I believe the word used was let down not different. Read :mahtroy: motherfucker :mahtroy:
Haha and I'm saying I won't be let down.

The Alfa is amazingggggg and I hope it's fixed but I'm not the kind of guy that always needs "better" to be happy.

There is a large portion that the Alfa leaves on the table 360 days a year that an S4/5 or M340 might only 200 days a year. Slow car fast etc.
The other cars you’re comparing aren’t slow, but they won’t give you the same visceral noise experience. The m340 was way to fking quiet and soft. That’s the main issue. M3 comp package is loud AF especially on cold starts and especially in garages, it’s basically straight piped. Makes me smile every time. The fake sport never did, but it looked nice.

You're actually reading my mind. An S or the M340 would get an exhaust immediately. I just know I would have to.
The mod to do apparently was some kind of modded downpipe but it was throwing a CE light on the 335i and i had the PO change it back to stock. I hate mods...

I think so
Tough call between that and an S4/5.

They upped the power to 382 in the 3 series but it's still got :225: . Ramz and a catback would be ideal upgrades.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say. M340i is very fast, just not as fun as something like an Alfa, M3, or SS I would think. It’s just my car with moar powah- quite good but very sedate.

It'a all academic. Putting brosounds on your woman's car is pretty much inviting homicide.
