but in my case, i will need to go out in bad weather, in case something come up, and i only have one car
if you HAVE to drive in any weather, might be a different story - to me its more of just another option. The subway is 3 blocks from my house, bus stop on my block...

That is a stunning color combo. Member king1828 has that color combo in his M5 and it is sweet.

Joe's interior is even nicer IMO, bc the M5 red is deeper and more brownish than the 3er's...

I am very used to see the interior of king1828's M5 because it is usually right behind my car's tailpipe coming up fast. The red dominates my rearview mirror. You do not appreciate how much faster the M5 is than the 550 until you both open it up at the same time.

I appreciate it very much. That's why its called the "M5".

Since I've firmly decided to sell my car (oh, about 5-6 mods ago ), I haven't really been able to decide between 535, 550, 335 coupe and e92 M3. While all of the above would make your humble narrator EXTREMELY happy, I've decided to go with the lightest and most economically moddable of the four - the 335 coupe. Now, I'm trying to figure out whether the coupe is really better in RWD or should I just opt for Xi and not worry about winters - it does snow in NY on occasion, global warming or not. Northeasterners driving RWD cars, what would you recommend?
sell me all your alpine white mods, then get the 335 xi coupe. its nyc and you have to deal with winter, unless you want to buy a beater for the winter, then get the i. easy decision. 335 coupe is sweeeet

Get the RWD. My friend has the 335i and has no problem after two years. Like theXman said, it only snows like 3 times a year.

So obviously, I'm like the only person on here who cares about the limited slip rear differential... Subaru people would laugh at all of you all! Shame!
Y'all just got those Bimmer to show off - not drive
