I still can't justify the $7K price increase over the standard LCI. The only thing I like about the 335IS is the engine and extra cooling. The exterior looks toyish (too many badges and that rear diffuser). And I don't like those wheels at all. Can't stand the silver interior trim either. The side mirrors are big, but will look better if body color matched. I beleive they were made larger because of new U.S. DOT laws (so not BMW's fault there). As for the transmisson, the DCT is good for the track, but not refined enough for the street. I'll get flamed for this, but as a daily driver I'd rather have the smoothness of the steptronic ZF tranny. Just my 2 cents.
