"I brought in the S4 into the discussion"
It's a nice car, but If it's not RWD, it's not on my radar.

I owned the 335 coupe for a year. It was, bar none, the most fun car I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot. But for whatever reason, i brought it in four times for engine failure issues. they thought it was all sorts of things, but finally narrowed it down to high ethanol content in the fuel. my neighbor had the same car with no problems. i since have bought a 535 and have had no problems.

Noted, the reviews have said it drives just as well as a RWD once you get the sports rear differential package. Go test drive it, you will be suprised:)

I'm not a fan of AWD, but I have read that Audi has closed the gap with BMW, so maybe I should drive it. I've only driven one Audi before - a 2004 A4 1.8T. I was not impressed.

I was considering the same two vehicles and ended up with the G37 sedan (not the coupe).
1. More rear seat room in the G37 (IMO).
2. Concern about the longevity and reliability of the twin turbos on the '335.
3. G37 ~$10K cheaper.

I can opine on your question of 328i vs 335i. I drove both when I was shopping. I am not a spendthrift, but I paid the extra for a 335i. The 328i is by no means slow or peaky, but the 335i simply has power everywhere on the dial. You never have to really boot it (although doing so is very enjoyable). Just my thoughts.

Test drove both cars this past weekend and ended up getting the the g37 sport with all options. 335 is a great ride with a bit stiffer handling than the g37 imo. If you want the options and don't want to spend another 7-10k for them, get the g37.
