There is a perfect E92 M3 at my dealer: DCT, EDC, 19", CF leather trim, Le Mans Blue. Love the cf roof with the LMB. I just can't justify 30k over my current 335. Plus I couldn't live with myself not initiating such a car in Bavaria on ED.

Depends what you need, the 335i is an amazing car for daily driving and when you just wanna go fast you can. The M3 is a little overkill for me right now but it was certainly a blast driving one. Whichever you go with you'll undoubtedly love and enjoy driving. I'm sure you could drop the price on the Black M3 if thats what you wanted, I'm not sure how low close to the IB payment. Good Luck!

I would get the 335 - the sedan has just been refreshed, you can't go wrong. Save the extra cash and do something with it. I'm an options person, I like to have all the options that is why I chose the 335 instead. I would love to own an M3 one day, but I wouldn't sacrifice getting all the options I wanted, and ending up with a car I couldn't afford. I was looking at getting an M3 similarly equipped it was 20K more! While it's an amazing car, I did not feel it was 20K more amazing.

I also downgraded from a big V8 so gas was a big thing for me.

But I guess if you can afford a fully loaded M3, then gas is a non issue.
