The 335i is the cheap man E92. If you want some really good info about the 335i call up Michael at ETS. He has one and is in the process of making a lot of aftermarket parts for the car and I hear a rumor of a single top mount 6262 going on his personal 335i As far as I know, he loves it! Tell him Mikey told you to bug him!

Come on man, it's the second most expensive e92 available

I do hear Mike has some crazy plans for the e92 market which should be awesome. They'll have a single turbo kit ready for production before anyone else on the market guaranteed. Even considering everyone else had a 1-2 year head start lol.

haha What that really meant was it is for guys that don't want a 328 but can't afford an M3.

I work for bmw. 335 is a fast fun luxury car,but deff has its high pressure fuel problems. You may get lucky and get a good one, but be prepaired for some high pressure fuel pumps,injectors and low lopressure sensors. But like people been saying two diff beast. I belieave you should go with a e90 4door m3 you wil deff like it.

i had a deposit on the e90 m3, but the 13-15mpg people were getting turned me off (that was also right as the economy collapsed so i pulled out). my evo was still faster then the m3 easily, and the m3 was a good 20k more then the 335, which is nearly as fast (modded it is as fast). the 335 got much better gas milease for a very similiar car. when the new turbo M3 comes out i'm signing up, until then the 335 will sufice

not gonna lie though, the seats in the m3 are heaven. power side bolsters, the man that came up with that deserves a raise

I really do like the E90 4doors. I had one try to race me on the interstate yesterday. I was sweat looking! needless to say it was not worth getting a ticket.

Sooo what you are really saying is you can't afford an M3? It's okay, I can't either. I mean I can, just wouldn't have enough money to do anything to it. They are so ****ing expensive to mod.

Nice. Did you see the top gear episode where they were racing a Toyota Prius around the track? The Prius had to keep it floored the entire 10 laps. All Jeremy had to do was stay on its *** with the E90 M3.
