Yeah, I'm a little ticked off- at myself, at BMW, whatever.. I've got a 330 w/ 900 miles that I bought last December (don't drive it much), and now the 335 is here. I can only hope the car costs more and the discounts are not as deep- that's my only salvation! I got 2K off sticker, basically free car bra ($150 I think) and waited about 4 weeks for the car which I special ordered- pretty quick, I thought.
I looked at the M5 (not to buy!) and thought, 500 HP!!?? WTF do I need with 500 HP? Why? Where? When? A track day, sure, that'd be fun, but other than that...... 500 hp? And I love cars, and power- we all do.
At some point, though, it does get crazy.
I'm probably rationalizing a bit- bummed that I only have the 255, but you know, for that car, it's more than enough.
