We're talking about a variant that is different to the 328i in pretty much only engine size and power.
Chassis is the same, suspension the same, steering system the same, tested AT the same.
The biggest variable is the engine, followed by about 110lbs more for the 335i when equally equipped, not enough to dramatically alter the cars performance. The 335i has bigger brakes, but that doesn't appear to make a big difference.
This is not good for BMW all around.
It's not about being a 328i or 335i, it's about the F30's all around softness in comparison to the new competitors and what they've come to battle with.
But then, BMW sales of the F30 have been excellent, and that doesn't make BMW really need to scramble to fix the F30.
I'm sure, or I hope, the face lifted version will have the biggest improvement changes.
