Well I on my 5th BMW - my to previous and an was an 335i
I purchased the 28i blind - no test drive as they are rare in the uk.
So i researched and did an lot of analysis - and I came to only one concern.
I realised that I did not use the full POWER of the 335i - probably once or twice a week in just for an overtaking. So i looks at car stats and 30mph - 70mph the difference of an 335i vs z4 28i was about an second.
I also planning in going for the JB4 - however the running costs are saving me £1,200 - £1,800 per annum!
I have only done 1,000 and its the first time i drove with past as I was late for an meeting - and to be honest I did not miss the 335i
The only concern I had - was going down from an 3ltr to an 2ltr - but the exhaust sounds okay - but investing in an quad tips lol
I am TOTAL amazed this is not many of these - for BHP and MPG is an total winner. As I am achieving 10MPG better than the 335i. I know in the USA you pay the same price for an gallon that in Europe pay for an ltr.
There is an difference between the 335i and 28i - one main one is noticeable torque - but the JB4 should help on that. There is an difference when your doing 100MPH+ - as the 335i just did not slow down.
However when do i do that speed - very rarely!!
Would i change my 28i for an 35i NO (sorry 35i owners - just the cost of ownership)
