Think about what might happen when dct eats shit, not too many people fix them and they are more expensive used than regular 335i zf at. But that just my experience, bmw dcts might be very reliable, I don't know.
In summary, if that 6mt 335is is offered for not much more than 6mt 335i typically go for, go get it. If not, pass

i did not limit my search to an IS. But finding a manual transmission 335i (coupe or sedan) that has not been molested and modded is almost impossible. so when i found this one owner 335is that has never been modded with low miles i jumped on it. i agree that the 335is doesn't command any big premium over a regular 335i, except for the fact that the 335is continued to use the N54
