I love the car. Instant torque. So refined and smooth.

But, that's also why I hate it. The M3 loves to be revved. It's raw and passionate. It's aggressive and rewarding.

For daily driving, yada yada, the 335i is the better car. Comfort Access key, newest NAV, newest styling, longer warranty, tuner-friendly, etc... Awesome.
But, designed for the masses.
I live in Vancouver, BC. Perhaps one of the most affluent cities in the world in regards to cars you see on the street. I see about 10 335is per day, and maybe 2 E46Ms.

The M3 is outdated, I wont lie. But starting the S54 up still sends tingles down my spine. Winding it to 8K still gives me a raging boner.

I went to Bimmerfast in May for the first time. Drove down from SF to SB in an 06 AW/IR M3 coupe. I've been in them a LOT, but this was my most recent road trip. Back to back with 335is on the trip... It was close, I wont lie. Especially with direct injection and the gas mileage in the 335i.

But f*ck it. I'm an M3 fan boy that couldn't afford one when they were new.

You can't go wrong.
