There are several options in 335i which are standard:
- Alarm System is standard [$400]
- Sport Package is cheaper by [$800]
- Premium package is cheaper by [$1700] 
- Xenons are standard [$900].
Notes:
- If you don't get ZPP on 328i, you'll have to spend $3600 for ZPP + $900 for Xenons just to have them.
- If you don't get ZSP, then you'll be stuck with 17" wheels on 328i. 18" wheels are standard on 335i regardless of the package.
- I have lumped all the standard ZPP options in 335i by saying that ZPP is $1700 more on 328i than 335i. If you decide to NOT get ZPP on either 328i or 335i, then you get these for free: Moonroof [$1050], Auto-dimming Rearview Mirrors [$ N/A], Power Front Seats w/ Memory [$995].
I am not even talking about performance here... We're just playing with numbers. If you want a low-end base BMW, go for 328i. If you want a fully decked out 328i - You're making a poor choice. You'll spend less on a 335i.
If you care about fuel consumption, 328i. I don't give a damn about fuel consumption, personally.  |
i dont need all the gadgets and gizmos. i need bmw's beautiful sports suspensio, sport seats. and a nice engine. the 335 with leather and sport and ZPS is close to 50K. I want to be close to 40K and i am.
Xenons are nice, but im not to concerned about looks and what people think im driving. I dont need power seats and never use the moonroof i have. I i am right at 40K.
335 is a great car, if it still had the N54, then maybe i would consider it more. But this 328 is looking like an amazing car, great efficiency, more than adequate performance, and i like the styling so thats a plus.
Anyone spending 50K on a 328 is a moron. same schmuck that would spend 70K on a 528...
