You must not drive up any hills.

Crazy. But mine is RWD, Sport but not Msport. Yet a 2012. (It was speced as my spouse's car while I still had the M3C, but I ended up with it.)

So, who knows what the enthusiast market value is. At any rate, I'm keeping it. A totally satisfactory car.

We still miss my wife's '09 Touring… She likes the Countryman that replaced it, but we should have kept the Touring...

I know I have been non-existant from this (or any other forum) for quite some time, but Nick suggested I take a look at this thread since I just got the e90 335. I think this whole thread was started as Nick is now either envious of the car or needs to show me up with something better

Anyhow I don't know what all this talk about small back seats is. As you can see it has plenty of room in the back for 2 very demanding customers. In fact there is so much room that their feet don't even touch the floor

The fact of the matter is this: The E46 M3 is usable in the snow with acceleration at a small fraction of braking. The iX has roughly the same delta-V available in the snow whether one is trying to accelerate or brake.

This is particularly important when dealing with other people on the road, who frequently force me to stop in places where momentum is the only way for me to get past an obstacle.

That is a great looking bimmer, the room in the back is bigger then I remember in mine when I had one. The E90 335 was one of my favorite cars, unfortunately nothing new feels the same.

Each side adds 10hp

It looks much better in person, and luckily I like it as the previous owner said it is bonded to the bumper.
