The cost difference as you indicated is ~$14k, but you also get socked with the $1700 gas guzzler tax and a faster depreciation curve, which makes the TCO a bit wider.

At the end of the day it sounds like you're happy, and that's all that really matters. Enjoy it! For my sake I sure hope your experience with the 335is really was that it was running a break-in program.

Please feel free to post a quick review of your driving impressions after you take delivery of your 335is.
