excellent discussion and I bought the 35i before the is was available! I like the $499 idea.
as for me, I went a little overboard; added a Stett FMIC, AR catted/ceramic coated DPs, charge pipe, and Eisenmann race exhaust - long story on mods but it started with my wife wanting an aggressive exhaust note and it spun out of control as I am a bit obsessive. I had an ESS stage 2 flashed when the FMIC and Exhaust were added a few years ago but I thought it was crazy power with these mods so stepped down to the stage 1 and it is now just right.
that is a really long way of saying I should have waited for and bought the iS for the money or simply bought a 35i with ESS stage 1. No regrets though, the car is sweet and we added Michelin PSS; it is now perfect with 30k miles and almost 4 years old.
