The numbers in my first post maybe "best-case" and we all know that what an SA says doesn't matter until it's down on paper but whether it ends up being a $3K, $4K,or $5K difference doesn't really matter.

And for the performance of the 335i there just isn't anything out there better [all-around] for less than $70K and I already have a large $70K Bahn cruiser.

Truth is that the only hesitations I had in buying my e90 last year were power/power band issues which appear to be nicely solved with the 335i [and I couldn't wait any longer then because I didn't want to put another years worth of miles on my e46].
