Crazy to think it's 8 years old already...

The E90 interior has not aged well.

It's a nice car, but slow, quiet/boring, and no LSD. It handled very well though. |

It didn’t start off all that great either...

I agree it was too slow. The B58 is a much better engine, even if turbo (and maybe because turbo). If I'd had my current engine and LSD in my E91, I might not have sold it.

N55 drops in easily, but drives worse.
Also, you can add a lot of power by swapping the manifold. BMW really crippled the 328 to make space for the 335.
