Good points about the colour choice and tech upgrades though however the 335i is just too much for the budget I have imposed.
I test drove the 335i, as well as the Z4 35is, and honestly (get ready for angry comments) didn't think either had enough zing to beat out a fully loaded 328i considering the difference in price. Below 70mph there isn't much noticeable difference in acceleration with the 328i when compared to the 335, and with the money you save you can get the 328i fully loaded. I'm totally happy with my purchase. Would I get the 335i if my budget allowed? Of course - its a brilliant car, but the 328i is no consolation prize, its simply the best car I've owned.

I turned in a 326hp 370Z roadster for the 328i, but the torque from the motor, and the overall feel of the car are leaps and bounds beyond what I had before. It was love at first drive.
