Honestly, I don't think you will miss much. Definitely take a look at the A5 S-line. It's around the same price with a 335xi.

If you are willing to invest 2k in coilovers, then handling will be excellent.

i went for a test drive a couple weeks ago and i guess i didn't notice the handling because the car was just so fast compared to what id driven before... i love the power and 2k for coilovers to make the car that much better i can pay later after the thrill from the speed goes away only thing i worry about is warranty has anyone had an issue with the kw v3 and warranty?

My personal experience with the AWD cars in the 335 category was it was the better handling car. I booked a test drive for all the cars the same day and I even went back and tested the 335xi and I did find it better.

I don't think anyone has ever had problems with warranty in that regard. And KW V3's have some of the best quality on the market.

dont worry u wont have issues with warranty. ur basically swapping out most of the suspension so theresn't not much to go wrong that u'll need the warranty to replace. KW also has their own warranty in case something is wrong with the coilovers. its honestly a night and day difference after i put them on the car. so fun to drive. my friend has a g37 and he's really impressed with the handling along with all of my other friends who've driven the car.
