He's right. Much of the BMW range has refinement levels such that the car robs you of the sensation of speed. This can be frustrating when you are pushing on and it can also catch you out when you are overtaking only to find you've inadvertently shattered the speed limit.

I understand this, but I have not found this to be the case in the 335i.

I agree with you that you will have shattered the speedlimit in a couple of blinks (or none at all, I hope), but if you actually do (to quote who I replied to) "thrash the bits off of it" and "go at silly speeds", it comes alive, and boy do you notice it.

Or maybe that is just me.

Because "you" recommended it to your dad, it's pretty obvious given your activities on here in the past and cars.

Very nice that. Got any interior shots?

Tom|Nbk · 9 Jan 2009 at 15:55

That looks a nice car, Not sure about the interior colour though but exterior is Gorgeous & I don't often say that about BM's.

Not a 3 Series fan but my god, that is absolutely lovely.

That looks so much better than any E92 I've ever seen for some reason....

It is a completely standard E92 SE so I don't really understand why, wheels perhaps?

Put whatcar down, I did many years ago and lost my detailed knowledge of every car out there

Not a fan of this shape, but that looks lovely, stunning in fact. Definately growing on me, now where were those M3 pictures

I know it is. It might be the wheels but the front end seems to look nicer than normal...
