I was pretty dead set on getting a 335, even test drove 4-5 of them, but since I rarely would use that extra power, I decided to test drive a 328 and see if it would be sufficient for me. Since I come from a handful of Japanese 4-cylinders, the inline-6 had enough low-end torque for me to be happy.
I ended up buying a 2011 328i w/ xDrive and couldn't be happier. There have been a few times when I feel like it falls flat in terms of sheer "fun" factor when mashing down the pedal, but overall the car is great for daily driving. My wife wants me in a larger car though, so if I move up to a 5er, I feel like I would need some extra juice to get that extra weight moving along.
