My interest in the 328 vs. the 335 was primarily the motor--we needed a platform to develop parts, but it also was for fuel efficiency. I've been fascinated with the idea of a BMW that makes 300hp and gets 30mpg.

With the mild tune that we have on the car now, I am satisfied with the acceleration (although it holds no candle to the shop 135i big turbo FBO with 481 ft/lbs of torque), but I am disappointed with the sound of the four banger under acceleration. It doesn't have the sound of a premium car. I don't mind it at idle, since I can hardly hear it.
