Very cool news.
Curious as to why the sedan is one click faster than the coupe. 
BMW is going to sell a ton of these new 3ers.I honestly think that if I was buying a new car now, instead of one year ago, I would go for the 335i coupe. Not only is the perforance outstanding, but I think its appearance ranks among the top 5 BMW designs ever. My picks for BMW's top 5:
1) 507
2) 6 series (E24)
3) Z8 (E52)
4) 2002 (1976-77)
5) 335i coupe (E92)
and #6) 5 series E60!

I heard from member brian1225 that the new M3 will have well over 400 hp. He was told by someone from within BMW that the new M3 will have close to 450 hp.

BMW says the sedan is 0.1s slower.
Chances are they will be about the same in real world tests with a margin of 2-3 tenths depending on who tests them where/when/how etc.
The C&D test of the coupe was a steptronic and the sedan was a manual transmission.
