Ahhhhhhhhh. . . I was so going for a 35i w/ MT + M Sport pac + Dinan Stage II, but now. . . ?

I know the 35i vs. 35is specification steering and suspension components are identical, but obviously BMW has tinkered with the software to enhance them, but are they that much better?

I'm absolutely crazy for the M3 cab but it's no wonder the 35is pulled away from her because of the 35is 369 ft-lbs tq vs M3 295 ft-lbs tq. Plus, the 35is 3,549 lbs vs M3 huffing away with 4,145 lbs. That's not really a fair fight for straight line performance. The M3 would kill the 35is in the curves. But, as we all know, tq is where it's at for street performance at anything less than 125 mph. Wild hp figures aside, give me more tq any day!
