I mean, think of this: you drop your precious new 335/535 for an oil change, and the SA asks you how you like your car. You say it's marvelous, you like the handling and acceleration blah blah service talk while you wait for your loaner or rental. And then the SA drops the bomb - how would you like another 80BHP and a wad more torque, ready when you pick up the car tonight, all with intact warranty?

All the tuners here would KILL for an opportunity like this...
I know a M3 is an M3, but how would that work with BMWNA trying to sell M3?
335i Dinan = 380bhp 380tqlb or whatever that is for ~48K
M3 = 414bhp 295lbtq - ~62K


I don't think it would even offered that way. just my .02c.
