EDIT: Let me just add that my post in no way implies that the M3 is not superior. Rather, my driving skill is what lacks. I guess the point of my post is really just the surprise at myself for not being up to it. |
First off I think you should stick to the 335i. You say that your post doesn't imply that the M3 is not superiour and you are right. You outright say it, NOT imply it, when you make statements like; it feels "
heavy", "
not as nimble" and the fact that you were oh so unimpressed with the exceleration....THOSE ARE ALL NEGATIVE COMMENTS about the M3! Let me rephrase what you should be saying... The steering feels heavier and more conected to the road, unlike the numb/wet noodle feeling of other cars. This translates into a much more direct/nimle steering feel. The excelleration pulls strong and so smooth from 3000-8200 that it almost feels uneventful because of the lack of drama & huge power the V8 delivers effortlessly. This car is fast.(PERIOD!)
