335s are nice. Big difference in power and torque between the 335 and 328s. I had the pleasure of having a 2010 335XI and 2012 328XI for a week each. Smaller turbo'd engines is the new wave for BMW.

I ended up going with the 328 because of the price, an power difference with the new 4 cyl turbo compared to the n55 6 isn't there anymore. Not to mention the new 4 cyl with a tune will be making very good power, although i would like to keep the car stock as long as humanly possible. Chu, I'm assuming you drove a 328xi with the na 6cyl because the new 328 are not available in all wheel drive until September at the earliest. A lot of reviews were saying the trade off in power didn't make up for the difference of 100 plus lbs of weight in the nose for 335 compared to the 328. I will admit that it's not Evo, but at the same time it feels more balanced. I could feel how heavy the front end of the Evo was compared to this.

Racecar
Evo > 3 series (minus m3, I'm sure we could debate for hours)

Driving everyday
3 > Evo
