Yes the acceleration NUMBERS are slower but the instantaneous torque on tap is amazing. It feels FASTER than a 335i, even though the numbers don't say so. 9L/100Km for city driving can't be beat, especially for a car with 425 lb.ft of torque.  | |

Even with a shitload more torque than the 335i it's still slower,
Weighs 200lbs more
It only saves you about 3L/100km which, if you drive around 15,000km a year will save you around $500 which is pretty insignificant in this price range, ($50,000+)
but personally for the fun tradeoff I don't think it's worth it,
+ in canada I think it only comes as the sedan,
but still I think you should get the 328 | |

I got 8% off my E92 335i (leased). You can get 8% without much begging, 10% is the max.

went for a test drive today, (they only have a 330xi for test drive)
but I'd have to say I was quite disappointed  ...the car's performance was nothing like what I was expecting
The car felt only marginally faster than the 06 330i I was driving...and there is a big difference compared to a 02 M3 manual (contrary to what I've been hearing)
I test drove the heavier xi and we had 3 people in the car, not sure how much of a difference that made. I compared the 330i and the 335xi on the same stretch (from a 60km/h on ramp going up to 180km/h)

The gas milage between the two isn't much but you would have to put higher octane in the 335i compared to the 328i. Not too much of a diff tho.

328i w/ a stick shift is the way to go if fuel economy is on ur mind. Do a quad exhaust conversion & u got urself a mean car.

lol...there is nothing higher than 91 in Toronto (except a very few station)
Ended up ordering a fully loaded 335i, MSRP $61,900 with $7200 discount (including the free auto from BMW)
Good/fair/bad deal?

Good/fair/bad deal? | wow, great deal!
to OP, if you can afford it, 335i without a doubt.
328i, while fast enough for most of people, is just slow if you test drove both back to back.
I love my 335i and never regret it.. if you just want to look "cool", E92 328i is probably all you need.. if you can afford it and want to enjoy a real beast, 335i without a doubt.

The ONLY option I really wanted was the M-sport, but EVERY SINGLE ONE of their 335i with M-sport are pretty much fully loaded...
The M-sport pkg & 18" wheels make the car stand out a lot more...i hate the fact that a plain 335i being $15000 more expensive looks almost identical to a 323i. (except for a few chrome trims & exhaust...)

Very nice deal because your car is stacked with options. And I agree, the M-sport package is a must and well worth the extra money. It's actually cheaper to get the package compared ot buying the package seperate. I wish the E92's had it when I got my car but oh well. By the way, does the audiophile package include the usb input?
