I'm more old school - love the e30 m3 - those rear fender flares look so great. The e36/8 Mcoupe isn't to bad either.

theyre having oil cooking problems with the 335's twin turbo motor at the moment, after a hot lap the oil temps get dangerously high, i see a recall coming, or the addition of another oil cooler.



id never buy a car with the company's first turbo motor, especially a complicated twin turbo setup.

i'd take the 120d 5 door hatch first. The 130i coupe looks better, but you get almost the same package with a lot more efficiency, comparable torque, and more space. I already have one impractical car, thats why im on these boards
