Just out of curiousity how are the dashboard electronics any more 'complex' than those in the S2000 and aside from top down driving visibility in the 335 is 10,000,000 times better than the S with the top up.

If I was going to buy a 335 I'd go for the new 335d. 265hp and 425 lb.-ft. of torque and over 35mph on the highway.
And Reed, all those electronics you're complaining about on the 335 are OPTIONAL!
I kind of like all the toys, esp. bluetooth & ipod integration.

I am pretty sure the 335i does all of those you just mentioned, does it not?
I know that the 135i does 0-60 in 4.6, 1/4 mile in 13.4, and 150mph. The S does not do 0-60 in less then 5 seconds stock either
The best 0-60 I have seen in a stock S is about 5.4 and most stock S2k's will barely grab 13's.Most 335i's will do 0-60 in about 5 seconds to 4.8 and will pull high 13's all day.
Chris S- I was being a little sarcastic about not being raced anymore. I hated having big trucks always want to run me in the S. I live in a Redneck town
It is just now that I have a fast 0-60 car no one will run me now

The i-Drive system in the BMW's does suck. That is why I did not get it. And parking sensors
Why are those needed on a Sedan or Coupe? I can see that option being nice on an SUV.

Regardless I like what the 135i has going on over the 335i in a few areas, including:
Better brakes
Shorter Wheel Base
M Steering Wheel / Shifter
Black Shadowline trim included in sport package
RamAir Brake Duct cooling instead of foglights
Hill Ascent Control
200lbs less
Black Chrome Shadowline exhaust tips

... I will out perform the S2000 in almost every measurable category...
