plus a 370 awhp 335i will throw down on an STI, or WRX, or even stock turbo evo pretty easily... Not looking to go hunt down hell cats or GT500's in my daily lol, just wanna be able to play with quick cars and scoot around faster than the average used sedan

And it will do that perfectly and in luxury. At 350awhp it is getting pretty fun, but you can still keep it mostly stock still too.

True enough. I hunt bigger fish. I'd still seriously consider 335is unless AWD is a must.

We get 72 inches of snow annually over the winter where I live, which makes AWD very nice... I made it through last winter on snow tires with RWD but it was not ideal by any means

Lol, well hell, no wonder AWD is on the top of the list. I'd need a winter car and a summer car then. I wouldn't bother driving mine in the winter there.

If they salt the roads in the winter, most states do, I would buy a winter car.

True. I'd have a 4wd grand Cherokee with LTX A/T tires myself. Thst shredded snow back in the day for me.

I drove mine for 2 years in Minnesota. Snow tires on the AWD and it is a beast! Now I live in Florida and still won't have anything but an AWD. I came from Evo's and I am sold on the concept. 911TT or GTR is next.

I've been looking into WRX's and STI's as well as 335xi's, once again not gonna be the fastest car out there.. but man do those subies hold value well haha. A car that's at least $10k less new, is now worth almost $10k more 3-5 years old, it's crazy. I could get a 12-14 F30 335xi for less than a 11-14 STI, but I'm not totally sold on that chassis, and the build quality of the Subies, especially interior makes me not like them much. Fast, awd cars are such an interesting market

Don't get a WRX, go into an STI. WRX trannies are garbage and WRX owners are willing to shell out cash for STI goodies.
