This is a very good video comparing a Dinan 335I and the M3.

HK that video was shot at Willow Spring and at the airport in Inyokern 8 miles from my house. Same places where alot of Car videos are shot.
Same airport with the same Sierras in the background. Owens peak
is the tallest behind the five finger outcrop.

that's probably the nicest TV-internet test film made in US.

anyway, my question would be if Dinan actually change out the suspension on the 335 and if the car was a sport package one that has the better seats. In the video the 335 ride height and the way it handles look very stock.

I have read on e90post that the M3 and 335i share nearly 90% of the same parts. I remember the M3 having stiffer bushings, among other differing parts, but the geometry was said to be the same.

bmw just dropped the money factors for the m3s quite dramatically, along with offering 0.9% buy rate across the board.

sedan/convertible are at .00025 (practically zero) and coupe is .00050

you can get a lot of car for a lot less than a c63.

i'd still get the c63 all things being equal. but money wise, they are simply not.
