Just go test drive them and feel what's right for you, it's a lot of cash without trying all your options. 328i is lighter front end but has less power. But then the reviewers just borrow them and get paid to drive them!

I notice all the reviews that rate the 335i below that of the S4 tend to be US reviewers. In the UK they don't seem to rate the S4 as highly just picking one out of the air e.g. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evoc...s4_review.html

Plus you are comparing a standard 3 series with an S badged Audi (I know not what tweeks Audi makes to put the S badge on it). BMW has yet to name or detail anything of its S range competitor the M performance 3 series... but you could probably bet your existing car there will be one. They have trademarked M335 M340 and M350 plus M have confirmed the Tri-Turbo diesel engine fits in the F30 chassis "easily". We may even get a diesel and a petrol M performance option - after all there is even going to be an EfficientDynamics petrol edition (!)
