Am I the only one...

That thinks the E92 335 aesthetically looks better than the M3? Everytime I see a 335 on the road, I admire its nice and smooth lines, but when I see a M3, I think it just kind of looks like a robot and the bulges and flares kind of kill the lines of the car. Am I crazy?

[Mibz]

Not at all. I agree with you. I think the M3 looks like a 335 with a bad body kit.

u2 are the only ones.

hahah M3> 335

If you want an aggressive looking vehicle with clean lines and a mean stance m3 is your choice

I agree the lines on the 335 are nice.. but I could not agree that the m3 looks like a 335 with a bad body kit

Performance is a beautiful thing.

I have the 08 328i cabriolet and I love it's clean lines. I think the coupe looks like crap compared to the cabriolet. However, I would love the performance of the M3.

I agree. I loved the E30 & E36, really liked the E46 but the E92 is a bit awkward, especially in four door (is that an E90 M3?).

In Calgary especially (but even at sea level), the 335i with minor upgrades at least matches the performance of an M3 and is far more understated and elegant, and I think it is a more suitable daily driver because the ride is smoother (even with upgraded suspension that matches the M3s performance).

M3 Sedan > M3 Coupe > 335i IMO

Just saw a black m3 today. maybe its because all the ones youve seen are white.. this one looked pretty aggressive and good in black.

I'm obviously not talking from a performance perspective since the M3 would blow the 335 out of the water, but purely from an aesthetics standpoint I'm just not really loving the M3s lines. I think E36M3 is right on this one, its the elegance and understatedness of the 335 that makes me like it over the M3. The new M3 is too chunky (see: robotic) and "look at me!" imo.

And it isn't just the white ones. I pulled up beside a black one this morning and that's actually when I realized how awkward it looked. Then later in the afternoon, I pulled up beside a 335 on Deerfoot and found it to look so much nicer and wondered how I can not like the M version more then the regular (I've driven neither, so again, this is based on pure aesthetics). Looks wise, I do like the E30M3 more than the regular E30, the E36M3 over the E36, and the E46M3 over the E46, but don't feel the same way about the E92.

We have a 335 Cabriolet and I think the coupe looks WAY nicer. Something awkward about the rear quarter of the car. The lines just dont flow as nicely as the coupe.

I disagree. The M3 looks much better and more aggressive then the 335i. The 335i is just too plain (Just bought one) so i will be doing mtech upgrades to it, so it will look very similar to an M3 soon.



The lines are nice, but left oem it can look a bit.. boring.

I think the M3 looks horrible with the stock wheels but once you change that up the car looks 100x cleaner.

All BMW owners think they are the only one...that's just the way it is!

I like the awkwardness of the e92/3 m3

Especially with oversized rims, and a nice drop

I think the shape of the wheel wells makes them look silly. No matter how big or how low you go, the "bell bottom" design makes the wheels look small and the wells look empty.

since when do u post like that? lol

E93 M3> E92 M3 > E93 335 > E90 M3. I think the seden looks weird with too many edges. E92 335 just looks plain...

Less is more!

The hump in the hood, the fender gill thing, the front bumper, I just like the 335 better. But this 335 isn't stock either, so maybe that's why. I think the 335 would look even cleaner without the fogs.
Or maybe I'm just getting old and aren't into super modded looking cars anymore
