imagine all the fun you can have, however, this does put so much stress on the stock components.
its about 340-365rwhp

It doesn't put that much stress on stock components, boost isn't even increased that much

It's like getting a WRX tuned and throwing an exhaust on it...cheap reliable power

Also who do you think started the loaner car programs. It was the german car companies. again its just my opinion but the german car companies like the american car companies keep thinking that they are going to be able to keep selling cars based on their old reputations of 20 yrs ago. todays consumer is far to smart for that, thats why lexus,infiniti and acura continue to take luxury car market share
Wow - you are a plethora of knowledge!

Did you miss the graph above?

Oh and can you provide some facts regarding "thats why lexus,infiniti and acura continue to take luxury car market share" ?

FWIW, former E36 owner here. I don't hate the brand, you won't see me bash bmw, but have hands on experience with reliability issue. I loved my E36 and would still be driving it today if it was up to the task. At first the 335i seemed tempting, its too bad the E46 M3 engine never found it's way into an E90 . . .

Well like he said..it's all what your going to be using the Sedan as opposed to the convertible for. Kids? Married? Work? or just in general.

I went from a 350z which was too small to a 06 IS350...which I am not having that much fun with....to an 08 335 Coupe I just ordered.

just my 2cents.
