From EVO X to 335i

After 4 and some years with the EVO X, decided to move on to something else. Initially was looking into a used 4-door M3, but relatively low-mileage ones were practically non-existant. Looked also at used C63 and S4, but finally found a great deal on a new 2012 335i Sport (Grey, 8-speed auto with 15km!).

I still can't push the car yet (Break-in period), but I'm very happy with the purchase. Compared to the EVO:

+ Very comfortable
+ Low end power
+ Gaz mileage is great, relatively speaking
+ Made for grown-ups

- Steering: feels numb compared to the EVO
- Less agile: EVO was way more tossable
- Seats: don't hold you as much

Agree, front plates have no place on those round bumpers!

once you have done tons of mods, I am sure you will take back some of the negative concerns you have.

For the near future it's staying stock, save some bigger tires mabye (245/40R18). 225 look somewhat skinny .

Thanks mrbob. It's the 8-speed AT, my first "Auto" box. Had a 06 STi back in the days and a 08 Evo X just before, both Manual of course.

How's that M-Package treating you? can you post some pics? I was gonna get that too, but the deal I got on my car (New 2012) was too good to pass on and pay that much more to get a 2013 with the M-package, plus my car has the 704 M-suspension. Would love to have those 400M wheels on my car though .

Congrats on the new car!

I just made the same switch. Coming from a 2008 Evo X and just placed an order for a 2014 335i.

I ordered a set of 400M from Ilia@iND for $400 each. Dealer wanted over $600 at Calgary BMW.

Car looks great btw. Congrats.
