VIDEO: First real life review of the new BMW 335 coupe

As you see, I am not that biased towards Audis. I was going to call the video "Drive It Like You Stole It" The guy that drove it is a good driver. Also, nice exhaust and engine noises. But this does demonstrate why Qattro or other all wheel drives can be used in performaance applications, as you can see the rear wheels basically have no grip with only 300 hp.

Chewy that's the whole fun of rear-wheel drive! To be able to throw the car in and out of corners with some fun controlled tail whips.

That's the reason I don't go for Audi's or any all-wheel drive cars for that matter. I'm not saying there not some of the best cars in the buisness, you just can't throw them around like in the video.

But you can't really do that just out on the road, especially in the US. Plus you can get cars much cheaper if you just want to spin the wheels.

Oh, come on chewy...

The driver in this video was heavily provoking that car, with calculated downshifts and dropping the clutch at high rpm. In normal driving, with ESP engaged, it is almost impossible to get into trouble in this car.

Yes, Quattro is a brilliant system and has many benefits, but you can not call yourself a real car enthusiast if controlled oversteer doesn't turn you on.

Yes, you can powerslide cheaper cars. And? People don't buy this car to powerslide. It just looks good for the camera.

It just shows the car has that edge to it where it can pull off such drifts on tight turns. It also shows how great of a handling car it is. The average person who buys one will not drive it like that obviously haha.

Matthew,

You can hang the tail out all you want, and the typical driver will do just that, and go slower. Control is everything. Take a tip from the pros, wagging the tail will not gain you speed just watch any BMW race and see how often they do it.

However it is fun.

boring lines, if the car didn't have the grill and headlights it would look like a honda

the rear view is not good at all and the engine compatment and interior views are not good

I bet it would be a blast to drive

for a few days

looks exhilerating to drive. i like the way it looks too. hope to get one if not the sedan version.
