Why all the BMW hating.. I have almost definately decided my next car is going to be the 335i coupe... hate to say it but the Golf is simply not comparable to the 3 series BMW (335i that is).

Thats like comparing am Audi R8 with a Lambo LP640. Different markets and different targets.
The 335i is bound to be a better car because it costs £15k+ more

what is "better"?
how do you define "better"?

For example, I've just read an article in autonews.ru and they rate best engines of 2007.
3rd place: 1.4 TSI
2nd place: N54 (from 335i)
1st place: 2.0 TFSI

There is also question of build quality, design, lalala.... it is all subjective

It all boils down to what you prefer.. I am not so keen on turbo engines as they have small amount of lag. The only reason I would opt for the 3.5 BMW engine is because it now has two turbos and this reduces lag to an almost unnoticable level.

I think BMw & merc took there eyes of the ball for a while espec merc and there quality suffered big time.
the only beemer i would have is the old 5 series e39/e34 M5, theres to much cack on them now, got a shot of 1 series and was glad to get out of it.

I like the S3. It has the four wheel drive the Edition 30 so badly needs and i nmy opinion looks better inside and out than any other similarly sized VAG car.

I also like BMW's, but would not have one unless it was the 135i, 335i, 335D. Not going to include things like the Z4M (ugly) or the M5/M6 as I would spend that much money on something different.

One thing that is funny is that when you go round the car forums, you get the anti this and anti that, Surprised that so many on here are ripping in to BMW's and Audi for that matter.

I think they call that "player hating"

Not here. My first car was a BMW! They are very well built, and drive like any car should... they have excellent engines, only problem is they are expensive, but you only get what you payfor.
