sports car and winter car are not interchangeable terms. If they were, you could easily get an all-wheel drive Diablo VT

I don't buy cars based on price. I buy them based on excellence. The 335i, RS4 and M5 are, IMO, equally excellent.

I'm not just comparing price alone....how about function, and equally excellent?? Not IMO, how is a 335 in any way shape or form equal to a RS4....and how is either one equal to a M5? These rides have nothing in common: one has twin turbos and is RWD, the other has AWD and a V8, the latter has a V10 and RWD......wait..I got it, they all have 4 doors



Well, I guess this list is just odd:

•*335xi coupe
•*535xi sedan
•*M3 coupe
•*M5
•*S5
•*S6
•*S8
•*RS4

Maybe this list would have made more sense:

•*335xi coupe by itself or maybe against the M3

Then..

S5/RS4/M3

or

S6/S8/M5

And if I was looking at these cars, I'd also be looking at the MB S63AMG.

That's just me...what do I know.

I was more confused by the "New winter car" heading and seeing M3/M5 make the list.

But, hey, we all have different opinions of what consitutes a winter car or winter beater.

Sounds like you got a lot of (fun) test driving to do.

x3 comes to mind, especially if it is to be handed down.
