Add to that power seats delete. I'd keep the moonroof but have no use for power seats...especially if takes a couple hundred off the price, so I can get another option that I actually want without spending extra money. I really wish BMW had just passed on the extra standard equipment (logic 7, power seats) that the 330 gets over the 325 and lowered the price proportionally (at least $1000-1500) in the process...so that those of us who don't want them can get the larger engine without paying for options we don't want.

LSD, unfortunately, we won't see. LSD in the base 3er would infringe upon some of the performance exclusivity of the M3.

Sport package, Premium package, 6-spd manual, that's about all I need.

I agree. The KISS rule applies here.

Also, make comfort access standard in the 330i/335i.

ZHP, LSD, sexy looking factory lip kit all around(not CF splitter stuff), more performance oriented auto tranny(SMG please, or anything closer).

I need sunroof. CA definitely sounds good.

I came up with a new list...

I'd ask for an LSD option but I know full well why BMW doesn't give us one - to protect the M3's luster. Still lame.

In general (and within reason ):

-More aggressive sport tuning/package: short throw shifter, lose the dual-mass flywheel, tighter suspension, heavier clutch. The current package isn't aggressive enough. Raise the price a bit if need be.

-Give us the ability to order Lemans blue exterior and Lemon interior (yeah, that's the exact combo I would go for )

-Black aluminum/cube trim in addition to the currently available aluminum/wood

-Optional power seats delete

-Comfort access should be standard on 335, especially in lieu of power seats

-With sport package, give us clear/white headlight trim a-la the rest of the world - lose the ugly orange, put small square orange reflectors in the bumper instead (which can easily be removed/replaced/painted if need be)

-Optional factory badge delete (a small request, I just hate having to floss the damn thing off and then spend time waxing the trunk afterwards)

-Optional full sized spare, so we can lose the RFTs

-Only charge for the difference in price for 18" or 19" wheels over existing factory wheels, rather than being forced to buy the wheels outright, seperately - I'm could be wrong, but I've heard that Europe can specify wheels when ordering (and only pay the difference), why can't we? Or can we? Can Europe? It's been a long time since I've been involved in ordering a BMW.

As top dog...the 335i should have the M Sport Body Kit/Package (or similar) as standard at the very least (like 330i ZHP).

I sense a poll coming on. I want ZHP/Msports pack stuff, including the awesome interior w/alcantara, shadow blue cloth, anthracite headliner, steering wheel, shift knob etc. If it is not much trouble, nuke the luxuries (sunroof, power seats). LSD and no runflats would be great. But i will buy it either way, especially if I can get an E91 335si. I apologize to those on the list that for obvious reasons may not share in our enthusiasm for the release of the 335, but this is my little piece of heaven that I have been waiting a loooonnnggg time for.

Here would be my optioned 335:

Imola Red
Natural Brown Leather
Burl Walnut
6 speed
Sport Package
Premium Package
iDrive (the option I really wish I would have gotten on my 325i)
Xenons (I would assume standard)
Logic 7 (again... assumed standard)
19" CSL staggered wheels on non-RF tires


Items I can do without:
Comfort Access (press the stupid remote button... are you that lazy?)
Rear window blinds (blah)

More tire! 245-255 up front, 275-285 rear. LSD would be nice, but I know it'll never happen.

Definately bring out a DSG clone tranny. I know they can't pull a Porsche and borrow from Audi's parts bin, but it's taking too long for them to answer that one.

If I'm really dreaming, a club sport edition with some options deleted; manual seats...basically all the crap that makes the 330 heavier than the 325, lower final drive gearing, LSD, lighter wheels, etc.

But I'd be happier with some wider tires, the potenzas can barely put down the power of the 330 now, 305hp is going to be a DSC nightmare.
