Yeah i was being sarcastic. I love both motors but I like how the n54 has a fully weighted crank.

I searched for e91 335i on Google, I contemplated catching a flight to Germany and exporting one here after seeing how nice some of those cars look. I wish lol

Good news! The argument on your end for a clean e91 6MT is that you'd be able to fit the wife and family in it comfortably!

Why would I think you'd want that!? I know you wanted a 335i e91, that's why I had my buddy donate his 325i to Purple Heart so we could get the tax break, and afford plane tickets to the homeland!

I'm actually on the hunch that most of us are mocking the argument more than actually arguing what's the better car.

This isn't exclusive to BMW. I've seen it happen on the Subaru forums regarding WRX vs. STI discussions, especially now with the 2015 WRX getting an updated powertrain while the 2015 STI is still using the tired, old, explosive EJ257

If you really don't want any respect from most but a select few on this board, drive an E91.

Or a 335d.

I'm sure the Civic forums have Civic vs Civic SI pissing contests too. Don't think this happens on the Lexus forum though because only vaginas drive the IS250.

I always wondered about this. Do IS250 drivers think their cars are better than IS350 because they're slower and slower is more "fun"? V6 mustang > 5.0? A4 > S4? C250 > C350? Etc. I doubt it. I think BMW is the only brand like that. People pay 30k-40k+ for cars that are slower than Altimas but their big egos keep them in denial, constantly justifying/defending their decision. I guess I would be bitter too though.

I'm paraphrasing, but James May said on one Top Gear episode that slower cars are more fun because you are at their limit more often and can (technically) do it on public streets. Meanwhile your 13290483120984whp monster is limited to 60-65mph. Technically.

I think the issue at hand is the superiority complex that some owners get.

Edit: This thread got serious again, quick someone link some WWE .gif

So you cite a random person's opinion as absolute proof? If that holds true then basically the 328 is more fun to drive than an M3, M4, M5, or M6. With that reasoning, a prius must be one of the most "fun" cars on the road

The only complex I feel is a torque complex when I hit the accelerator and my car pulls like a bat out of hell. I guess that's something you'll never understand. Sad because I liked x28s before I joined this forum. Now after seeing some of their smug comments I have lost all respect.

1. James May is anything but a "random person". Yes, a 328 can be more fun than an M3, M4, M5 or M6 because those cars shine on the track and can be incredibly boring on the road. What's the point of your 400hp V8 if you can't use it?

2. I've owned a 335d and now have an STI (same 300hp/300tq stock numbers as your 335i). I had more torque at the wheels stock on my D than some 335i's have modded. Please don't tell me what I do and don't understand

3. The only smuggness being shown right now is coming from you. For the most part the responses here were tongue in cheeck from both x28 and x35 owners casually jostling each other (and other manufacturer owners)

So what if you have a 328i? I personally don't care if 335i people bother me. My 328i was a good price and what was available to me. Thick skin will get you far in life, my friend.

Wow, so you have a fast BMW and feel the need to defend yourself by calling 328i drivers bitter and in denial.

Do you really think I wanted my BMW for speed? Do you really think I regret my decision? Absolutely not, and I’m not in denial. If I was going for speed, I would not have bought my 328i. I could care a less if a Nissan, or Ford is faster than me.

You're right; no one on this forum can help your ignorance and bitterness regarding them having fun with a "slower" car.

Very off topic, but I like how often change the color of the car in your Sig. From chrome purple to red to green.
