The new BMW 335i

[Mike]

What do you all think of it?

300 HP, twin turbo... just a shade slower as the current M3. I'm thinking of picking one up in a couple of months

[SLP Firehawk]

blah, what happened to the NA screamers... now its more of a softened cruiser than a "pure" sports car with the turbos (which means reduced redline and more low end torque than high end power), air suspension shit and the uber computer interior, styling aint to great either

id say buy a used E46 M3 and use the spare cash to modify it unless its only purpose would be crusing the streets

[Mike]

ewll, for the lag issue.. the twin turbos help alleviate that. one works for low end and one for high RPM, so there is no turbo lag.

i've looked for older e46 M3's, but getting one with low mileage and in decent condition is about the same cost as a new 335

E60 (?) M5?

I don't mind the new 3, it looks like a nice Luxury Sedan to me.
