On the other hand the 135 has a LSD which the 335 should of had . The 135 is an expensive car for what it has to offer. BMW tried to turn it into a modern 2002 ti but it is far from it.As for Edmunds article I will have to disagree with him, because bimmers are never boring to drive.

Just for the record: Erin = female. Aaron = male. Also, anybody see that article photograph of them pouring the oil improperly? One side is sloped like that to pour with that side downward in order to avoid a premature surprise flood of oil. I don't know if I can hold their opinion in high regard seeing such a basic task performed improperly. Erin Riches is a female, and she might take offense to being called a guy.

Drove it and the 335 coupe....world of difference. For those who want the sprint "point and shoot" pocket rocket the 135 is the way to go....for those wanting refinement with a tick or two slower speed, then the 335 is hands down the winner in my book. Different strokes for different folks. Individual preferences will win the day on this front. I'm in love with the 335 coupe, best car I've ever driven, grin factors extreme and ultimate driving machine. The fantastic part is that I know what the car can do, don't have to prove it, when I want to drive it at 9/10ths can, but not the purpose of buying it. Some want to hot rod / others want to know capabilities and use it when it's needed and appropriate. Thanks for taking the other side in providing your viewpoint.
