I have, old friend . More of one today and then down to the SW and back in a day next weekend (about 800km round trip) - looking forward to it.

Unless you were tracking your car and lap times meant a whole lot to you, or alternatively the word "affordability" is a minor consideration only (especially since LCT kicks in at a whole lot lower level), the 328i is a great balanced choice IMHO. I thought I'd miss the 6cyl a lot more than I actually do, and my wallet certainly doesn't when I fill up either.

I agree with you, to a degree. However, I would have to say a 328 would be a compromise. I hasten to add, that I mean that in the nicest possible way. I bought this 335i with my heart, not my head, I will be the first to admit.

Having driven the 328i at speed, at revs, around a twisty track, I agree that it certainly holds it's own and I was (as I have said elsewhere) terribly impressed. Far more than I thought I would be. I did prefer the M3 on that particular day, though

But, yes, bought with the head and NOT the heart, I probably would be happy with a 328i, especially if it was tuned.

Now, I'm off to go burn some fossil fuel...

Simon was kind enough to do some coding on my car yesterday. I took the opportunity to have a first hand look at the new beast. The photos do not do the car justice. The interior is the best I have seen and the carbon fibre really sets everything off.
It is a one of a kind car.
We'll done Simon and definitely worth the wait.

Awww, thanks rjr058 - it looks even so much better with the tint on now. 35% on sides and 22% on sunroof and, shhhh, the rear. Looks great!
