Handling

[6MTG35]

How is the handling compared to the new 330i?

[kubr1ck]

not as good. let's face it, it'll never be as good. BMW handling owns.

the G is a heavy car, and you feel every goddamn pound of it hittin' those corners.

but then of course the new BMW 3 is bland and retarded looking. A Bland Retard. doesn't come CLOSE to the aesthetic exquisiteness of the G35 coupe, which is a work of art. one of the 5 best-looking cars on the road (excluding exotics, cuz that just ain't fair).

a coupe has about a 53/47 distribution where the BMW stays true to it's 50/50 distribution. That helps.

But don't give up on the coupe. It will do some damage...but prob wont win (drivers being the same)

In Best Motoring,racers tested 330i,G35 coupe and RX8. G35 coupe won all sections, and in curciut race,G35 coupe showed excellent cornering speed and handling as integra R did. I do not think our cars will lose to 330i either on street way or in corner.

06 active rear steering will probably make it better

The BMW will handle a bit better but on a track, the G35 has more power so will do some damage depending on the track.

Handling is the same. Feel is different.

I'm with klubbhead....I don't know the numbers like the skidpad or slalom for the two cars....

But I will tell you the handling feel on the BMW is much much better, that is BMW's bread and butter right there.

My sister has the new 3, and it KILLS my car in terms of handling. Even her old E46 felt better in turns than my G. But my car is faster

Owned an E46 and with my suspension mods on my '03 6mt, I'd say the G handles better. With the E90 weighing as much as my '03, I don't think it will make much difference.
