sounds awesome chong! sorry i couldnt make it out...to much stuff going on this weekend trying to get ready to be at sema all week.
I knew you had alot on your plate lately and with Sema next week. NP We can do it another time. The BMW guys would of loved to see your Ride!
First off - I love the 335 platform. If a 335xiT with 6MT would have been available when I bought my 07 WRX wgn ltd, well, I wouldn't be on this site... Was in traffic behind a new 535xiT on the way home tonight...a simply gorgeous beast. Anywho, I find it a bit pointless to compare a typically equipped $50k car with a typically equipped $25k car. For the delta in base price alone you could have a Subie that could shear the doors off a 335 (or new M3 FWIW)...or, you could have two Subies (with exponentially great reliability)! I'm not saying...I'm just saying.
as a onwer of both cars, id pick the sti over it, but it rely depends, if i wanted a baller car with enuff speed to get me by id pick the bmw.(ladies luv that car). as for racing and tuning id go for the sti. when i got read of my 335 to justin i have not regreted it yet, i luv my sti.
