Like I said from the beginning. This thread is kind of lame and childish. I haven't had anyone ask me to guess anything since I was in 5th grade. LAME

Does the 335x run a staggered set-up? I'm guessing those 335i ZSP wheels are staggered or maybe 4 fronts/rears?

Yes it is staggered with the ZSP summer rubber 18's from the factory.. This is one awd vehicle that can run a staggered set up w/o issue. The zsp wheels pictured are only temporary. I will look into some aftermarket wheels. BBS perhaps??

Thanks.. You were right on from the begining ha haa..

The steering response & feel in this car is no different than that of the 2wd 335. It is firm and you feel like one with the car. The x-drive is a hair quicker of the line than the 2wd 335. In addition, AWD will definetly give me an advantage in the wet & winter conditions.. This vid below depicts some of the capabilities of this car... Bring on the white stuff!

The GS is still in the garage for those who were wondering.. The car is driven during the weekends locally.. Perhaps I should dump it & get something else?

I have wheel plans for this car along with other goodies..
differently driven, but not that different though. staying higher rev on the m3 doesn't really affect much, around 4000rpm and the power is getting there already, and the engine doesn't start "screaming" until like around 6000rpm

13mpg on the m3? where did that come from? the car is rated 14/20 and i avg around 16 to 17mpg. for sure though, the 335 is better, but i wouldn't day it's dramatic?

well, just my 2 cents. i drive a m3 so i don't want to be called biased. i too thought about 335 for a while

Congrats on the new 3.

I would keep the GS and get something else if u need to. I will prob pick up a 2GS down the line just bec it has sentimental value for me and i still think its hard to beat when its modded.

Wish i had more than 1 car garage lol.
