Need Advice ! 335is vs 428i M-Sport

[Khomkrit]

I really like the power of the 335is but the 428i have a beautiful style
I don't know which to choose , if the 428i still has a strong power kick and a better suspension to take corners then it might be a better option ?
I really need you guys' opinions , thank you! Greatly appreciated!
P/S: the 335iS (one with DCT) not the normal 335i

E92 335is vs F32 428i I guess is the question here? Thats actually a good question. I'd take the 4 myself but the "is" is equally as cool but looks dated in comparison imo

228 with the m suspension. Modern looks, and performance surprisingly close to the 335. I think the 228 is quite a bit underrated. Or you could go for the 235... similar in cost to 428... a lot more fun.

335is,just not a fan of the interior quality of the F30/32 series.The exterior is nice though.
P.S.
Are you sure the 428i handles better than the is?

It comes down to what matters more to you the performance or the aesthetics. I'm all about the performance. If you are planning on mods I'd go with the 335is because of the higher ceiling.

OMG guys... I just test drove a 335iS , just like they advertised.. The Ultimate Driving Machine !
I don't think I even have to test drive a 428i anymore, the suspension is superb, the feel you get from the ground to your butt is orgasmic, the power kicks in when you want it with just going a little deeper into the gas pedal *this is w/o the M-Sport button on*
but a little cons: steering wheel feels like I'm turning a 20lbs dumbell, and the car is a little low
So I'm wondering if say I'm driving on the freeway and there's a pot hole , would it damage the car ? Just an average size pot hole that you see normally ? Yep , old LA's freeway
I also want to add something , you haven't drive a BMW , you haven't lived...
Sorry for my stupid excitement I'm just overwhelmed coming from a 10secs Accord

Yes,the car is low,so you'll have to adjust your driving habits-you have to watch out for potholes,parking curbs,steep driveways...Also,I don't think you know but for around $800 you can make the is even more exciting.

You aren't even going to test drive the other model you are considering? I've driven a 428i and it was quite a blast... I'd probably take the 335is over it to just because of the rarity and the bigger engine but I'd at least drive them both so I knew for sure.

I will test drive the 428i tmr , sorry got too excited yesterday after the 335iS test drive xD
I have heard of JB and COBB tune , but I didn't know it could work on the 335iS ? I thought it only work on 335i ? And also researched that others say it doesn't really work ?
I still not sure what are these , I just know it has something to do with the software control , but if many of you guys got the result , I would definitely give it a try
Again , thank you so much for your comments ! Appreciate it really much

While you are there why not give the 2 series a go as well? Not just a shameless plug because I have one, but while it is a bit smaller, it isn't that much smaller than the e92. But they are a ton of fun to drive.

Will do sir ! I hope the dealer won't get cranky at me for test driving so many cars :S

The m235i should be a similar price range as a decently loaded 428i, and it is in my opinion the fastest and most fun out of your choices. Also most loved by car mags heh.

So how do you like your 335is so far?
