The 328 gets it's torque at 1250 rpm and the 335 gets it at 1300 rpm. There would be no discernible difference other than the 335 being rated at 40 lb. ft. more. I definitely noticed that the 335 was considerably more eager to GOOOO than the 328 in my test drive.
EDIT: also according to the dyno results posted here the 335 has 44 more horses than the 328. That is noticeable regardless of the 60lb. weight difference which isn't all that much!
Another EDIT: Also please don't think I am in any way bashing the N20! It's a great engine! Makes the 328 (at long last) fun to drive. But the 335 just has a little something extra.
