Yeah, something's up. I don't see much room for a car in between the 335 and the M3 as far as power and performance goes. For the a 340i to fit, something's got to give. If they make the 340i too close to the M3, it'll cannibalization the M3's sales. If the 335 is too close to the 340i, the same thing will happen to the 340i.

Bmw has made the 328 a better performer than the last car. They didn't make the 335 more powerful than the last one, it's actually very slightly less powerful than the last one it seems. Also, they didn't bother to modify the chassis and engine layout of the 335 to handle as well as the 328 around a track (which they knew mag reviewers would jump all over). Plus, they're pushing the 328 like no ones business. Bmw is setting us up for something.

I don't think that 335 lovers have anything to worry about. I think something is coming down the line that will make them very happy to trade in their e90 335s. Then they can get back to feeling that high and mightiness they got used to over 328 owners ..lol
