I wouldn't even consider the e350. 535i for sure. Not sure if you're aware of the modding potential, but a simple $1300 tune/piggyback from Vishnu will give you about 340whp and 380wtq. Then all you need is a the Mtech kit, which is an OEM kit that is similar to the M5 bodykit, then some 20s and you're good.

The 535i can be ordered right now, but you have to wait until sept/oct if you want a manual tranny. You should also consider the 550 as it really isn't that much more. The 550 doesn't have the modding potential of the 535, but comes with everything from the factory. Not sure if you're into canyon driving, but I had no problems keeping up with 350Zs, M3s and even porsches while driving a 545i. www.e60.net is a good informative forum. My screen name is heezy545i on there.

Oh and what do you like about diamond bar. I live around there and there is absolutely nothing to do out here.

Your buddy with a 335? Or was it that guy with the wrx?

I know a few people with proceeded 335s and they're doing fine. Haven't heard any issues of engine related problems thus far. Well other then heating issues.
