Mine is an X, Dinan springs so it sits lower, staggered 19 inch summer tires. Without the badges it would be hard to tell the difference.

I was at a BMW event today @ Citi Field in NY (where the Mets play). The BMW guys (kids) at one of the stations were trying to tell me the 335 M-Sport they had was an X drive. After showing them there were no X-drive badges they finally agreed it was RWD.

On another note, I had a blast ringing the neck of a 228i on an autocross course, and at the sake of sounding obnoxious, had the fastest time out of the 13 people on the course.

I highly recommend signing up up for these events. Next time I'll register earlier and pay for the Driver Control course, all day in M3s and M235i. Great way to spend a week-end afternoon.

I have dinan suspension and rebadged the drive emblem…no visual to tell it's and x-drive - looks better that stock m sport 335 RWD with the dinan set-up (and the suspension is equally as good if not better)
