Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

Well, so it sounds like no one really dislikes the BMW as a car idea. Meaning no one things its a terrible idea to buy one.

So at this point, I am going to get the evo driving and maybe try to find some time to test drive a 135i.

A lot of people seem to say the 335i's are the way to go, but I don't really want 4 doors as its not a daily and any weight savings are good in my eyes. HOwever, I have read reviews saying even the though 335 is heavier that the chassis balance is better and handling is "better" because of it.

But anyway, first thing first, get evo back and see how I feel before I make rash decisions.

I just wanted to get a feeler on people that have drove both the BMW's and evo's and if its something I would regret moving to from a performance perspective.

They make a 335i coupe, it is now the 435. The 335 is better balanced and you are not going to notice less than a 200 lbs difference with all the torx it has. Not to mention the rear end of the 135 just looks goofy because it is so short.
