They're fun!!!!
My GF got one in August. They pull pretty decent for a 6-banger. We were driving an 02 Collectors T/A & I thought it was a decent ride w/good handling & brakes. The T/A brakes don't exist vs. the 335i. The first aggressive stop will leave some soil in your seat if your not careful.
I'm not sure what it is but the trans is the only thing I haven't grown accustomed to. It's the 6spd auto but the shift feel is like an electronically shifted manual trans (for lack of a better description) vs. a *traditional* auto transmission.
The T/A still feels like it would dominate the stop-light grand-prix though (stock ls1, built 4l60e w/2600 stall & 3.23's).
*Traditional american auto trannys are my only prolonged exposure.
