Then IMO you shouldnt be driving one, when i bought my 330 it wasnt for the speed, cuz frankly for what i paid i could've gotten a handful of other cars that were much faster. I bought the car cuz its a BMW it has BMW handling BMW engineering and ive loved BMWs since they day i was born and would never drive anything else. If you bought the 335 solely on the fact that it was TT then u bought the wrong car. Coulda saved a ton of money and got an STi

I also would have never purchased a BMW if not for the twin turbo's. My search was for another tuner, when I just happened to stop by BMW to see what was new...There was a new coupe on the floor and I jokingly said to my salesman, I love it, but won't buy one unless it is available in a Turbo....

the rest is history....

I didn't buy it solely because of TT. Handling, engineering and looks were factors as well. I had e39 M5 and did not want to downgrade in performance. My tuned 335i is faster by a margin. 335i has the performance & handling combo that my car has to have. So, without TT I would not have a BMW.

I might have taken my perfectly handling, gorgeous looking (in my eyes) classic to perform the daily driver duties if there were no 335i. 335i handling is exceptional, but its good to be open minded towards all the alternatives.

I appreciate Subaru and especially the "homologation special" GT versions that were Rally champions in the 90's. However, it's not my thing. I still have been considering Subaru and Mitsu Evo though. They are capable cars.

People tend to get biased based on their choices. Procede owners are almost "against" AA Xede or RD Black Box. KW suspension guys know for a fact that it is the best suspension without trying out all the other alternatives etc. Bmw owners "know" Bmw is the best handling car...

My car is a run of the mill Alpine white sedan...for the record.
