KoenG,

I guess I am in position to make a fair comment and comparison between 328 & 335.

I was one of the 20 lucky bastards got invited to a 3 series launch event for F30 in Canberra.

I have test ride (race) the following, 325, 328, 335, new M5 & 650 for a day.

In the real world condition, 328 is a perfectly good sport sedan. But once you get a hand on the 335 on the same road. The story changed!!!

335 give me a very close to M-experience. The way it drive, the way it handling abuse, the way it attack corners, all very very different.

328 accelerate like a 125. But 125 is more fun to drive based on the sharper handling.

Cheers,
Piero
