I agree that Jet Black does not show off curves as well as Space Grey. However, BMW does it again with the suspension fine combo tuning of handling and ride with good dampening. I will say, the E92 coupe definitely rides better than the M3, yet has the similar handling characteristic. The only thing I wished the 335i had (maybe at least as an available option) is a limited-slip differential. What is going one with sports car companies these days. I can't believe even the standard 997 Porsche 911 Carerra or Carerra S doesn't come with a limited-slip diff anymore.

With all this power on the 335i, you will be wasting power & time on the track without that M-variable locking diff!

It's very plain and actually quite Accordish from the side but when I saw the Space Gray one around the corner, the one I test drove, it looked much better.

I would add that the slab-sidedness of it would be less prominent with a nice set of 19" wheels. I can't wait to see something like that; a Space Gray or Montego Blue with 19" CSL style wheels or HRE/iForged would look sick!
