I am not sure if this is a repost, but I had to put this on the forum. I have a ton of respect for these guys. Even though I dont agree with his taste in beauty, Paul and the other journalists at Top Gear are known to be blatantly truthful and very very knowledgeable.

That's an ancient article from the days of the launch of the 335i E92 in the UK.

One thing I found interesting about the UK reviews of the E92 -- almost all of the press cars were equipped with 17" wheels because BMW didn't want flak for the lousy ride with 18s and 19s. It's a shame that the car is designed so it looks better with larger wheels, since the handling / ride balance is likely just about perfect with 17s.

I hate that guy so, so much. The way he says "featherDOOSTERS" annoys me hehe. His review is also a little wishy washy.
