Everything you say about it is absolutely on the money. I was between the 335is and the M3 convertibles, but ultimately went for the 335is because of its balance of handling, power, feel, and finish, plus a great exhaust note as well as the rarity of the \"is\" model designation. Frankly, it didn't cost much less than the M3, but without taking anything away from the M3, which is a great car, the 335is didn't give up much on performance or finish to it either, plus being rarer it was more likely to become a collector's car. Your detailing of all the various M and performance upgrades built into the 335is explains why it competes so well as a driver's car against the M3. The 7-speed DCT transmission is an absolute gem. I love a stick shift and am the proud owner of a 2002 M5 (black on black, aluminum trim, all options), and the 7-speed DCT doesn't feel like a compromise at all, plus it shifts much faster and precisely than I can, even with the best foot technique.

The only possible third owner would be the dealer, Passport BMW, who originally received the car from the factory, leased it to me, and immediately assigned the lease to BMW Financial Services Vehicle Trust.
