    Having issues with the 335i?
    I was at the Motor Show yesterday. Had a seat in the 335i sedan with some kind of sport package (sport seats etc) , really nice interior and paddle-shift 'box.

    Ha. Ha. It is to laugh. No, the 335 is a whole different animal than the M3 because this one, you know, works! I'm not fixing the cars, but I am tinkering with them, polishing them, or playing with the kids in the front yard.

    Paddle shifters are a sign of the apocalypse, at least as far as driver talent is considered. Cars are becoming waaaay too automated. They can keep their iDrive, e-brakes, and e-steering. One of my favorite quotes is, "The most important nut in any racecar is the one behind the wheel."

    You know what? I was thinking a similar thing when I encountered the new Nissan 370Z at the motor show. They were describing how the new manual 'box had a system of downshift rev-matching which basically voids the practice of 'heel and toe' downshifting. I've personaly just discovered the art of heel and toe and I find it to be the most gratifying thing to get right...
    How sad.
    I hope it doesnt becoming a general thing for manual 'boxes.
    Glad the 335i 'actually works'
