Congrats, it is fun to mix it up every couple years which is why I enjoy a lease. What are your thoughts of Ithe speed of a 545 compared to the 335? My guess is they would be very similar. Sounds like fun-congrats! I am ordering one in about a year when my lease is almost up-have 1 year and 4 months to go and can hardly wait to get into a 335. I get bored easily. I wonder how much they will up HP next year for the 335 since its been 2 years already and usually every couple years a power change is implemented.

My guess is 330 hp for next years 335

Thanks. I don't have it yet so I can't comment yet, delivery is a week from today. The 335i sedan I test drove did feel similar to the 545 in acceleration. I decided to lease this one, I plan on looking at the F10 when that comes out around 2011 and doing ED.

I had a 335xi for a week before I traded it for my 530xi. It was most certainly a rocket! I remember flooring it on the highway one day to work to pass a guy. I reflected shortly after with a "Holy sh$& did I just launch past that dude" comment to myself. It was unreal how quick and nimble that car was.

I also got a chance to drive my uncle's 328xi coupe, which wasn't quite the rocket, but still fun to drive.

In the end, my 335 sedan was too small and uncomfy for me, however it was certainly a sweet ride which handled much better than my current 5, which I guess is to be expected.

Good luck with it and enjoy!
