Does anyone know if the Top Gear English television show ever did a segment on the 335? I know they did the M3. Thanks

[RRGOO7]

[KanosWRX]

They did one with the computer operated 335, Thats it though.

it's a 330 not 335

no, but i'm pretty positive 5th gear did one on the 335i. but 5th gear isn't as good as top gear lol.

[BoostedBMW]

Yeah, 5th gear definitely did one against an S5 I think. I could have swarn seeing a top gear episode though where the guy with the long hair was saying that the 335 drove great, but the look of it was boring according to him. This was back in the day, way before I ever got my car. Maybe it was a different show, but I thought it was top gear.

top gear did the new M3 vs the RS4 and C63 AMG

[Kobaiyashi]

I've been lurking on this board forever and, finally, can contribute some knowledge

Top gear has never reviewed the 335, but Clarkson has reviewed it. He loved the engine, not the styling. (http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol...cle1264971.ece)

Fifth gear has driven the 335 twice. The first time was a straight out review where the presenter commented that one might be better off buying a Chrystler 300c! (http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=901&id=116)

The second time was in a time trial against the Audi S5 which the 335 won by 600ths of a second in "a triumph of handling over power." You can download the torrent here -- http://www.mininova.org/tor/870055 (via www.finalgear.com)

Hope that helps!

This is the video that I remember seeing. For whatever reason I thought it was the guy with the long hair from top gear. I guess 5th gear has a guy with long hair too. I thought that his review was kind of retarded in any case.

[e92OMG]

I remember seeing one where he put the 335 e92 outside and no one looked at it and said how boring it looked and stuff like that. then he took a dog and asked peaple wich would they prefer just on looks the dog or car. dunno it was a while back but i tried looking for it couldnt find it maybe im thinking of a diffrent car >.<

[Kobaiyashi]

I know the episode you're talking about and close to certain that was a different car.

According to Wiki, in Episode 3 of Season 6, Top gear reviewed the Aston Martin DB9 Volante and Richard Hammond proved that more people would like a Labrador puppy instead.

I think I watch way too much Top Gear.

[smellthebeans]

No top gear review of the 335

Interesting to note Mr. Clarkson gave the 135 5 out of 5 stars.

[e92OMG]

"But it’s the engine that impresses most of all. It has one small turbo to spin up the instant you apply the power, and then a bigger one that trundles into life later to keep the power coming . . . in bigger and bigger lumps. This, and there’s no other way of saying it, is a great engine. A masterpiece. It doesn’t zing like the BMW straight-sixes of old but there’s so much muscle you don’t notice."

I guess clarkson doesn't know how the n54 works...lol

I saw this episode, worth watching. They ghosted one car over the other like a car sim game does. Good stuff.

[endy]
