base car make up the weight difference Also, in the US, all 335's come with a sunroof as standard and Xenon adaptive headlights, etc where the 328's do not - that affects the weight difference between the models as well
