Ignorant blanket statement IMO.


I agree that both cars are great in their own respect, and I'm glad that Lexus has even come close to coming out with something that equal to what the germans have had a lot more experience with

Of course the M is the winner.

If I was buying from an economic standpoint, I woud get the 335.

I coudln't bare to drive the 1 series. I don't care how well it drives....it's just ugly. And if I was going for power....well, that's not a hard one to decide.

How did they get the price for the M3 did they buy it used?

Anyway if I bought new I would go with a 335i. As much as I really like the new M3 I think the 335i is that good that its worth saving the money on MSRP, insurance, and gas.

I thought they mentioned it's a 02 M3 that's priced at 35K or something?

From the technical stats, can't believe the 135 can go head to head with the 335 ..... but I'd take the m3 in a heartbeat ....

personally I love the 135, i've been seeing them around, and they looks awesome and are damn powerful (and lite), i just don't like how small it is. I mean its smaller then my G1 CL, which i think is a little on the small side for me.

like I said b4 M3 FTW!

I feel bad for the 1... it's so damn ugly and they pit it against one of the nicest looking bimmers ever E46 M3. 335i is pretty damn stunning too.

Anyways if i had the option, 335i for me!

Fairly sure that is their official channel now.

Looking at it now I guess this is a different dude, but the bbc does post their own videos aswell.
