I actually had money down on an 08 ISF at the end of last year (2008) deal fell thru as the dealer couldnt get me the car in time. After seeing a few pics of the 335 modded plus what can be done to it aftermarket i was sold. I picked up a demo from the dealer for about 15K under list (during the hardest hit times for dealerships)
Yes its a heavier car then the 8, but it moves.... It will hold its own against many higher end brands, I took her to the track, the Cayman couldnt keep up, im consistently doing high 10's with it as is on road tires.
No i did not do a pre-tune dyno run, i only dyno'd it when the tune was installed.

Great E92 you got there man.
My best friend is the Internet Sales Manager over at Crevier BMW. This will definitely be my next car too. Although, I'm going for the E90 variant....albeit with a M badge
I love that 3.0 liter twin turbo I-6 engine. It hasn't even seen full potential yet in the hands of capable tuners. It honestly reminds me of the old tuning days - 2JZ-GTE motors, SR20DET motors, and 4G63 motors. These things love boost and tuning and the results clearly show!
I'm still a NA purist at heart. Hence my reasoning for getting the E90 M3 instead of the 335i. But I WILL ADMIT....that modified 335i cars will be walking me.
V8 ITB sound > speed for me.

Fully loaded 335i is more like 50k.
A fully loaded 135i is more around 40k+.
You have to remember that BMW introduced the 1 series which took the original price point of the E46 chassis 3-series. It's a marketing tactic (an ingenious one might I add) to raise revenue from an existing line and also introduce the new line at a higher price.
The general public didn't seem to mind the price increase as my friend reports that they're selling these cars like hotcakes.

Remember im in Canada, so we get raped here compared to the pricing in the states, I bought mine loaded minus the Idrive/Navi. All other options were in the car. Sticker was a hair over 60K. I bought it for 45K + Tax with 2900 KM on the Clock. I know the states is much cheaper, but it was a steal with the current canadian rates.
Oh, and the E90 M3 is such a sexy beast.... i would love to own an M car one of these days..

sweet looking 335, my dads got one same color, but thinks its too powerful already. I raced him in the wrx and now i have him interested in making it more powerful to beat me (he got the 335 initially to have a faster car than my 8 hehe)
