get a 335 regardless. it comes with more options standard anyways. (moonroof, xenon, alarm all included, theres $2350 already).
if you want to play music wirelessly you need the enhanced bluetooth. 650$. if your strapped for $ on options I would put this low on the list. and you don’t need navigation for this as posted above..

I have heard this time and time again and have experienced first hand the quick wear of BMW leather. I am about to turn in my 2011 e90 with Chestnut leather and it is pitiful how it looks after less than 2 years and under 15k miles. My 2008 e90 with Terra was not much better. I am about to experience the leatherette first hand in 3 weeks (I was very hesitant to go for it at first) but have PM'd numerous people on the board here about the leatherette and everyone has spoken very highly of it.
I agree with others that the lighting package is a must if you go for the 328. Same with the DHP (although I have yet to experience it first hand).
