My first car was a 1987 325is. I loved that damn car. I blew the tranny on it and sold it to a junk yard for cheap. Biggest car mistake I've ever made

I wish, but I'm tired of $1000+ per month car payments and high insurance. Maybe when the E90 M3 sedans come down in price in a few years I'll pick up a used one.

Your EVO is a POS. Not mine. I've yet to have any problems after 6 months. Which is more than I can say about my BMW when I first purchased it. What issues did you have? When you say something that strong its good to back it up with actual info.

I'm with you on the bigger fuel tank. What was Mitsu Thinking?

I've had both a 335i and Evo X. The Evo is a better racecar. The 335i is a better daily driver and its interior is infinitely superior.

I understand....

By the way to the person who said there bmw had problems my m3 didn't have one issue for the 3 years that I had it. I could honestly say if I had more money I would still have my m3 and this evo....sigh....

It seems like you may have more money than you know what to do with my friend... which isn't a bad thing if you have it and you can spend it then by all means go for it. I would have done a bit more research the mileage and such that you have complained about with the Evo before buying it, but some people aren't as research oriented as I am... i'm like that to a fault though.. do it with something that costs 5.00.. I always check everything that I can about a product before I buy it and if it is what is best for me. Of course I just did get laid off (didn't see that one coming) and wish I now had a lower car payment... or that I could at least get out of mine what's owed on it... if interest rates weren't so low I might be able to and buy a WRX premium... it's not the car the Evo is, but it's quick, similar kind of, gets better mileage and might help to ease the pain of losing the Evo... I just can't see going to an RA... it's sort of a gay looking car.

When I was replacing my 740i Sport, I looked at 335i. I thought its interior was kinda cheap and the drive was nervous. I was not impressed.

Then I test drove a MR. It was so much fun that I forgot about its interior.

I don't think it's a lack of research on his end. I'm sure he was well aware and opted to try and live with the issues he mentioned. In the end things change and this is an example.

Going from an sti to a 135, you will love the speed but hate how small it is. The 135 is literally like a matchbox inside but fast as hell! Faster then the evo and sti's even if their modded. The MR is nice if you don't want the short gears of the five speed gsr and the gsr evo x is nice if you still want a fast car like the sti. I'd say evo for handling and spaciousness and 135 for sheer power and better gearing. You see what I chose, I was going to get a 335 but test drove my gsr and didn't need to look any further. Dont forget if you get a gsr you WILL need a clutch, 135 you won't.

I don't know and I really like both cars, I guess if the BMW came down just a bit in price. The funny thing is when I drive my STi everything is alright...it's when I'm sitting around thinking about newer cars that I get the bug! LOL! I love cars with power and handling.

I knew what I was getting into and like I said, I loved the car and don't regret the decision to buy it one bit. My priorities have shifted slightly and the 335 is the better car for the kind of driving I do.

How did you like your M3 because I have recently sold my Evo and am looking to get either an E46 330 ZHP or M3. Did you have the constant problems that everyone says E46's come with?
