Well my girlfriend have a 335 and is fun...i have a 6 series and i'm also think about a M3 or maybe another 335. i know is kind of small compare to what i have now, but the 3 series are fun to drive and they are fast too! i also thinking about M5 too but not sure yet? Is it the M3 are faster then the M5 does anyone know?

Ive have buddy, been a few times, they are long sweeps if i remember, it was a while ago though!!! i must say some of the cambers make for great high speed driving but theres no substitue to our short blasts especially around the lakes when there is no tourists about
Don't like sweepers? Come out to GMR (Glendora Mountain Road) I gotta warn you though, it has had lots of cars for supper. That is a super tight turning road, I don't even like going on my 600rr!

Twisties in Cal, you've got to be joking!!!!!
You do realize that, in spite of what you see on TV, California is an extremely diverse state. Within its 250 miles of width and 770 miles of length lies some of the most beautiful scenic drives anywhere, with plenty of alpine twisties. Within LA county lies the aforementioned Angeles Crest Hwy. US 1 highway heading for Big Sur is another great drive. Tioga Pass is beautiful, Shasta-Trinity is amazing, and most areas up toward the Oregon border is worthy of the best postcards (and of the Ultimate Driving Machine).

But doesn't it make you appreciate your car that much more
YES. i actually did a review on my experience in the dealer forum here. i was so taken back by the build quality of the 328. i missed my car the second i sat in the 328. i even told the service manager that. she completely agreed the car is much different then a 5 series

I drove my friends 328i. I'm sort of a big guy so the 328i is just a little cramped.

I had the same type loaner and i enjoyed it. It's definitely roomier than the 08. A 5 series it is not that's why they call it a 3. I would trade mine in for an M3, the only way I would go down a number.

Had a bit of an experience with a 328 loaner last week, all I can say, for the money, there are better cars. You don't get much for as much as that car cost. Now, the 535i my father-in-law got as a loaner, now that was a car.
