Hello folks,
I test drove the new F30 335i, the car had nice sound and a nice pop sound on upshifts on the 8 speed, I do not think it is on 535 8 speed for some reason.

The f30 was sporty but the 335 even with M suspension does not as ride as nice as the 5 with adaptive suspension. The F30 335 has more ambient noise prolly because of less sound proofing to save weight.

The 335 had great steering feel , good handling and the fully loaded car was 57 K, and no power telescopic function, lol

I am gravitating towards 535xi for 8-9 k more but i didn't get a lot of seat time on the 535 , so i would appreciate if owners can chime in on their experience living with 535 with adaptive suspension , steering feel and if any experience with f30 355

Thanks
