My 2011 335is is one of the last BMWs, IMO, that does not have a numb feeling. It gives you a direct feel of the road. I had it out this weekend for an extended spirited drive and really appreciated how it actually feels and handles. It's very different than my Porsche was (the Porsche felt lighter and nimbler), but very good in its own right.
I can't wait to drive both (335is and G82) back-to-back to compare the feel of each. |
I have both an m3 comp with AWD and a 2011 335 msport.
The g82 feels way bigger but also way faster.
But the 335 msport (which had stiffer suspension than the base 335) is way more connected to the road. You can slalom the paint dashes in the center of the road and have so much room to maneuver. Maybe this is what the m2 feels like (never driven one) with so much more room on the road.
Still would not trade the m3 bc first time I drove the 335 after the m3 I thought the parking brake was stuck on, but wish the m3 was smaller.
