Is there a real difference between the 335is and the 335i? I'm not a fan of 19" wheels with rubber band tires. Nor of high prices.

After yesterday's successful 335i test drive, I was thinking of going with a low mileage '10 to bag a n54. That engine felt slightly more thrilling to me than my (distant) memory of the n55. Mileage (+1mpg?) and reliability (if any difference) be damned.
I've been batting the idea of selling my M5 around for the last couple of weeks and had settled on an n54 335 M-sport as a replacement. I even found the perfect example at a really good price here: http://www.competitionbmw.com/certif...135341522a.htm
Today I got my M5 back from an oil change and my mechanic convinced me to hold onto it for at least another year... hopefully that is good advice. Maybe the link will fit what you're after instead.
