Anyway, I drove the 335i M Sport and it really surprised me. I expected a lazier 6-cyl experience. It sounded great and had peak torque figures very similar to the N20 (technically slightly better at 1200rpm). The 335 delivered a very similar drive to the N20, but with the great I6 soundtrack.
I settled on the 335i M Sport and have spec'ed the M Performance exhaust also.
Now the wait, January 2013 build...going to be a long one.
