Good post, GrimReaper, but i have to disagree with this:

Sorry, man, but everything about Porsche is very special, IMHO.

Their unique design (which doesn't have to appeal to you, of course, but it's definitely unique), their boxer engines, their superb handling, their chassis, their victories in motorsports, their history... Everything of just mentioned is special, very special for me...

The out come of the article is nothing but expected. It is pretty obvious that the 911 is the better sport car while the 335i offers good handling to leans toward towards the GT side.

I agree with you on that one though :-D

Its just too toned down in its old guy looks. I even think that the BMW is rather bland in its side profile, but it gets out more emotion from me than the simple 911.

The 335i was designed with the intention of matching the performance of the S4, which they have achieved, and probably have exceeded as well.

Wait for the new M3. The M3 engineers amongst others also have the following interesting objectives:
1. Challenge the performance of the 997 Carrrea S on track.
2. Replicate the sound of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
To answer any doubts about meeting these objectives:look at the 335i for answers.
