Not into tuning so if I say something that's wrong, please correct me.

If you were into tuning, why wouldn't you pick a 320 over a 328? I get that the N20 in the 328 isn't the same as the N20 in the 320 but surely they're capable of the same thing. The difference in price looks to be about $4k in the US and about $6k+ in Canada. To me, that's a whole lot of money saved that could go towards aftermarket parts/mods. Sure, the 320 is basically a stripped out 3-Series but isn't that what tuners want anyway? They don't care about all the tech and luxuries.

I keep thinking, is there really a reason to go for a 335 unless you really wanted a I6 or doing some extreme tuning a N20 is not capable of handling? It's like comparing a M3 to the M3 GTS. I'm pretty sure the price difference between the two (60k vs. approx 170k with conversion), you put towards the base M3 to make it as close to a GTS as possible and still save money.
