Compared to his E92 335i M-DCT this feels much more precise and nimble.
The interior is a major improvement (the look, controls, iDrive, Instrument Cluster) the HUD something I think every BMW should have standard.
Have experienced the 8 speed Auto in our X5 but in the 435i it's something else.
One day I'll hopefully be in a BMW.
And to add, this has standard from the factory which the 335i did not have:
Xenons
Sunroof
PDC
Parallel park assist
Rear View Camera
Sat Nav
Hi-Fi Audio.
The only options were the HUD, M-Sport pack, M-Sport brakes and 19" wheels.
