Amusing how so many journalists praise the Bangle cars after slagging them early on. Isn't it also conceivable that he'll grow to like the 335i down the road? You'd think he'd allow for the possibility...

Jeremy Clarkson always picks the eyes out of German cars. He never got over the war !

He is admitting his mistaken initial criticisms of Bangle's work. Also, the 6 and 5 sereis have grown on him.

And, the current 3 series design could have been more bold thus putting it out of contention of hate it now, love it later that all polarizing designs engender.

I disagree with him a lot, but he is spot on here. Who doesn't want a bold car!?

LOL, he is funny. He's one of those writers that you can't take everything seriously but he does keep you entertained.

Here's his quote from 2004...

"This is the problem with the Germans. They like to analyse, with flip charts, every single detail of every single part of the car. That’s fine, but there is a downside, which is plain for all to see on the new 6-series BMW. It’s as boring as hell. Advertising men will tell you that when it comes to cars they need to attach a single word to the brand. So if you want a 'safe' car you buy a Volvo. If you want a 'reliable' car, you buy a Volkswagen. And if you have a small 'penis' you buy a BMW.

And if you want a car that will rust prematurely and has a less reliable electrical system than a BMW, then you buy "British".

Clarkson loves Jag and AM. You will be hard pressed to find a negative word said about those manufacturers, but he is just pandering to the domestic market.

"And I’m sorry again, but anyone with a 335i is going to spend his entire life explaining to colleagues why he didn’t go the extra mile and get the big boy instead."

He does have a point with the price of the 335i convertible

But yeah, everything Clarkson says should be taken lightly. Most of it's aimed at getting a rise out of people. He's always been anti German, but he finds Jag (all but destroyed by Ford) to be a fine car?? It makes no sense.

Clarkson is hilarious but everything he says is designed to be contentious and get people talking, don't take him too seriously!!

Why does everyone get so worked up about what reviewers think of their car? They're just opinions, nothing more.

When there's a review that prasies the 335i, it's gospel. When there's a review that's negative it's BS. YOU bought the car cause YOU like it, who cares that not everyone feels the same way. It would be pretty boring if everyone liked the same car, there would be no options.

Bottom line, quit worrying about what everyone else thinks of your car. Enjoy it and be happy.

On another note, I never understood Jeremy Clarkson's love towards Jag's. If he thinks the E93 335i is boring, the Jag should be downright comatose. Of course this is why I never put to much faith into what reviewers think.

Anyway, sorry bout the preachy nature of this post, just something I've noticed since joining this forum.
