Lol jeez didn't mean to start a war. The thing I love about the evo is it has soul. It has a POS interior but something about me still wants it. I'll be twenty in a couple of months and I don't think spending a lot of money on a car right now is a good idea. I just want something thats relatively cheap but very fun to drive.
As for the interior thing. I've seen evos with sickk in dash units and alcantara roofs and pillars that just shit on any BMW interior. |

Talking about the interior of your car in a thread about an Evo makes you look like a complete tool. If you can't understand why someone would want a no frills performance car, you should just exit the thread instead of cluttering it up with your babbling. There are VERY few vehicles in the price range that will hang with a tuned Evo on a road course, and a 335i damn sure isn't one of them. Even your username screams "tool." Twinturbo335.....well NO SHIT! Is there any other kind? |

My friend has one. I got a ride in his car at Buttonwillow and it was a monster. I thought I was going to die on every corner but the car just stuck to the road. It helps to have a good driver in it too. All he did was change the wheels to fit wider, stickier tires, and he was passing everybody.
He knows there is power potential in the engine but he has no power mods. I think it's because he knows HP masks bad driving (which is probably the case for most people on this forum). My car is nicer than his but nowhere near as fun. I can't believe the way he corners to no abandon for a STOCK suspension and drivetrain.

That is my opinion. It's a controversial topic. But it is a downgrade in my book maybe because I don't like a POS interior not because I am a badge whore? Quote:

What are you...12? It's a public forum, and you can say whatever you want, but you can also be expected to be called an idiot for it. Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away, it makes it worse. This isn't a thread about 335i vs Evo, it's a thread about someone who's returning a leased car and considering a no-frills performance car to replace it with. As for my 135i, I'm not the one in here bashing the interior of the Evo, now am I? Cars serve different purposes, but I guess that concept is too difficult for you to grasp. And your excuse for your username doesn't even make sense. Even before you had a 335 they were all "twin turbo", so what does that have to do with anything? |

Buy it and enjoy. I had and Evo IX RS and I loved that car. Superb performance on the autocross course, terrible daily driver (for me). When I can afford to have a "race car" to take to the track and autocross as a secondary car I'd buy another one in a minute. Don't worry about people's opinions on a message board. Do what your gut tells you to do.

I think if you want to buy a $25K car when your 335i comes off lease, you should just buy your 335i. That's what I did. You can negotiate yourself a huge break off the residual.
The Evo 9 is a blast to drive, but compared to the 335i, it is: 1) Very loud 2) Very rough riding suspension 3) Has a TON of turbo lag. You thought 29.2 was bad? 4) Is predominantly a FWD car most of the time and the forward weight bias is very obvious from behind the wheel. The engine sits out in front of the front axle and you can feel it up there when you turn the wheel. 5) Probably gets worse MPG than the 335 if anything You'll be unhappy in the long run. After a week of driving it, the fun will wear off and you'll wish you had the comfort and all around excellence of the 335 back. YMMV! |

My 24-month lease was up in December '08. The residual was $34.9K. I bought it for $26K, although it wasn't CPO'd. Brush up on your negotiating skills...
