Nice article... they should really come up with a 335i that has a dual-clutch tranny & sophisticated AWD, it'd make up for a better comparo... then again, it's probably gonna bump up the price around $5K?

talking about perfect timing of that article. before i bought my MR Touring this past weekend, i was contemplating on getting an E90 335i, but thought better of it. i just came from a 535i lease so getting another N54 equipped car is kind of redundant, that's why i chose the Evo.

unlike the evo, xDrive can actually split tq from 100:0 to 0:100, with 40:60 being the norm. the problem with the 335xi is that they have crappy stock suspension (vs 335i) and no rear LSD. but otherwise, looking strictly at the AWD system, xDrive is a lot like the GT-R's ATTESA system and thus i'd say its better...
