Nice article.

Seems that the 335i may be more than I had expected. Might actually be worth taking on out on a test drive.

BMW usually understates a few of their cars. Heck, the E90 325i 6MT was capable of a 0-60 time of 6.1 seconds while BMW rated it as having a high six/low seven second 0-60 time.

Fuckin ridiculous that the 335i beat out the E46 M3 SMG on their track... But that just doesnt seem right...

Now all they need to do is give an option for a LSD..
