335i to 135i any point?

Has the term genuinely sporty been used in this thread? Perhaps a comparison to an RX8? These are important things when discussing BMW "sport" models.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's when people post as if their opinion is fact that it gets amusing.

Pray continue.

If you want something non boring, why not try a different brand?

I heard Audis aren't generally sporty.

how is fun not proportional to enjoyment? It has to be one factor of it. Just changing a car for fun alone is not going to cover the whole enjoyment umbrella. Is all i'm saying. For me, going from a 335i to a 135i would just be a backwards step, and I genuinely don't think anyone could argue differently, but that's just me

[TW]Fox · 21 Sep 2011 at 23:28

Overall it might be but it depends what you are looking at doesn't it?

I gain more enjoyment from owning a 530i than I did from a 335i. But the 335i was obviously 'more fun to drive'. Ownership experience and fun to drive are two different things.

A 135i is more fun to drive than a 335i. It's smaller, its a bit more chuckable, its more fun to throw around a B road. That doesnt mean its a better car, or that the ownership experience is better, it just means... its more fun to drive?

Django x2 · 21 Sep 2011 at 23:34

Yeah, agreed, I just wouldn't go from a 335 to a 135 if I wanted fun, I'd keep the 335i and get an Elise or similar (or as others have said, chop it in for a Porsche)

Not everyone wants to own 2 cars.

Can you think of anything that is comfortable, ok is for a long motorway run, has plenty of toys, over 300 BHP, not too big, cheap ish to run and cost under 20k?

I don't want to run a 3rd car as I have a old ford and the BMW. The only other car I can think of is a TTs with a Remap however thats going to be well over 20k and the point is to save until I can afford a real upgrade in a year or 2.

Golf GTI mk5 ed30 with a remap?

Really?

You honestly fail to see why someone fails to get excited by a big, heavy, automatic 335i or why they might think a smaller, perhaps more nimble 135i Coupe manual might be more fun?

LOLWUT, this view point might be acceptable to some but is really beyond a joke for any real car enthusiast.

The very thought of me stepping anywhere near a 3 series (bar an M3) instills fear in me because of the lesser quality than say the 5 series.

This quote is brilliant. You remind me of a less funny Frasier Crane.

True, if they were all in relation to comments I had made, which, they aren't. Maybe if i was still 18, I would find a 135i more fun than a 335i or a 535i, but unfortunately I don't. That's just me. Literally the only thing that floats my boat in that category these days is a ThunderKart
