I like all the modern turbo (SC) engines; they feel more lively than NA engines (even low end)
A 335i has way more power, especially down low, than my IS350...not until I wring it out to 4K rpm.
Even if you take a lower level vehicle, like a VW 2.0T compared to a TSX 4cyl. The power output is similar but I like the feel of the 2.0T.
For me anyway...it's almost a reversal of the 80's turbos...the NA engines feel mediocre below 3500 rpm, and the turbos have all the torque.
It maybe a combination of the electronics getting in the way (as in my IS350) and heavier vehicles...but all things being equal, I'd take the blown engine.

I'm just curious to know, did your Mom have any troubles with the Run Flat Tires during her lease or is she still on them now?

She did not have any problems with them, although she did have to replace them once because they wore out. Both of my parents have been saying that the car rides too harsh for them - They've driven German cars since 1990 and like the firm ride. My Dad swears it is the run flat tires. I think it is part the fault of the run flats and part their car before this was an '05 E60 530iA. My Dad had 2 X5 Sports & neither of them rode as harshly as my Mom's 3.

I've heard the same thing from my passengers on the 335i. Especially those riding in the back that it's uncomfortable and that it's a rough ride.
