BMW 135i or 335i?

Interested in both. Which one?

Common issues?

Which years should I avoid?

RWD or X-Drive? I'd prefer rear-wheel, but live on the east coast (DC area), so worried about snow. Does X-Drive take away all the fun?

if you need to ask if you need AWD, you don't need it.

get snow tires

DC winters are very hit-or-miss. We got three feet of snow this winter, but others we literally get nothing.

Get a cheap spare set of wheels and snow tires like other user said. Steelies are just fine just make sure they will clear your brakes. You should be able to get a set with tires for $800 or less

Get a 135i and snow tires.

ALSO... Forgot to mention that my budget is $25k

I'm honestly leaning towards the 135i because it seems like a cool little zippy go-kart. What does the 335 offer over it? Just more space and practicality?

If you're that worried about snow, just get a Subaru WRX.

snob appeal

Ehh, I respect their performance, but don't like the styling. Too immature.
