My fiancés next car will more than likely be the 335i. We took one out last weekend. I didn't feel that is accelerated as quickly as the SRT-6 but their claimed 0-60 times are very close. The auto 6 speed with the paddle shifters is a nice piece. Gear engagement is quick and precise. We wanted to drive a manual gearbox but no one in San Diego had one. Brecht BMW in Poway was supposed to have ordered several manuals since they were getting a lot of inquires.
The biggest advantage are those turbos!!! Vishnu tuning has a chip for $1,300 that makes an additional 55-60 whp and 70-80 ft lbs or torque! Here is a quote from the 335i forum.
